Just One of Those Days
DJ Jazzy Jeff Lyrics

Have you ever in your life experienced a day
Have you ever encountered a day in your life

Where nothing at all seems to go your way
Where absolutely nothing goes in your favor

No matter how hard you try to get out of the rut
Despite your efforts to escape the unfortunate situation

You just could not break the string of bad luck
You simply couldn't end the streak of misfortune

A day where Murphy's law takes over your life
A day where everything that can go wrong does go wrong

And you just can't seem to do a darn thing right
And you can't seem to accomplish anything successfully

And when the day was over you just had to say
And at the end of the day, you couldn't help but express

You said man it's just one of those days
You verbalized that it was simply a day filled with misfortune

My day started off kind of cool
My day began in a somewhat pleasant manner

I brushed my teeth I combed my hair and I got dressed and went to school
I performed my morning routine and proceeded to attend school

I stopped at the store for a breakfast snack
I made a quick stop at the store to pick up a snack for breakfast

A tasty cake and orange juice and a bubble yum pack
I purchased a delicious cake, orange juice, and bubble gum

About that point I proceeded to class
After that, I made my way to class

I spoke to all the pretty girls that I passed
I engaged in conversation with the attractive girls I encountered

I went to my room which was on the first floor
I entered my classroom, located on the ground level

I had no idea what I was in for
I was completely unaware of what awaited me

I sat in my desk and minded my own business
I took my seat and focused on my own tasks

Someone knocked on the door the teacher said who is it
A person knocked on the door, and the teacher inquired about their identity

This girl walked in my imagination ran wild
A girl entered the room, causing my imagination to become active

She stole my heart just by the way that she smiled
Her smile captured my affection completely

I couldn't resist so I grabbed her butt
I couldn't control myself, so I touched her buttocks

She said what's wrong with you fool are you some kind of nut
She questioned my behavior, asking if I was crazy

The teacher turned around while my arm was extended
As the teacher faced me, my arm was still reaching out

She looked me in the face and said Prince you're suspended
The teacher looked at me and informed me that I was being suspended

I said your tripping it's just a bad habit
I tried to defend myself, claiming it was just a bad habit

She put it in my face she must've wanted me to grab it
She presented her butt to me, suggesting she wanted me to touch it

I pleaded my case but she wrote the pink slip
I argued my side, but she still filled out the pink slip

Then I just shook my head I said I don't believe this
Frustrated, I shook my head in disbelief

She sent me to the head of the discipline staff
She sent me to the principal or disciplinary authority

I tried to play it off so I started to laugh
I attempted to downplay the situation and laughed

I said ha ha this story is great
I sarcastically commented, suggesting the events were amusing

It's a big misunderstanding one big mistake
I claimed it was all a major misunderstanding, one colossal error

He didn't think that it was funny he didn't even smile
However, he did not find it amusing and didn't crack a smile

He said hm-hm-hm you're an unlucky child
He remarked that I was an unfortunate individual

I stopped laughing and I said why is that
I ceased laughing and inquired about the reason behind his statement

He said just get out my school and don't you ever come back
He instructed me to leave the school and never return

I said wait this is my school and you're telling me to leave it
I expressed my confusion, stating that it was my school and questioned his request

He handed me my books and said yep you'd best believe it
He returned my books and affirmed the truth of his statement

As I walked out the school back at the wall I did gaze
While leaving the school, I looked back at the wall

And said man it's just one of those days
And thought to myself that it was simply a day filled with misfortune

I woke up around a quarter to eight
I woke up at approximately 7:45

I wiped the sleep from out my eyes and I was feeling great
I cleared the sleep from my eyes and felt fantastic

I flipped my radio on and to my utter surprise
I turned on my radio and was completely taken aback

I thought that it was eight o'clock but it was half past nine
I mistakenly believed it was 8:00, but it was actually 9:30

I hopped up and put my feet on the floor
I quickly got out of bed and stood on the floor

Ran to the bathroom then I (ow) hit my foot on the door
I rushed to the bathroom, but accidentally hit my foot on the door

The pain was immense as it started to throb
The pain was intense, and it began to throb

I said to hell with broken toes I was losing my job
I dismissed the pain from my broken toes, as I was on the verge of losing my job

So I combed my hair then I brushed my teeth
I proceeded to groom myself by combing my hair and brushing my teeth

Threw on my Fila suit and my Fila sneaks
I quickly put on my Fila tracksuit and sneakers

Threw on my Fila underwear and my Fila hat
I also wore my Fila underwear and hat

Then I ran downstairs and kicked the fila cat
In frustration, I kicked the cat that happened to be in my way

I grabbed my jacket then I grabbed my keys
I took hold of my jacket and collected my keys

Then I prayed out loud car start please
I audibly prayed, requesting for the car to start

The car started but what good was that
The car did start, but it was useless in that moment

I couldn't drive it anyway because the tires were flat
I couldn't drive the car since the tires were flat

I did the hundred yard dash to the top of my block
I sprinted a hundred yards to reach the end of my street

Then I grabbed a dollar bill from my left sweat sock
I retrieved a dollar bill from my sock

The bus pulled up I was late and kind of nervous
The bus arrived, and I was both late and anxious

I got real mad because the sign said out of service
I became angry upon seeing the sign indicating that the bus was not in service

I started hiking it I wasn't liking it
I began to walk instead and wasn't enjoying the situation

I saw a little kid I stole his bike and started biking it
When I spotted a young child, I took the opportunity to steal their bike and started riding it

I thought I got away but when I ducked around the corner
I believed I had successfully evaded any pursuit, but when I turned the corner

There was twelve cop cars I said I'm a goner
I saw twelve police cars, and I realized that I was in trouble

Slammed on the flat I did 180 turn
I braked suddenly, skidding on the flat tire and spun 180 degrees

Peddled the bike so fast I heard the rubble burn
I pedaled the bike rapidly, causing the tires to make a burning sound on the road

With the cops in hot pursuit I started feeling like a jerk
As the police chased after me, I began to feel foolish

I thought man all of this 'cause I was trying to get to work
I realized that all the chaos was a result of my attempt to reach my workplace

I could've got away I almost had 'em shook
I almost escaped from them and had them feeling uncertain

Til this girl walked by something said not to look
However, when a girl passed by, an instinct told me not to look

But I thought what the heck a little peek can't hurt
Nevertheless, I decided to take a quick glance, assuming it wouldn't cause harm

But she made me miss the sign that said men at work
Unfortunately, she distracted me, causing me to overlook the sign warning about men working

I screamed out loud as I crashed through the barricade
I let out a yell as I crashed through the barricade

I saw my whole life flash before my face
In that moment, my entire life seemed to play before my eyes

I felt kind of dizzy all I saw was stars
I felt disoriented, and all I could see were stars

I put my hands over my eyes and settled on the handle bars
I instinctively covered my eyes and held onto the handlebars

That was stupid I got off track
I acknowledged my foolishness and realized I had deviated from the right path

Cause about that point everything went black
Because at that point, everything went dark

The next thing I remember is a head ache nagging
The following memory I have is a persistent headache

I woke up face down in the back of a paddy wagon
I regained consciousness lying facedown in the back of a police van

I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dead
To confirm that I was still alive, I pinched myself

A big Flintstones lump on the side of my head
I noticed a large lump on the side of my head, reminiscent of the Flintstones cartoon

They took my picture and my finger prints
The authorities captured my photograph and obtained my fingerprint records

I said wait you can't arrest me I'm the Fresh Prince
I protested, claiming that I couldn't be arrested because I'm the Fresh Prince

I demand that you release me you incompetent fool
I demanded to be set free and insulted the officer's incompetence

You can't arrest me I'm the Prince you know the rules
I asserted that I couldn't be arrested since I'm the Prince and the rules apply to me

You got five seconds 'fore I punch out your lights
I threatened the officer, giving them a five-second countdown before I attacked them

But then the cop pulled out his gun I said ha ha psyche
However, the police officer drew his gun, and I responded with a mocking laugh, indicating I was kidding

I had a call so I called my boss
I had a phone call, so I contacted my boss

I figured I might as well what else could be lost
I decided that I might as well make the call since I had nothing else to lose

Boss I'm sorry that I couldn't make it today
I apologized to my boss for being unable to attend work that day

He said what are you talking about you're off today is Saturday
To my surprise, my boss informed me that I was not expected to work because it was Saturday

Stuck in a cell scared as hell
Trapped in a jail cell, feeling terrified

I'm a hungry kind of tired and I hate this awful smell
Feeling both hungry and exhausted, and despising the unpleasant odor

Maybe one day I'll get smart and change my ways
Perhaps one day I'll become wiser and alter my behavior

But for now it's just one of those days
But for the time being, it's simply a day filled with misfortune

It's just one of those days
It is simply one of those days filled with misfortune
