Not So Bad

[Hook - Dido] My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad It's not so bad I drank too much last night, got bills to pay My head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there'll be hell today I'm late for work again And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day And then you call me and it's not so bad It's not so bad [Verse 1 - K. Jayz] Motherfucker wake up is what I have to tell myself Cause if I don’t then I’ma really wanna kill myself Cause every morning, I have to look for some motivation And if I don’t find some, Lord, give me patience and strength for another day I know you all know what I’m going through Y’all can relate I’m speaking for hip hop, listen to what I say I’m bringing it back to the way it was so we’ll have better days Girls be looking for real niggas, but they over look ‘em Some policeman just wanna find a reason to book ‘em Like, “Oh, his pants sagging and his hat crooked And he probably slangin' them rocks, so you know he took it” Why we always guilty until proven innocent? Just cause my skin color’s darker than his? I hope – nah, scratch that – I pray to see intelligence So we can eliminate the notions of white supremacists [Hook] [Verse 2 - K. Jayz] Everybody fiendin’ for success But they don’t want it just as bad as they wanna take a breath I’m really salvaging what is left So please forgive me if I don’t sound like the new contemporaries Bringing shame to the name of hip hop And the people from the past who flip-flopped Just to sound like these new niggas who sound retarded I could never give to ‘em the credit of actually sounding good And just to make matters worse, they’ll say that they from the hood They continuing the perpetuation of being fake And if you call their music garbage, they’ll say that you hate And they don’t understand that they being watched by the fucking feds Just for them to fuck up, get better, then do it again I guess at the end of the day it’s me, myself, and I I really can’t help everybody, but I still try [Hook] [Outro - Dido] I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
