Ordinary Day
Look
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Cuz
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Look
Just hanging in my room
Vibing to beats
Doing my homework
Finally assignment's complete
I feel a grumble in my stomach
As I rise to my feet
I wonder what my mother cooking
Cuz I'm tryna eat
Put down my headphones
Did I just hear a scream
I stand motionless
Mama yelling, calling for me
Run down the stairs
And then I jet into the kitchen to see
My step dad standing over her
He drunk as can be
Her left eye swollen shut
Blood staining her teeth
She terrified
See her shaking as she trying to speak
I'm feeling tears
Start to well up in my eyes and the heat
My heart pounding through my chest
While I'm clenching my teeth
Grab him behind from the neck
We both fall off our feet
He fighting hard
But my arm went through and it's deep
I give a squeeze and feel him fading
Man I put him to sleep
Thank God my mama
Brought me to them classes five days a week
Because
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Cuz
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Look
Just hanging with my girls
Party of three
Down at the sushi bar
Me, Monica and Shanice
To celebrate our graduation
Then we hitting the streets
We gonna paint the town red
Yo we finally free
We had the time of our lives
Made some good memories
Kissed em goodbye
I might've cried when we all had to leave
We parted ways
Then I start off for the parking lot
It's getting late
All I'm thinking bout is hitting the sheets
But I hear footsteps
As I walk to my car
I turn around and see a man
Who ain't off very far
I'm getting nervous now
Jogging and I'm picking up speed
Hands shaking something fierce
Fumbling for my keys
His hand grab me by the shoulder
I react in a heat
Load my hips and throw him over
Plant him flat on is cheek
Get in my car and lock the door
Then I let out a scream
Take out my phone and as I drive away
I call the police
Because
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Cuz
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Look
You never know
Things are kinda bizarre
You might be fighting for your life
While the crowd screaming
World Star!
No other option
Ain't no easy retreat
You better have a set of skills
To help you weather the heat
Because
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Cuz
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
Cuz
Trouble comes on a ordinary day
You gotta be prepared in extraordinary ways
Recognize you gotta find a way
To make it through the pain and survive
Protect yourself and make it out alive
