[Lord Jamar] 
Aw yeah back to basics kicking shit in Asics it's like this 

It's just a day in the life (of three black men) (Repeat 3x) 
Day one... 

I wake up to the sun in the morning after justice hour 
Refinement is in order so I bust this shower 
Get dressed but first my mind gets blessed 
Not words but best cess compressed in a philly 
Silly of me to think that I 
Could ever have a morning where the phone didn't ring, I am sir 
A sweet young thing, once a romancer 
I didn't really fancy her, so build equality 
I get a beep downstairs from Y.Z.O. 
Knowledge in his head, beats pump the red Geo 
Tracker, and in it, we get much blacker 
Ride around town running down crackers 
Last Sunday of the month so to Harlem we went 
Not clubbing, the parliaments of Harriet Tubman 
Peace to the Gods, peace to the earths 
Peace to the seeds, peace to the birth 
Of the nation of the 5% 
That's it, I tell the gent brothers to represent 
We left the rally now we're maxing uptown 
8th Ave, 25th, 45th, and the Polo Grounds 
And when it's time to refuel 
Lord Jamar jump in the car, say "Back to the Rule" 
It's like that y'all, you know it's as sharp as a knife 
It's just a day in the life, it's just a day in the life

It's just a day in the life (of three black men) (Repeat 3x) 
Day two, yo check this out 

Every day when I wake up, phone calls seem to take up 
My time, but I don't mind because it's fine 
I don't get heated even though I can't sleep 
Jump in the shower, then I brush the teeth 
Hit the stereo in an instant 
Then I twist up a bud, light an insync 
Call up a honey if I'm not feeling sunny 
Or call up my boys when I want to make noise 
The brother Lord Jamar, the brother Derek X 
Ahem, oh I forgot, I meant "Sadat" 
X and I flex when I'm writing a rhyme 
I got thousands in the bank but I never did a crime 
Afternoons I go shopping, but I don't lift 
Back in '84 I used to wear K-Swiss 
Catch me in Yonkers in the mall buying gear 
Take in a movie and sit in the rear 
I might be in the studio hard at work 
Making hype tracks that sell by the stacks 
When it gets dark, I chill with my cutie 
We almost broke up because she started acting snooty 
When I'm with the fellas, I hit the clubs 
The building, Red Zone, always see a head flown 
But I walk away from the bullshit 
And you don't stop, and you don't quit 

[Sadat X] 
It's just a day in the life (of three black men) (Repeat 3x) 
Day three... 

I wake up after 8, a shower, then I take a shower 
See a tip from last night still left in the tray 
Some stick of boom music cause I found a fat L 
Nine times out of ten I used to start this way 
Then I study jewels and gems instead of Christianity hymns 
Then walk past him to see my man Marco Polo who works in sports stuff 
Your two shirts that's tough, a baldie that's rough 
Call up the Gods, slide to three main places 
We know a lot of faces so the romp game came work 
Do you think that I'm a jerk because on my face there's a smirk? 
Used to party to party rock from body to body 
But my nightly smokes are spent on the cool down low 
Rolling up dough and doing mad shows 
Not dealing with hoes because AIDS is a bitch 
In the nightime I get rich because kids pump the tape 
Uptown Bronx from the porch to the fire escape, and you don't stop 
So to my prehistoric days and dinosaur phase 
I was completely energized using Islamic rays 
I'm the royal highness, so clear your sinus 
Put your trust in the plus and conceal the minus 
Your head's unravelling, my force is of a javelin 
Your tongue is in a knot and you're babbling on 
To the pre test is the God human? 
Come from the darkness to where I'm looming 
The hardest working man, ever I see a land 
I got the power to devour what MC's withstand
