Just Another Day by POETIK Lyrics
[Intro]
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
[Verse 1]
Paranoid, can't even trust my boys
They plottin' on me, envious to my persona
[?] on me, they rotten, homie
Turned snitched on me; all along, I knew it
Politic and 'bout the truth, bloody far from the truest
I let you in my house, let you feast with my family
Soon as I turn around, you get to backstabbin' me
If that's the kind of G you are, you ain't a G
You are, bitch made but in the worst way
And if you gun for me blood, I'll leave you with a hurt stain, fair warning
Smoke it with my uncle, need it for his cataract
Showin' pictures from the sixties in the Cadillac
An O.G. taught me, "Never sell out", no way
And I never will, uso, that's the true flame
Death before dishonour, brother, that's the real Trey
Pray to God [?] safe passes to us ghetto bastards
Another casket drops beneath my teary eyes
Just for those who ask why, for those who ask why
[Chorus]
I hit the Mary Jane, uso, I just get high
Breakin' outside the safe, only time to get by
Send the prayers, wrap 'em up in kush, blow 'em to the sky
Sun don't shine my way, just another day
I hit the Mary Jane, uso, I just get high
Breakin' outside the safe, only time to get by
Send the prayers, wrap 'em up in kush, blow 'em to the sky
Sun don't shine my way, just another day
[Verse 2]
I remember back in ninety-four, attending elementary here in Samoa
I'm talkin' back before there was a set to die for
Before the days we zig-zagged the Bible
Must've been about the second day of the second grade
I heard another kid say, "[?]", sent the slurs my way
Couldn't understand it, lackin' of the mother tongue
So they beat me till I understood or till the bell rung
Half-European, they ain't seein' Samoan
My [?] so they hate me even more
Called me "[?]" as they beat me to the floor
Ten years of this madness had me ready for war
I pity the child that buried his smile
Adolescent fightin' the streets, lost teeth
My crooked smile been with me since fifteen young, ghetto and wild
Now I'm soldiered up, they don't want beef now I'm bigger now
Last Samoan to call me white-boy got a busted jaw
We ruthless now, so fuck the law
Then I crept out the 6-Eighty-5 overseas
Tryna educate and elevate my hip-hop dreams
Just an [?] rapper reppin' Apia City
Immortalized by the border lines, still here with me
Too lightskinned for the people here in the motherland
But now this white man with a bat calls me "nigga", ain't that a bitch?
[Chorus]
I hit the Mary Jane, uso, I just get high
Breakin' outside the safe, only time to get by
Send the prayers, wrap 'em up in kush, blow 'em to the sky
Sun don't shine my way, just another day
I hit the Mary Jane, uso, I just get high
Breakin' outside the safe, only time to get by
Send the prayers, wrap 'em up in kush, blow 'em to the sky
Sun don't shine my way, just another day
[Verse 3]
Darker than the days do seem as I begin to dream
Tryna elevate my scene, liquor and nicotine
I glance at death in the eye, he want me on his team
Hope to free up my soul, the Devil's gotta hold
Listen what Donnie Hathaway had to say before we passed away to suicide
Here's a song for you and I
The closer I get, the peace and happiness, the more broken my soul becomes
Keep smoke in my lungs, keep drink in my cup
Keep my middle finger up, not givin' a fuck
Ain't nobody give a fuck about me, I was nine years old
When I was left with some strangers in my home
What if I said I was molested, would you look at me pale?
"Ah, well, I'm off to hell, what a story to tell"
Tell 'em pain is life, one in the chamber, barrel rested on my temple
I'ma need some more chronic just to get beyond it
Let's be honest, see what's lurkin', tryna trap the ghetto sinus
But my soul alignment's cooler than a Shaolin monk
When I smoke skunk, don't judge me, just be passin' a blunt
Until I die, it's POETIKLY DONE
[Outro]
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
Forever
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
I hit the reefer, hope to fly away (Fly away, fly away, fly away)
