Bad day

From Tales From The Crypt2006

Written by Devlin

Produced by Scorcher

Lyrics

Bad day

[Intro]

Another bad day today

See one of them days.. No weed, no cash in the drawers

One of them bad days

Big up Scorcher

It's Dirty Devils, Tales From The Crypt

Yeah..

[Chorus]

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

[Verse 1]

My diabetes getting me down

I be out with my mates and smoking bare eights

That's all I wanna do

But in the last two years, I've lost two stone in weight

And I know I ain't doing this right

My organs are hurting inside and my Mum goes to bed of a night

And she cries cause she's worried, while i'm on the road with a zute and my buddies

Wish that I could tell her don't worry but she's got good reason

In front of her eyes, her son's healths decreasing

Smoking and drinking when I should be eating, i'm gonna die one evening

And yeah i'll take care of any MC but this illness man it's got a hold of me

So if I end up laying in a hearse just know that I prayed to my Mum first, first, first..

[Chorus]

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

[Verse 2]

If i'm honest then I wanna be rich

Move away from these bits where man's are on sniff

And man's are on crack, put a knife in your back

They'll come and attack for the stack, strapped with a gat

And, do you think I wanna live round here

Do you think I wanna raise my kids round here

If i'm honest then I wanna get paid

And move away today's another bad day

I live for today cause I dunno what i'm doing tomorrow

Although I could probably guess, another bad day God wants to put me to the test

Til the day that i'm laying to rest I hope I get paid in advance and move to Spain or France

And live away the rest of my days

But as long as i'm still here the fact remains with no papes and no weed to blaze

[Chorus]

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

[Verse 3]

Had enough of this same city skyline

Dirty old roads and derelict high rise

I told you I wanna live the high life, yes I wanna fly high

Any way, back to my life

No P's in my pocket i'm broke, no weed in my blunt can't smoke

Life is a joke but you won't see me laughing, living a life I don't wanna live

And the mood i'm in today, hit you with a clip full of hollow tips

This kid wants to come and start politics, quickly abolish it

It's like they didn't hear what I told them, acknowledge it

And it's just another bad day, straight up mad day

Things are on foul play, think it's safe then how safe?

Thugs come and creep in your house mate

Everybody's filled with hate

[Chorus]

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

I had a bad day today, nothing could have gone my way

Just another 24 hours, I gotta do something productive

So I've got one thing to smile for

From Dork

Devlin on Dork

Where Devlin’s verse on Jorja Smith’s ‘This City’ comes from

Devlin’s appearance on Jorja Smith’s ‘This City’ returns to his 2010 track ‘London City’, but it is a newly recorded contribution rather than a sample of the original performance.

Jorja Smith has released her third album and announced a huge London show

A 2027 world tour lands at The O2 in London next July.

Jorja Smith has announced her third album ‘What Are The Odds’ with Wizkid collaboration ‘Alive’

P2J produces throughout, with Devlin re-recording his 'London City' verse for 'This City'.
