A Brighter Day (Feat. Mos Def) - Ronny Jordan, Mos Def, DJ Spinna

Ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Said we’re lookin' for a brighter day

Yo, I speak in whole beat legends

Divide it up in parts and sections

Days I was ministerin' sectors

Direct from the spot, forgotten on your election

Jail laced with fragments, speech clipped with accents

Phenomenal ave and for future and the past tense

Blew up the room in my absence

Live or closed caption watch my song vibrate with passion

The response in action to light bulb irrations

I come from where anything can happen and usually does

You find tension where it used to be love

I use my words to shine light inside the dark valleys

The dark alley, U.K., U.S., New York, Cali

From this king to all counties I out loudly

The clammer?

the chain of things that surround me

And seek bounty or stay stridin' and keep strivin'

I seek guidance, like the sun at the dawn I keep risin'

Like that y’all

Brighter day came my way

Had to decide was I gonna stay

Packed my things and I moved on (move on, move on)

That was the day that it all begun

Yo yo yo nobody knows what tomorrow holds, could be pot of gold

Or a mere pot on top ya stove, still ya got to roll

Climb my obstacles and honor those who paved the harder road

Blazed the trails so a brighter day wasn’t far to go

So many stories aren’t told, so many lights that aren’t shone

Still the world remain ignorant to what the heart should know

My love is audio, transmitted, heard, and felt

My words are mirrors to nearer and observe yourself

To receive (ceive), reflect (reflect), magnify

Let a bright light heal a damaged eye

We hold fort like family ties

Shout the battle cry and what we challenged by

Make the shady stand aside so?

risers can arrive

From native to the natural lives you can’t deny the natural vibe

On a Mayfield natural high, artificials can abide

I love to see my masses rise

The joy to make your banners hot

The stronger people unite the way we lookin' for a brighter day

Brighter day came my way

Had to decide was I gonna stay

I packed my things and I moved on (move on, move on)

That was the day that it all begun (move on)

Begun, brighter day, brighter day

Came away, came away and I flew away, flew away high, so high

I will fly (fly, whoa) fly away, fly away, fly away

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

We are lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

Lookin' for a brighter day

Said I’m lookin' for a brighter day

Ay, ay

A brighter day came my way

Had to decide was I gonna stay

I packed my things and I moved on (move on, move on)

That was the day that it all begun (yeah)

Brighter day came my way

I had to decide was I gonna stay

I packed my things and I moved on

That was the day that it all begun

A brighter day came my way

I had to decide was I gonna stay

I packed my things and I moved on

That was the day that it all begun

A brighter day came my way

I had to decide was I gonna stay

Packed my things and I moved on

That was the day that it all begun

A bright
