《The Day》歌词

[00:00:00] The Day - The Roots

[00:00:09] When I wake up I look into the mirror

[00:00:13] I can see a clearer vision

[00:00:17] I should start living today

[00:00:19] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:00:21] Is gonna be the day

[00:00:24] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:00:26] Is gonna be the day

[00:00:28] Yeah it's like every day I wake up

[00:00:31] I stare into space and don't say much

[00:00:32] Peer in the mirror feeling dead from the face up

[00:00:35] Coffee pots cigarettes morning is baileys

[00:00:37] Slowing down my day before it picks up the pace

[00:00:40] Beats playing since the night before

[00:00:41] Thinking 'bout writing songs

[00:00:43] Feeling exhausted from times we toured constant

[00:00:45] And plus the toxics I sip got me tall

[00:00:47] Still tipsy staring at the city

[00:00:49] From the spot we call Los Angeles

[00:00:51] Every day is like a blank canvas

[00:00:53] Carving my initials in the planet like I brand it

[00:00:55] Handpicked to live this life we take for granted

[00:00:58] Like a child with an upright bass we can't stand it

[00:01:00] Smiling through the trouble we face tryna manage

[00:01:02] My way without pumping my brakes and staying stagnant

[00:01:06] 'Cause I can sit on my ass or just imagine

[00:01:08] The madness I did on my path and paint the canvas

[00:01:10] When I wake up I look into the mirror

[00:01:14] I can see a clearer vision

[00:01:18] I should start living today

[00:01:20] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:01:22] Is gonna be the day

[00:01:25] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:01:27] Is gonna be the day

[00:01:31] Before I rise and shine like a neon sign

[00:01:33] I need the girl of my dreams to give me Einstein

[00:01:36] And burn the marijuana like Buju Banton

[00:01:38] Is my only bonafide break from these confines

[00:01:41] I need a change of scenery like a mind tide

[00:01:44] These kids bringing me the noise like the bomb squad

[00:01:46] And everybody coming at me from the blindside

[00:01:48] I'm tired it's hard to open up my eyes wide

[00:01:51] I listen to some theme music on the iPod

[00:01:53] And walk around the crib doing little odd jobs

[00:01:56] Checking my breath take a view from this high rise

[00:01:59] Feeling like I'm checking out a game from the sideline

[00:02:01] I got to try different things in these trying times

[00:02:04] Twenty ten is different than it was in nine five

[00:02:06] It's come alive time I picked a fine time

[00:02:09] For getting open off life like a fine wine

[00:02:11] When I wake up I look into the mirror

[00:02:15] I can see a clearer vision

[00:02:18] I should start living today

[00:02:20] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:02:23] Is gonna be the day

[00:02:26] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:02:28] Is gonna be the day

[00:02:30] Uh yeah Sunday morning plan my day out

[00:02:34] Whole new blueprint brand new layout

[00:02:36] Deep down still don't know if it'll play out

[00:02:39] Before the first time feel like I done found a way out

[00:02:41] Skin getting clearer and it feel like I lost weight

[00:02:44] Stop and say a prayer for the times I lost faith

[00:02:46] Troubles of the world had me in a cross face

[00:02:49] Chicken wing sickening liver so off base

[00:02:51] But now it's like I'm in the last lap of the car chase

[00:02:54] And I finally understand my right to choose

[00:02:56] My preacher man told me it could always be worse

[00:02:59] Even the three legged dog still got three good legs to lose

[00:03:02] So you can stop and refresh the rules

[00:03:04] Breathe in breathe out let it heal all your exit wounds

[00:03:07] Something inside said that's the move

[00:03:09] And made it today I'll restart fresh and new

[00:03:11] When I wake up I look into the mirror

[00:03:15] I can see a clearer vision

[00:03:19] I should start living today

[00:03:21] 'Cause today is gonna be the day

[00:03:23] Is gonna be the day

[00:03:26] 'Cause today 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] The day is gonna be
