Kevin Jeffrey - Day by Day

I don't have it all figured out
I've been taking it day by day
I tell myself get out the way
I'm gonna let You handle it
Somehow You been working it out
Even when I'm letting You down
All I feel is love all around
Really that's a miracle
Calimesa in the hills had me feeling like it was all bad
Years spent trying to elevate, a lot of y'all cannot relate
A lot of y'all yelling started from the bottom ain't really started that low
Thank God for the struggle, places that I've been before
How did I keep focus when success was looking unlikely
How did I hold my head when y'all was looking down on me
All I had was Mom
All I had was a strong family
Even in those tough times, love still was surrounding me
Young brother, no umbrella, it was thundering like the tundra
Fighting for survival, working like a slave, feeling like a blunderer
Feeling like I was really lost in the world looking for direction
But you can't trust those thoughts, you can't trust depression
Yea, how I made it to the other side
Leave it up to me, I really would've died
Faith is hard to destroy
Count it all joy, count it all joy
I don't have it all figured out
I've been taking it day by day
I tell myself get out the way
I'm gonna let You handle it
Somehow You been working it out
Even when I'm letting you down
All I feel is love all around
Really that's a miracle
Whole time when I rhyme it's just young Kev, trying to find a little rest
Close my eyes when I look to the right and the left, all that I see, stress
Take your pic in peace my g, say less, all of that cap, flex
Don't really care about the next, hit, all that I need is the Chex Mix
A lot of people talking like they found themselves a pot of gold
Kevin Jeffrey rapping, finally he back in album mode
I don't have it figured out, sometimes I still do let you down
Still you got my back like chiropract' and always stick around
Every time I wake up I just pray up and move heaven bound
Life is such a miracle especially when making sounds
Love is like a lost and found, I love how, everybody acting like they wear the crown but bowing down
Your celebrity is not impressing me, man
You got 2 degrees just to flex the same thing
It means all the same in the end
Count it all joy, you ain't gotta pretend
You mean everything to me
I give everything to You
There is nothing I do for it
So I'm counting it all joy
Everyday You wake me up
Giving me the breath I breathe
And You love me as myself
That's a miracle to me
Young Milo, for real
How do you say goodbye to someone that you ain't say goodbye to
I probably fell asleep the last time that I was beside you
I think you had woken up, I told you please go back to bed
I didn't say goodnight, I'm living still with that regret
I recall the first time that we had got you from the pound
You was scared as hell and didn't even make a sound
It was like two months before we even heard you bark
Somehow we connected, that first walk in Crandon Park
This ain't even have to rhyme, I'm talking to myself
I just wish mom would've let me send you home myself
Hardest part about it was not being mad at her
She needed me the same way that I needed you, it's love forever
Can't really hold these tears in much longer, I think I'll cry forever
Hopefully I'll see you again so we can take that walk together
Hopefully all dogs do go to heaven, I mean
Moses probably had a Milo by his side while leaving Egypt land
I sometimes feel alone like don't nobody understand
And yes I've heard the parable about footprints in the sand
This just really hurts, I'm mad I don't curse in my verses
A lot of expletives I've said, I just keep them in my head
Hard to put those thoughts to bed
Hard to tuck them in at night
I sometimes curse aloud just to talk to God in spite
He's strong enough to take it and I'm real enough to not just fake it
No, it's not ideal, but yes it's just that real
Call collect and He'll accept just tell Him how you feel
Call collect and He'll accept, His blood had paid the bill
Call collect when you feel like your phone is out of service
Pain is something that I feel has taught me how to worship
Loss is something that I feel has showed me who I am
Losing you has helped to turn young KJ to a man
Everything is everything, one day I'll understand
Always stay beside me, see your footprints in the sand, dawg
Count it all
