Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality, social consciousness, explores common themes, such as Babylon's corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in Jah and resistance against perceived agents of oppression. Sizzla has over 40 full completed albums sold in record stores to date, the most popular which have been "Black Woman & Child" and "Da Real Thing" on the Digital B label, "Praise Ye Jah" on Xterminator, and "Rise to the Occasion" on Greensleeves.
Recently, however, he has come under fire for the homophobic content of many of his lyrics, and the advocacy of violence against gays.
Just One of Those Days
Sizzla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even my heart cry, but who cares
Who's fault? No one but myself
Things do happen words can't explain
The only human reasoning, joy mixed with pain
People would spend time just for us to separate
They don't want to see us reach nowhere
Oh girl and you know I care
Why does it have to be this way
Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days
Just one of those days
Am I too humble, or ignorant
Things began to fade, nothing seems important
Oh, My girl have left me & gone
Doesn't want to see her in another arm
The essence of her beauty, & her charm
The perfume still linger, hold on
Remember girl, where we're coming from
I'm the one to whom you belong
Girl, you keep me strong
You and you alone, no other one
Why does it have to be this way
Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days
Just one of those days
Keep looking to see her at my gate
Listening to hear the phone ring by the fireplace
Now somewhere out there is my girl
Now where can I find her in this world
Still not gonna break down, nor be sad
Even though I'm stressed out, fed up, & feeling bad
I just can't do without her, OH JAH!
Still a man got to try
Why does it have to be this way
Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days
Just one of those days
Is this happening, for real
Only if you know the vibes what I feel
Still trying to do my best
And I still won't lose my interest
My girl I love you so
Really hurts to see you go
Why does it have to be this way
Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days
Just one of those days
The song "Just One of Those Days" by Sizzla is an emotional ballad about heartbreak and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics describe the singer's intense feelings of sadness and despair after a break-up, and his struggle to cope with the loss of his girlfriend. The song is a powerful expression of the complex emotions that arise in the aftermath of a failed relationship, and it conveys a sense of both vulnerability and resilience.
In the first verse, the singer describes his overwhelming emotional state, using the metaphor of tears to convey the depth of his sorrow. He acknowledges that the situation is his own fault, but he also recognizes the inevitability of human suffering. The second verse focuses on his memories of his girlfriend and the loss of their relationship. He laments the fact that he cannot control his own feelings, and he expresses his desire to stay connected to her even though she has left him. The chorus repeats the phrase "just one of those days," mirroring the cyclical nature of grief and the persistence of his pain.
The third verse is a more desperate plea for reconciliation, as he admits that he cannot bear the thought of losing her. He clings to the hope that she will return to him, and he expresses his willingness to do anything to make her stay. The final verse is a bittersweet reflection on the love that he once shared with her, and the immense pain that he is now experiencing. The song ends on a note of unresolved tension, leaving the listener to wonder whether the singer will ever be able to heal from his heartbreak.
