brighter day - re:flex the architect lyrics

[hook: emaé]
we dry up the tears and then we…
fight through the pain and then we…
run through the maze because we know we’re gonna find a way
to peel back the clouds and then we…
push back the storm and then we…
bring back the sun because you know there’ll be a brighter day

[verse 1: zero bas-m-nt]
yeah i’m sure you’ve had days you prefer to have changed
‘coz the world’s fast-paced, went from first to last place
but you can turn that bad day into the best you’ve ever known
once you learn to have faith, and that stress, just let it go
your fate’s inevitable, so accept you’ll never know
what tomorrow holds, so what you looking sorry for
when you already know everything’s gon’ be alright
it always has, ‘coz no matter what, we got by
god just throws in obstacles at times to keep us on our toes
and teach us all we gotta know – so smile
i remember living in the ghetto, dead broke with even less hope
it was so stressful, i almost let go, but i didn’t
so now when i reflect on those lessons i was given? i get it
but since then, i’ve come to believe god was humbling me
and wanted me to see what it means
‘coz now i know how ugly the streets are
how corrupt the police are, how those with nothing to eat starve
and our government’s a complete farce, yeah what i’ve seen’s hard
but doesn’t that determine what we are?
i ain’t trying to preach a sermon, believe me y’all
and i’m not saying i live my life perfect, that’d be completely off
but when things seem hardest?
you find out who you are once your heart is carved out of hardship

[verse 2: cas metah]
everybody knows you got a boulder on your shoulder
but you don’t need to go the road alone, bruh
you got friends and fam for when you get in jams
and they can help you make it spick and span
if you give the chance, the gift of change?
it could build the man that lifts the weight
take the negative and make something productive
you ain’t gotta stay in a slump, it’s still brain over muscle
so pick it up like redman said, man
quit playing a bedpan, you ain’t dead man
def jam might not be knocking down your door
you might not be going on a worldwide tour
you might not be selling out of product in stores
but you got a lot more to live for
like light, love, peace and joy
yes, these need to be the things keeping you going

[verse 3: reflex the architect]
ashy knuckles and elbows scuffed
no rent money, bus fare, i guess no luck
the sound that i’m humming is the growl of my stomach
so h-ll no, dead broke don’t help so much!
so i keep going for these jobs that might pay
meanwhile they keep finding polite ways
of telling me “dear sir, you’re a lightweight
blah blah, die slow…have a nice day!”
chase the dream like terius nash
but my legs have never been fast enough
to catch up, and they tend to sway…
like they put this big boi on a “tightrope”…janelle monae, but hey
then i heard a whisper….
it was god saying “you’ve been blessed, so whinge less
and give thanks. you’ll fall, but you’ll recover
plus what’s a brick wall to a free-runner”…whoa
so i eat gravity for breakfast
happily thank god for family and friendship
strength to laugh loud when sanity was questioned
others would act out, but i’d never back down
even though i had a couple reasons to break down
i hang tight, baby i will find a way
to treat life like barbecue season in cape town
d-mn right there will be a braai today (brighter day)…yeah

[choir vocals: reflex]
know that you will find a way
there will be a brighter day
