Day After Day - Raashan Ahmad

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

Oh ah

You got to change, but the heart still remains

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

You got to change, but the heart still remains

I’m on the path of the progress, I’ve settled for so less

Climbin' the mountain, I lay sleep in the valley

I was raised out in Cali and everyday I would tally

My speech struggled, my ears, the beat huddle was deep

My feet fumbled through streets

Indeed humble, I reached, across rubble

But peep, somehow trouble would flex

It’s complex, the respect I was given

Hear and gone, contradict and spread it like religion

I’m like

Should I give in a system that’s so engrained?

Every 24, different day feelin' same pain

A shame, all in my brain, movin' my frame

Different town, different house cause I gotta maintain

But it’s sane/insane, here comes the rain

I’m on, bus and plane but where’s the change?

No matter the plot I couldn’t get to the top

Day after day hopin' the depression would stop

I feel it

Day after day

Oh ah (I said I feel it!)

Day after day

Oh ah

You got to change, but the heart still remains

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

You got to change, but the heart still remains

Listen, it gets deeper, the sonic come out the speaker

My phonics is soundin' weaker, I don’t write

And really that ain' right

Go to church, monastery, mosques

Tryin' to find an answer, Jesus layin' on a cross

Make me feel more loss, involved I toss out

Any hope for the flowers, devour I hold doubt

Break

Down backstage after my song play

If I am what God made, then why all the heart ache?

I need change from the fever like a parking meter

Leave me alone, even home feelin' off the meter

?

I’m zonin' in headphones

In crowds I’m alone

Stay low like bass tones

Then I hear my momma singin' a song

Said, no matter where I go, the place that I belong

Is peace so keep on

You can change your friends, travel the winds

But your heart remain within

Uh huh

Day after day I’m lookin' for the change

But my heart still remains

Day after day I’m lookin' for the change

But my heart still remains

Day after day

Oh ah (I said I feel it!)

Day after day

Oh ah

You got to change, but the heart still remains

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

Oh ah

Day after day

You got to change, but the heart still remains
