day blind - malcom mufunde & yaaduniverse lyrics

intro:
tales from the block

verse 1:
back to the drawing board, reenvision my goals
dreams of la la land, i need to know the odds
tired of shooting hoops day in and day out
my brothers pumping iron trynna weigh in their way out
threw the book at him, they caught him carrying weed
a brother trynna make it clean in these dirty streets
tossed him in the slammer wearing tightie*whities
but we gon roll the red carpet when he walking out it
’cause my hero was the lowlife whose baby ma was pro*life
tried to raise the kid but they got him for his whole life
and now the boy is premed, welched on the student loan
writing to his father, “motherf*cker, i wish you were gone”
but mike was a good sport, only smoked the good pot
taught us how to hoop, we all knew him as a good shot
the fuzz made it seem like he was gonna mug a body
cuffed him and they judged him, locked a n*gga till he’s 40
now the mother’s gon kooky selling nooky on the street
to the movers wearing gucci while they cooking on the street
future doctor’s now a rookie selling cookies on the street
how could we not stink when there’s bullsh*t on the street?

bridge:
we day blind
we day blind
we day blind
hook:
hope we’re gonna find our way
lost out here but gon find our home somewhere
hope we’re gon be fine one day
if we don’t find home, we gon build our own someday
hope we’re gonna find our way
lost out here but gon find our home somewhere
hope we’re gon be fine one day
if we don’t find home, we gon build our own someday

verse 2:
she seen a lotta goolies but she’s only fifteen
making out with n*ggas that be bigger than her dreams
riding shotgun in the pimp’s pimped sedan
looking like a piece of meat dangling in the den
a real sp*ce cadet, she’s unaware of everything
oblivious to the consequence of her s*xual energy
innocence has no medicine and she done lost it all
trynna shine in a world that will eat her for her glow
she’s trynna pitch in to the circle of life
but she’s only fifteen already working the night
pretty little jane doe riding the cars and their drivers
naked in the street like she’s lady godiva
mixing with the high rollers, half*brother works the corners
the mother no longer cares about her son and her daughter
’cause her father didn’t love her and his father went to jail
for possession* first time, and he never made bail
now the daughter’s gon kooky selling nooky on the street
to the movers wearing gucci while they cooking on the street
how could she not lose it? what they doing on the street?
what the h*ll you gon do when you got two kids on the street?
bridge:
we day blind
we day blind
we day blind

hook:
hope we’re gonna find our way
lost out here but gon find our home somewhere
hope we’re gon be fine one day
if we don’t find home, we gon build our own someday
hope we’re gonna find our way
lost out here but gon find our home somewhere
hope we’re gon be fine one day
if we don’t find home, we gon build our own someday

verse 3:
they caught my cousin in the knocking shop
moody gear scattered in his whip in the parking lot
took him to the nick and he ain’t seen outta the wall since
hard to make a rose bloom when the orchard is concrete
that’s why most of my brothers brown bread now
and they all screamed, “f*ck the police” on their way down
we still living off the hook and scarper from the old billy
get our uncles plastered off the gin that we dealing
streets is cold, put them eton jackets on
bumfreezers for the bumsuckers trynna warm
see me flog a dead horse, trynna make my mama proud
part of the blessed few to grow up with the pops around
but while i was hooping on the streets
nba dreams, playing rookies on the streets
and writing down rhymes, ty cooking all his beats
sh*t was going down, we wasn’t looking on the streets
we day blind
