O'hene Savant Just Another Day Lyrics

[Verse 1: O'hene Savant]
Just another day on the block
Mommy told me stay from the cops
She said I should play on the block
Recently one of our neighbors was shot
She don't know that kid was my friend
Me and Peanut used to hang with him
Till he started hanging out with them men from the ave
Who was hustling
I wasn't impressed with his life
So I started hanging out with Mike
Mike was the type that would fight
People tease him cause his mom was on the pipe
That was cool cause he had plans
Shooting hoops to get him mad fans
Said he'd even have his own sneaker
And a wedding ring for his girl Keisha
Keisha was a straight A student
Straight A's but straight stupid
Used to flirt with an older Cuban
Started having sex, smoking Cubans
After while Keisha was pregnant
Mike saw that Cuban and threatened
He was gonna shoot him if ever
He could get his hands on a Smith & Wesson
Less than 25 minutes passed
Someone told me Mike had just passed
Dude took his life in a flash
Mike died with a knife in his back
And due to this trifiling act
Keisha's with Mike's mom smoking crack
Man I wish I could bring him back
Just so I can hear him laugh but I can't

[Hook: Greg Stamper]
Though it's just another day
Things really should not be this way
I'll be strong, now move forward
But I wish you were still here

[Verse 2: O'hene Savant] Just another day in the hood
Daddy told me stay from the crooks
Go to school better hit the books
No one can get by only on they looks
He don't know I'm last in the school
I don't know classmates are cruel
All they do is laugh at my shoes
And my skin tone blackest of hue
I was so upset by them jerks
That I started hanging out with Burt
Burt was this nerd from the church
With a sick mom always at work
That was cool 'cause he had plans
Study hard make him mad grands
Said he'd have his own company
And when he got paid he would come for me
Said he'd pay me nice presidents
And he'd make me vice president
Never mind them kids from the class
Betcha we gon' have the last laugh
Till the day doing lunchtime
A bully kicked Burt one time
Little did he know
Burt was trying to forget the fact that his mom died
Burt left the school in a sec
Got a gun through the internet
Came back to the school with a tec
Shot the bully and himself in the chest
Never did his dreams come to pass
Never even seen undergrad
Man I wish I could bring him back
Just so I can hear him laugh but I can't

[Hook: Greg Stamper]
Though it's just another day
Things really should not be this way
I'll be strong, now move forward
But I wish you were still here

Wish you were here
I'll never see your face again
