Lyrics for Sunny Day by Akon
Who'd ever thought that I would see this day....
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away...
Cos I was lost and couldn't find a way...
and now I look forward to every day....(welcome to my sunny day)...
Block don't stop always stayed hot...
No matter how the seasons got..
I still remember when they took me away....
Kept it on lock then I got caught then I realized that I had to stop...
Then I took the time to explore a better way...
Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go...
I just know, there's a sunny day
Who'd ever thought that I would see this day....
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away...
Cos I was lost and couldn't find a way...
And now I look forward to every day....
Welcome to my sunny day...
my sunny day...
everyday....
a better day...
Welcome to my sunny day...
my sunny day....
every day...
a better day...
welcome to my sunny day...

Been a long day...
On my way to my holy place to pray...
Give thanks for every blessing given to me...
I know there's more to see...more to me...no more living in misery...
Cos this is how I visioned life to be.....
Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go...
I just know, there's a sunny day
Who'd ever thought that i would see this day....
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away...
Cos I was lost and couldn't find a way...
and now I look forward to every day....
Welcome to my sunny day...
my sunny day...
everyday....
a better day...
Welcome to my sunny day...
my sunny day....
every day...
a better day...
welcome to my sunny day...

Sunday, December 21st, 2008
You know how the web is, you start one place then end up someplace completely unexpected. That's what happened today when I started at Mateo's Flashback Video Show at letsgokings.com. Mateo is going through the entire alphabet posting 80's videos for each letter.
Today Mateo is on 'R'. Two things came to my mind immediately: Red Alert and Red Kross. I found a Red Alert video on YouTube, it was them doing the song In Britian. I couldn't understand why this song was so strong in my mind. I figured it was on one of the many mix tapes I highjacked off Andrea Enthal shows on KPFK.
Actually, the reason it is burned in my mind is because it was on the Punk and Disorderly compilation that I used to play endlessly in my teen years.
So now, I'm listening to snippets of the songs on iTunes and seeing which ones I want to buy. I already have a few like Banned From the Pubs by Peter and the Test Tube Babies (how's that for a descriptive song title and band name?) So, I'm not sure which I'll buy and which I won't.
That's one thing I love about buying music on iTunes and having and iPod is that you don't have to listen to the whole album if you think some of it stinks. When it was on a cassette or an LP, you'd have to make an effort not to listen to it.
Just for fun, here's a track listing for Punk and Disorderly. Available on Amazon and iTunes. All song links go to iTunes.
1. Last Rockers - Vice Sqaud
2. Viva la Revolution - The Adicts
3. Complete Disorder - Disorder
4. Banned From the Pubs - Peter & The Test Tube Babies
5. In Britian - Red Alert
6. Someone's Gonna Die - Blitz
7. Kill the Poor - The Dead Kennedys
8. Police Story - The Partisans
9. El Salvador - The Insane
10. Army Song, The - Abrasive Wheels
11. 4 Minute Warning - Chaos U.K.
12. Mania - Outcasts
13. City Baby Attacked by Rats - G.B.H.
14. Government Policy - The Expelled
15. Stab the Judge - One Way System

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
If you've been following this blog you know that weekly songs have been provided by DJ Rinkrat for the past few months. This week, Rinkrat is on hiatus and Gal VanIZed is at the turntable. I may have found out about this song thanks to Rinkrat but I'm the one who insisted that it be the song of the week.
I want to dedicate this tune to all my students at Long Beach City College. We are always talking about how one person makes a difference and how your thoughts effect your perception. What do you suppose might happen if you made this song your theme song. What if you listened to it so many times that it got stuck in your head. What if, everytime you started to doubt yourself or feel like giving up, you started thinking about this song?
I think it could be powerful.
I looked for the lyrics to Self-Esteem by Nelly on the web but didn't find them so I listened to the song (willingly) about 5 times and tried to jot them all down. I'm gonna have sweet dreams tonight. If you can help me with any of the parts I've missed, I appreciate it.
Chours 1
You got to believe in yourself
Don't let nobody tell you what you can be
You got to believe in yourself
And everything else will work out, you'll see
2x
Chorus 2
I think, I.., Naw, I know, I can 3x
I know I can 2x
You see my papa was a rolling stone
and my momma had problems of her own
but I still managed to make it out okay
although I'm hailed as a hometown hero
Still in my hometown I'm seen as a negro
but man that's okay
There's so many obstacles in life to overcome
and as soon as you jump over one
here come another one
But we got to be strong and set examples for our sons
If the sun don't shine then the decaying has begun
Chorus 1 repeat 2x
Chorus 2 repeat 3x
They say I'm old enough to go to war
But I ain't old enough to play in the NBA no more
Now you tell me what's wrong with that
I pledge allegiance all the way to Iraq
But ain't nobody pledging to me when I get back
Tell my Uncle Sam he's wrong for that
You see my self-esteem
I'm never leaving home without it
They told me I'd never make it
They told me I ain't got it
(this verse is unclear for me)
Now tell me whoever made it
now tell me I ain't got it
I'm sayin' (??)
who's sayin' I ain't (??)
Chorus 1 repeat x2
That's right
You gotta believe it brother
Chours 2 repeat - 3x's
Rock on Nelly
Rock on my brother
Keep your head up over the storm young fellow
Got a letter from the government
Opened it, read it
and told 'em all to forget it
Because we believe in the future
Uncle Sam sends his man to recruit you
You still can't trust it
But you came this far
end of discussion
When you know who you are
Chorus 1 repeat 2x
That's right, believe
Com'on now
Don't let nobody tell you what you can be
Nelly, tell 'em now
That's right, rockin' in pos-i-tivity
Chorus 2 repeat 2x
You gotta believe
You gotta believe my brother
You keep doin' your thing
That's right, keep that head up
all the way into the future
that's right
for the babies, baby
