Night & Day

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night has turned to day
Night has turned to day

I was walkin' in the darkness
I had not yet seen the light
I was swooping with the bad ones
I thought I had won the fight
At the peak of my delusions
I loved money whores and cars
Now I'm walkin' in the sunlight
Broken battered bruised and scarred
but I'm so happy

Night has turned to day
Night has turned to day

In the middle of the conflict
between me myself and lies
I saw people die for nothing
I served coke to hungry eyes

But when i swam deep in the river
Of my conscience I defined
self-reflection, new direction
to a healthy state of mind
I thought I'd never find

Night has turned to day
Night has turned to day
and it feels so good

I ain't going back to the work
I ain't going back to the work
I ain't going back to the work plantation
That's captured all the dreams of happiness

Gonna find the highest ground to stand on
3 lives is enough child

Night has turned to day




Night has turned to day
and it feels so good

Overall Meaning
