Lonely Day - The Tech Thieves

When I was just a young son I would sit in the tree of my front lawn Dressed for combat with my Star Wars gun I'd been watching movies bout Vietnam When I was just a teen On the golf course green I took LSD I saw my whole life right in front of me So fresh so crystal clean When I woke up the next day With my boys drinking 40's smokin' jays Back to normal but not for me I had been graced by the face or at least The back of the knot Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away That was a lonely day That was a lonely day That was a lonely That was a lonely That was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away Couple years in Oregon 19 then I found myself back again Where I feel free In the city that's home to me University place Where I used to cop tree In the square with my pen Writing down everything At the Nuyorican Poets Cafe See my reflection Staring back at me That was a lonely That was a lonely That was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away Flash forward 15 years have gone by Hair gone white but the well don't run dry Magic in my mic that might make ya cry When the bass drop make ya feel so fly 10,000 hours now I don't need to try When I sink in the body it come alive Just play the beat and the rest will fall in line Interest I be growing like all of the time That was a lonely That was a lonely That was a lonely day I thought that was the only way I thought that was the only way Now all my days are no longer gray won't you send some love my way Send some love my way

Such a lonely day Such a lonely day The most loneliest day of my life Why I gotta overthink shit Knowing that it won't solve anything Why I gotta go to war when I write these bars Looking for the calm that it bring Always living with my guards up feeling like I'm in a quarantine And my only exit be the pen's tip hoping they know what I mean Because I hide it feeling kind of insecure That's the life of an introvert Rather be alone with some Hennessy and weed till my vision is a blur And I feel numb Feelings I don't feel none I just talk to myself every time I need advice from a real one Because my people never understand me Not my friends, not my family Even though they be right here why it feel like they abandon me Because we got different goals And we got different views So we just grew apart Hope you know I miss you Hope u know Such a lonely day The most loneliest day of my life Such a lonely day The most loneliest day of my life Feeling like I don't got no home Late at night riding solo I just hit rock bottom not an Impala when I say I'm low low I just roll me up a couple O's though What I seen done made me lack trust Look him in his eyes you can tell wounds never healed They just patched up like it's bandaids Underneath shit's so bleak And my mama still so sad because my older bro and me still don't speak Both of us just so weak Holding on to resentment So when we get together with the fam everyone can feel that tension And I know she been through too much Didn't wanna add more pain I know we just being so lame Giving no one else more blame But we got different goals And we got different views So we just grew apart Hope you know i miss you Hope you know Such a lonely day The most loneliest day of my life Such a lonely day The most loneliest day of my life

I'm gone, don't get it twisted Too long I was addicted To chasing you down and shining your crown Caught you playing the system You lied now you're the victim And here you are, begging for more I see through your agenda Lonely, so you pretend that You don't wanna be on your own Ruling on your golden throne We tried 'til you decided Gunfire, left me divided You don't wanna be on your own Ruling on your golden throne Golden throne Your power is an illusion You thrive on the confusion But I've got my sight You're no white knight I see through your agenda Lonely, so you pretend that You don't wanna be on your own Ruling on your golden throne We tried 'til you decided Gunfire, left me divided You don't wanna be on your own Ruling on your golden throne Golden throne Golden throne Golden throne Golden throne
