Lyrics
Ca’lam – Everyday
[Intro]
ayo you know when its time.
[Verse]
growin up was kinda easy, no hard times..
two parents working 9-5’s, I had charmed life..
until I hit junior high, hit a rough patch..
I didn’t fit in, it got under the skin of my rough back..
But no matter tho, fucka friend cause I had a home..
Had a father to teach me, and a mom to hold..
Didn’t get in trouble much, I was a silent kid..
Until I got with my cousins, we always in some violent shit..
Ultraviolet kiss, that’s what moms was special-for..
Didn’t listen to dad when I was small. I was skeptical..
Late snack runs, dad came to check on you..
And never failed to wake up, to get you safe school..
And if I needed something, mom had the check book..
And never forget, the way dad taught me left hooks..
And how to dodge coppas, and how to chin check crooks..
And a whole bunch more that took time and stress…look!..
[Chorus]
you the letters in the words I say..
you in every single prayer I pray..
you in ever single breath I take..
thank ya lord. For sending me some angels..
you the letters in the words I say..
you in every single prayer I pray..
you in ever single breath I take..
oohhh, I think of them Everyday..
[Verse]
So now im highschoolin, kick-it with otha kids..
And I wanna go out today, but now I gotta ask the papa bear..
Appreciate it now, but back then I thought it was not to fair..
I Come home 20 minutes late, he sittin in the rockin chair..
Thas how it goes, tough love to make you discipline..
But he don’t know, it aint like he ever been a kid..
Watch the wind blow from my window, A grounded Child..
But I guess it was for best, my friends are all convict now..
Never got a perfect grade card, but had the brain to..
Couldn’t hang my head high, my performance shameful..
Dad was always mad, slackin off he wasn’t into..
He wasn’t mad at me, but pissed off cause I had potential..
Nothin major here, choir concerts and papers..
I was one talented kid, but couldn’t master playbooks..
Never made a team, didn’t get the politics..
Graduated now, Still cant deal wit politics..
[Chorus]
you the letters in the words I say..
you in every single prayer I pray..
you in ever single breath I take..
thank ya lord. For sending me some angels..
you the letters in the words I say..
you in every single prayer I pray..
you in ever single breath I take..
oohhh, I think of them Everyday..
[Verse]
So now im 18, and im looking little older..
Yes im going to college but I got a block upon my shoulder..
My sister cakin, moms and pops man they both made it..
Still messin with the basics, declaring my ultimatum.
So im takin as it comes, im tryna play it cool..
But this feelin is a new one, revolution away at school..
Time to be a man, get off the floor, get on my own two..
No longer look for confirmation, when makin my own moves..
It’s a hard thought, im almost on my own man..
All the friends I used to have are gone be gone damn..
sister miles away, no more kickin with my closest homie..
visitin days are far and between, so guess im gon be lonely..
but not matter what outcome, guys im still gon love ya..
you taught me all I needed to fight and to get thru struggle..
ima ya last seed, and im like you in everway..
don’t worry bout my loyalty I’ll think of you everyday..
