good and bad things come in life
and I wish the good things would stay
but usually it don't go my way
and the good things fly away
I have a knack for doing wrong
but I try and I try
maybe my future don't look so bright
but I'm not asking why

you gotta live your life from day to day
that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn
and let the hard feelings go

I try to make new friends from day to day
and if they respect me man fuck they're ok
it's the yuppity white people that fear me
that I can't stand to see
cause if you're a good person at heart
your color means nothing to me
I talk to so many black people from day to day
and it seems like every time I see a white person
they just turn away

you gotta live your life from day to day
that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go

you gotta live your life from day to day
ya ya that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go
