The Day - The Roots[00:00:00]
When I wake up I look into the mirror[00:00:09]
I can see a clearer vision[00:00:13]
I should start living today[00:00:17]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:00:19]
Is gonna be the day[00:00:21]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:00:24]
Is gonna be the day[00:00:26]
Yeah it's like every day I wake up[00:00:28]
I stare into space and don't say much[00:00:31]
Peer in the mirror feeling dead from the face up[00:00:32]
Coffee pots cigarettes morning is baileys[00:00:35]
Slowing down my day before it picks up the pace[00:00:37]
Beats playing since the night before[00:00:40]
Thinking 'bout writing songs[00:00:41]
Feeling exhausted from times we toured constant[00:00:43]
And plus the toxics I sip got me tall[00:00:45]
Still tipsy staring at the city[00:00:47]
From the spot we call Los Angeles[00:00:49]
Every day is like a blank canvas[00:00:51]
Carving my initials in the planet like I brand it[00:00:53]
Handpicked to live this life we take for granted[00:00:55]
Like a child with an upright bass we can't stand it[00:00:58]
Smiling through the trouble we face tryna manage[00:01:00]
My way without pumping my brakes and staying stagnant[00:01:02]
'Cause I can sit on my ass or just imagine[00:01:06]
The madness I did on my path and paint the canvas[00:01:08]
When I wake up I look into the mirror[00:01:10]
I can see a clearer vision[00:01:14]
I should start living today[00:01:18]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:01:20]
Is gonna be the day[00:01:22]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:01:25]
Is gonna be the day[00:01:27]
Before I rise and shine like a neon sign[00:01:31]
I need the girl of my dreams to give me Einstein[00:01:33]
And burn the marijuana like Buju Banton[00:01:36]
Is my only bonafide break from these confines[00:01:38]
I need a change of scenery like a mind tide[00:01:41]
These kids bringing me the noise like the bomb squad[00:01:44]
And everybody coming at me from the blindside[00:01:46]
I'm tired it's hard to open up my eyes wide[00:01:48]
I listen to some theme music on the iPod[00:01:51]
And walk around the crib doing little odd jobs[00:01:53]
Checking my breath take a view from this high rise[00:01:56]
Feeling like I'm checking out a game from the sideline[00:01:59]
I got to try different things in these trying times[00:02:01]
Twenty ten is different than it was in nine five[00:02:04]
It's come alive time I picked a fine time[00:02:06]
For getting open off life like a fine wine[00:02:09]
When I wake up I look into the mirror[00:02:11]
I can see a clearer vision[00:02:15]
I should start living today[00:02:18]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:02:20]
Is gonna be the day[00:02:23]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:02:26]
Is gonna be the day[00:02:28]
Uh yeah Sunday morning plan my day out[00:02:30]
Whole new blueprint brand new layout[00:02:34]
Deep down still don't know if it'll play out[00:02:36]
Before the first time feel like I done found a way out[00:02:39]
Skin getting clearer and it feel like I lost weight[00:02:41]
Stop and say a prayer for the times I lost faith[00:02:44]
Troubles of the world had me in a cross face[00:02:46]
Chicken wing sickening liver so off base[00:02:49]
But now it's like I'm in the last lap of the car chase[00:02:51]
And I finally understand my right to choose[00:02:54]
My preacher man told me it could always be worse[00:02:56]
Even the three legged dog still got three good legs to lose[00:02:59]
So you can stop and refresh the rules[00:03:02]
Breathe in breathe out let it heal all your exit wounds[00:03:04]
Something inside said that's the move[00:03:07]
And made it today I'll restart fresh and new[00:03:09]
When I wake up I look into the mirror[00:03:11]
I can see a clearer vision[00:03:15]
I should start living today[00:03:19]
'Cause today is gonna be the day[00:03:21]
Is gonna be the day[00:03:23]
'Cause today is gonna be[00:03:26]
The day is gonna be[00:03:28]
The day is gonna be[00:03:29]
The day is gonna be[00:03:30]
The day is gonna be[00:03:32]
The day is gonna be[00:03:33]
The day is gonna be[00:03:34]
The day is gonna be[00:03:35]
The day is gonna be[00:03:36]
