Good and bad things come in life 
and I wish the good things would stay 
but usually it don't go my way 
and the good things fly away
I have a knack for doing wrong 
but I try and I try 
maybe my future don't look so bright 
but I'm not asking why 

You gotta live your life from day to day
that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn 
and let the hard feelings go

I try to make new friends from day to day 
and if they respect me man fuck they're ok 
it's the yuppity white people that fear me 
that I can't stand to see
cause if you're a good person at heart 
your color means nothing to me 
I talk to so many black people from day to day
and it seems like every time I see a white person 
they just turn away 

You gotta live your life from day to day
that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go

You gotta live your life from day to day
ya ya that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go
