Nite and Day by Bubba (2024)

Okay
If you shed blood with me to this point, you deserve an explanation
For all the hell you've endured, while helping me reach my destination
And this effort to bless the nation
I've might had did more harm than good
But I've always showed you heart, this is just my but apart from would
Man I love the darkest hood
But also the brightest suburb

To think I would just despise the folks because I'm broke and white it's absurd
I'm told be tight you get heard, but I don't hear my vinyl spinning
Yeah we found some distribution, but bet the crying is just beginning
'Cause these bright nights, could lead to dark days and vice versa
Even if Greg Street don't play, I guarantee you a nice purchase
Frankly, I'm quite certain I'm the livest f*cker out there
I'm making love to the truth, inside that vocal booth without care
I won't even talk about stares
From angry illogical rappers
'Cause every time they get confronted, they'll give you head than dap ya
This one don't really need a hook, but Shannon said it'll be a single
So I devote this to my life, so much more than a catch of a jiggle

[Chorus]
Dark days, bright nights
For that outside in the night, you know what Bubba's life is like
Bright nights, dark days
For them broads that truly love me and hate to see me live this way
Dark days, bright nights
For when they say you can't live, f*ck 'em, do it just out of spite
Bright nights, dark days
For every person without a voice that got something they need to say

See it's imperative that you know, there's a lot of folks that love Bubba
Not 'cause of any rap I wrote, they see something above gutter
Though, my pockets don't reflect that
It's my vision, and they respect that
Love comes in a form of a various drug, and I can't neglect that
So me and my folks get f*cked up like six nights out of seven
That's the bright light of our lives
Like God's shinning light right out of Heaven
But at the conclusion of every session
I wish that Dark Day to expose
The plight of my situation, no blow, no dough for big shows
But still they see we this close from seeing the promise land
So that leads to another bright night, when all of us is college grads
Being loved by the moms and dads
Which some of us wasn't blessed with
You think we all born with two lovin' parents and a treasure chest
sh*t, I was fortunate to be loved, by my paternal units
I'm gonna make their son a winner, f*ck how bad it'll hurt I'm doing it
Even if I was to ruin it
Never with me and my heart part ways
We developed too strong of a bond, turning bright nights into dark days

[Chorus]

Yeah it's true, I also do get praise from the other side of the tracks
You know, that dark days part of town, when they intentionally hide the blacks
Ain't got no reply to that, I said I'm sorry if I'm to blame
I tried like hell to sooth your soul by planting the facts inside your brain
I never once lied to the game, the acceptance of not one black dude
It's just Bubba that country f*cker smoking sages and eating snack foods
Now every time they ask you, why you live the way you choose to
Say 'cause Bubba set you right, the only one they loved, knew you
That leaves you with no excuse to settle with what they offer
He try to pay you the slave wagers, play that role, and tell 'em nah, sir
I'll probably won't even fault you dismiss me as the demon
It is true, I am not you, my skin's the tone of piss and sem*n
But if we fight this evening, I assure you, we'll both bleed red
And it'll take your whole slum and all your guns to leave me dead
Plus all that blood we shed what do nothin' but server their purpose
So let's unite these bright nights and dark days, then see who nervous

[Chorus]

If you shed blood with me to this point, you deserve an explanation
If you have stuck with me through thick and thin, you deserve to know what I'm all about

For all the hell you've endured, while helping me reach my destination
I appreciate all the hardships you've gone through to help me get where I am

And this effort to bless the nation
I hope that my work will have a positive impact on the country

I've might had did more harm than good
I acknowledge that my actions may have done more harm than good

But I've always showed you heart, this is just my but apart from would
Despite my mistakes, I have always been true to myself and my beliefs

Man I love the darkest hood
I have a deep appreciation for the rougher neighborhoods in which I grew up

But also the brightest suburb
I have respect for the nicer areas as well

To think I would just despise the folks because I'm broke and white it's absurd
It's ridiculous to assume that just because I am a poor white person, I would hate people from wealthier backgrounds

I'm told be tight you get heard, but I don't hear my vinyl spinning
Despite being told that success comes from being popular, I haven't seen it in my own career

Yeah we found some distribution, but bet the crying is just beginning
While we may have found some success, it will come with its own set of problems and difficulties

'Cause these bright nights, could lead to dark days and vice versa
Success can lead to its own problems and failures, just as failures can lead to eventual success

Even if Greg Street don't play, I guarantee you a nice purchase
Even if a popular DJ doesn't play my music, I am confident that people will still buy it

Frankly, I'm quite certain I'm the livest f*cker out there
I believe that I am one of the most talented and energetic performers around

I'm making love to the truth, inside that vocal booth without care
When I'm in the recording studio, I am completely focused on being authentic and honest

I won't even talk about stares
I won't even bother with addressing the negative looks I get from other rappers

From angry illogical rappers
I won't dignify the negativity of other rappers by engaging with them

'Cause every time they get confronted, they'll give you head than dap ya
Whenever people like this are challenged, they become hostile and aggressive instead of having a constructive conversation

This one don't really need a hook, but Shannon said it'll be a single
This song doesn't necessarily need a catchy chorus, but my producer thinks it has potential as a hit single

So I devote this to my life, so much more than a catch of a jiggle
This song is about my experiences in life and is more than just a catchy tune

For that outside in the night, you know what Bubba's life is like
For those who are unfamiliar with my life, this song gives you a glimpse into my world

Bright nights, dark days
Life can be full of both good and bad times

For them broads that truly love me and hate to see me live this way
This song is also for the women who care about me and don't want to see me struggle

For when they say you can't live, f*ck 'em, do it just out of spite
When people tell you that you can't succeed, use that as motivation to prove them wrong

For every person without a voice that got something they need to say
This song is also for the people who feel like they don't have a voice and need to be heard

See it's imperative that you know, there's a lot of folks that love Bubba
It's important to know that there are many people who support me and believe in what I'm doing

Not 'cause of any rap I wrote, they see something above gutter
People support me not just because of my music, but because they believe in me as a person

Though, my pockets don't reflect that
Despite having support, I am still struggling financially

It's my vision, and they respect that
People respect my vision and my goals

Love comes in a form of a various drug, and I can't neglect that
For me, love can come in many forms, and I need to acknowledge and value that love

So me and my folks get f*cked up like six nights out of seven
Me and my friends often party and enjoy ourselves most nights of the week

That's the bright light of our lives
Partying and being together is a significant source of joy and happiness for us

Like God's shinning light right out of Heaven
Our joy and happiness feels like a divine blessing

But at the conclusion of every session
Even though we have fun and party, it all comes to an end eventually

I wish that Dark Day to expose
I often wish that the difficulties and struggles I face would come to light and be acknowledged

The plight of my situation, no blow, no dough for big shows
I struggle to finance my music career and can't afford to put on bigger shows

But still they see we this close from seeing the promise land
Despite our struggles, we are hopeful for eventual success and recognition

So that leads to another bright night, when all of us is college grads
We are hopeful that our future success will allow us to all graduate from college and accomplish our goals

Being loved by the moms and dads
We want to achieve success so that we can make our families proud and earn their love and respect

Which some of us wasn't blessed with
Not all of us were fortunate enough to have loving parents and supportive families

You think we all born with two lovin' parents and a treasure chest
You can't assume that everyone starts off with privilege and wealth, because that's not how life works for many people

sh*t, I was fortunate to be loved, by my paternal units
I am grateful for the love and support I received from my father and other male role models

I'm gonna make their son a winner, f*ck how bad it'll hurt I'm doing it
I am determined to succeed and make my father proud, even if it means facing pain and hardship along the way

Even if I was to ruin it
Even if I make mistakes and fail, I will never stop trying

Never with me and my heart part ways
Even if I fail, I will always stay true to myself and my values

We developed too strong of a bond, turning bright nights into dark days
Me and my friends have bonded through our shared experiences, making our good times even more meaningful and our struggles even more painful

Yeah it's true, I also do get praise from the other side of the tracks
I also receive positive feedback from people in rougher neighborhoods who appreciate my music and my message

You know, that dark days part of town, when they intentionally hide the blacks
I am aware that there are some people who intentionally exclude and discriminate against black people in certain areas

Ain't got no reply to that, I said I'm sorry if I'm to blame
I don't have a response to that accusation, but I am willing to acknowledge if I have contributed to the problem in any way

I tried like hell to sooth your soul by planting the facts inside your brain
I have used my music and my message to try and educate people on important issues and bring about positive change

I never once lied to the game, the acceptance of not one black dude
I have always been honest and true to myself, even though my music is not traditionally associated with black culture

It's just Bubba that country f*cker smoking sages and eating snack foods
Despite being different from other rappers, I still believe in myself and my music

Now every time they ask you, why you live the way you choose to
If people question why you support me and my music, you can tell them the reasons why

Say 'cause Bubba set you right, the only one they loved, knew you
You can tell people that my music has helped you through tough times and made you feel understood and loved

That leaves you with no excuse to settle with what they offer
You shouldn't settle for less than what you deserve, just because others think it's acceptable

He try to pay you the slave wagers, play that role, and tell 'em nah, sir
Don't let anyone exploit you or pay you less than you're worth

I'll probably won't even fault you dismiss me as the demon
Some people might see me as a bad influence or a negative presence, and I understand that

It is true, I am not you, my skin's the tone of piss and sem*n
I am aware that I haven't experienced the same struggles and discrimination as some people of color

But if we fight this evening, I assure you, we'll both bleed red
Despite our differences, we are all human and all bleed the same color

And it'll take your whole slum and all your guns to leave me dead
I am not afraid of violence or intimidation, and won't be easily silenced

Plus all that blood we shed what do nothin' but server their purpose
Violence and conflict only serve to cause harm and damage, and are ultimately pointless

So let's unite these bright nights and dark days, then see who nervous
Let's come together and overcome our struggles, and see who is really afraid of change and progress
