Daylight
KOTA The Friend Lyrics

Straight chilling, sipping liquor in the back yard
Being relaxed, drinking and enjoying oneself in the tranquility and quietness of the backyard

Straight living like i never had a bad thought
Living life free of negative or anxious thoughts

Still thankful for the blessings on my worst days
Grateful for the good things in life even on challenging or difficult days

Glad i made it out the gutter, i was mad lost
Feeling happy and relieved to have left a bad situation where one was feeling confused and hopeless

I wonder if my mama love me still
Questioning whether one's mother still loves and cares for them

I wonder if my dad fuck with me
Questioning whether one's father still supports and cares for them

Every day it felt like i was pushing boulders up the hill
Feeling that each day is a struggle, requiring much effort to get by and achieve one's goals

Even if you feel like i'm worthless
Acknowledging that others may perceive one as having little value or importance

I say i love you anyway like, flowers do the daylight
Expressing unconditional love towards someone, with the consistency of flowers blooming every day

Love you and your flaws
Loving someone despite their imperfections and shortcomings

Couldn't make you what you ain't like
Realizing that one cannot change who another person is or make them into something they are not

Even when you try to put me down let Jehovah bring me up
Refusing to let others bring one down, instead relying on one's faith to lift them up

You be steady talking down, but i still don't give a fuck
Remaining unaffected by someone who constantly speaks in a negative or derogatory manner

You come at me out of hate
Being approached and attacked by someone with a strong feeling of animosity towards oneself

I forgive you out of love
Choosing to forgive someone for their actions or words based on a deep feeling of affection for them

You been living with your pain
Acknowledging that someone else has been dealing with their own struggles and difficulties

But been acting like you tough
Behaving in a way that suggests one is strong and resilient despite their inner pain

And i get it, i ain't tripping, you ain't perfect and it shows
Understanding that no one is perfect and accepting that everyone has their flaws

Over everything i feel like you should know
Asserting that one has something important to convey to another person

That i love you any way like Flowers do the daylight
Expressing unconditional love towards someone, likening it to the inherent beauty and consistency of flowers blooming every day

Even when you dead wrong, look at you the same like I love you anyway, like flowers do the rain
Continuing to hold love and compassion towards someone, despite their mistakes or errors, similar to the way flowers persist in the rain

I remember days you was talking shit to bring me down
Recalling past situations where someone spoke in a negative or hurtful manner in order to insult or degrade oneself

Clouds hanging over my head, never again
Experiencing a feeling of heaviness or darkness over one's thoughts, hoping to never experience it again

Who was you to tore down
Questioning why someone had the right to insult or bring oneself down

Do you got your shit together
Asking whether someone has their life and affairs in order

Are you keeping it a hunnid
Inquiring whether someone is true to themselves and honest with others

Are you really any better than me
Asking whether another person is truly superior or more accomplished than oneself

Or do it make you feel better about yourself when you Telling me i ain't shit when really I'm just tryna live
Questioning whether someone insults or degrades another person to boost their own self-esteem, despite the other person merely attempting to live their life

And i believed it for a while until i realized that you just a bitch
Admitting that one accepted another person's hurtful words or actions towards them for some time until realizing that the other person was simply a coward

Teasing me like scratching yo itch
Mocking, insulting or slighting someone for feelings of satisfaction or entertainment

Yo you a fucking trip
Referring to someone as unpredictable, illogical or strange

Cause now you wanna know why i'm distant and never come around
Explaining why one has grown more distant towards another person

I don't even look in your eye or crack a smile
Avoiding direct eye contact and refraining from smiling, indicating a lack of interest or affection towards another person

It's a thing called habit I developed it young
Explaining that one has formed a habit of avoiding emotional connections with others from a young age

But imma grind till your face look jealous and dumb
Working hard and persisting in spite of others' negative opinions or insults, with the goal of achieving success

I don't care about the money but fuck it I'm getting to it
Stating that although money is not the main objective, one still intends to work towards financial success

Cause you think that imma fail
Believing that someone else anticipates or hopes for one's failure

I'm a winner and imma prove it
Asserting that one is capable of achieving success and will work to prove it to others

Finna tell me you feel bad for my son cause i'm his dad
Stating that someone has expressed pity for one's child due to having oneself as a father

You a bitter motherfucker and it's sad
Describing someone as resentful or unhappy, and acknowledging that it is a sorrowful quality

Still i love you any way like Flowers do the daylight
Despite the negative feelings or insults, holding onto unconditional love and compassion towards another person

Love you with your flaws
Accepting and appreciating someone for who they are, including their flaws and imperfections

Couldn't make you what you ain't like
Recognizing that one cannot change who someone else is, or make them into something they are not

Even when you dead wrong, look at you the same like I love you anyway, like flowers do the rain
Continuing to hold love and compassion towards someone, despite their mistakes or errors, similar to the way flowers persist in the rain

I said i love you anyway Like flowers do the daylight
Repeating the sentiment that one has unconditional love and compassion towards another person, with the consistency of flowers blooming every day
