Day After Day

Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Everybody try to bring me down
But I keep my two feet on the ground
Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)

No matter the setbacks and steps back
I just gotta press on
Used to wear my failures like a jacket, now its less on
Yes I'm, resilient and brilliant as no other
My grandmothers child ain't raise no suckas
Pac told me to keep my head up, in mornings when I get up
I put my foot upon the gas ain't ever gonna let up
I'm better, and cheffin' with the knife and pen
Thought I told you all how I'm living life again
I used to be the wack ass in the backs of math class
Doodle in my textbooks, scribble in my notepads
Tried to be the next Em, even though I wrote bad
They wish that I knew how to quit, like that scene in Brokeback
You know that, I came a long way from where I started
Fifteen talking bout "oh I think I farted"
In Autumn, I was born to be one of the greatest
Took me 31 years but dammit mama I made it, singing

Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Everybody try to bring me down
But I keep my two feet on the ground
Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)

I used to be a little bit smaller
I never was a baller
I used to memorize all the bus routes
And get cussed out
A big kid but was timid as a church mouse
With a merc's mouth
Never forget the first day
Had to be 9th or 10th grade
When I stepped out my own way
Decided on braids
That's when my whole world changed
And nothing was the same
I had confidence out the asshole
You should've seen me like Eureeka's castle
I was the capital one with no hassle
Til the day that one chick whooped my ass though
But I was strong, didn't break like hymen
I put the pen to the paper and I started rhyming
Finding my voice like a mermaid, I been
A legend in my own own mind, yes I said

Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Everybody try to bring me down
But I keep my two feet on the ground
Day after day day after day
I'm always moving forward (I'm always moving forward)
Day after day

Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
Day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day
