DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Fresh Prince - Just One of Those Days lyrics

Have you ever in your life experienced a day
Where nothing at all seems to go your way
No matter how hard you try to
Get out of the rut
You just could not break the
String of bad luck
A day where Murphy's law takes over your life
And you just can't seem to
Do a darn thing right
And when the day was over you just had to say
You said man it's just one of those days

My day started off kind of cool
I brushed my teeth I combed my hair and
I got dressed and went to school
I stopped at the store for a breakfast snack
A Tastykake and orange juice and
A bubble yum pack
About that point I proceeded to class
I spoke to all the pretty girls that I passed
I went to my room which


Was on the first floor
I had no idea what I was in for
I sat in my desk and minded my own business
Someone knocked on the door the
Teacher said who is it
This girl walked in my imagination ran wild
She stole my heart just by
The way that she smiled
I couldn't resist so I grabbed her butt
She said what's wrong with you fool
Are you some kind of nut
The teacher turned around while
My arm was extended
She looked me in the face
And said Prince you're suspended
I said your tripping it's just a bad habit
She put it in my face she
Must've wanted me to grab it
I pleaded my case but she wrote the pink slip
Then I just shook my head I
Said I don't believe this
She sent me to the head
Of the discipline staff
I tried to play it off so I started to laugh
I said ha ha this story is great
It's a big misunderstanding one big mistake
He didn't think that it was
Funny he didn't even smile
He said mmm mmm mmm you're an unlucky child
I stopped laughing and I said why is that
He said just get out my school
And don't you ever come back
I said wait this is my school and
You're telling me to leave it
He handed me my books and said
Yep you'd best believe it
As I walked out the school back
At the wall I did gaze
And said man it's just one of those days

I woke up around a quarter to eight
I wiped the sleep from out my
Eyes and I was feeling great
I flipped my radio on and
To my utter surprise
I thought that it was eight o'clock
But it was half past nine
I hopped up and put my feet on the floor
Ran to the bathroom then I
(ow) hit my foot on the door
The pain was immense as it started to throb
I said to hell with broken toes
I was losing my job
So I combed my hair then I brushed my teeth
Threw on my Fila suit and my Fila sneaks
Threw on my Fila underwear and my fila hat
Then I ran downstairs and kicked the fila cat
I grabbed my jacket then I grabbed my keys
Then I prayed out loud car start please
The car started but what good was that
I couldn't drive it anyway because
The tires were flat
I did the hundred yard dash to
The top of my block
Then I grabbed a dollar bill
From my left sweat sock
The bus pulled up I was
Late and kind of nervous
I got real mad because the
Sign said out of service
I started hiking it I wasn't liking it
I saw a little kid I stole
His bike and started biking it
I thought I got away but when
I ducked around the corner
There was twelve cop cars I said I'm a goner
Slamed on the flat I did 180 turn
Peddled the bike so fast I
Heard the rubble burn
With the cops in hot pursuit I
Started feeling like a jerk
I thought man all of this cause I
Was trying to get to work
I could've got away I almost had 'em shook
Til this girl walked by something
Said not to look but I thought what the heck
A little peek can't hurt
But she made me miss the sign
That said men at work
I screamed out loud as I
Crashed through the baracade
I saw my whole life flash before my face
I felt kind of dizzy all I saw was stars
I put my hands over my eyes
And settled on the handle bars
That was stupid I got off track
Cause about that point everything went black
The next thing I remember is
A head ache nagging
I woke up face down in the
Back of a paddy wagon
I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dead
A big Flinstone lump on the side of my head
They took my picture and my finger prints
I said wait you can't arrest
Me I'm the Fresh Prince
I demand that you release
Me you incompetent fool
You can't arrest me I'm the
Prince you know the rules
You got five seconds 'fore I
Punch out your lights
But then the cop pulled out his
Gun I said ha ha psyche
I had a call so I called my boss
I figured I might as well
What else could be lost
Boss I'm sorry that I couldn't make it today
He said what are you talking about
You're off today is Saturday
Stuck in a cell scared as hell
I'm a hungry kind of tired and
I hate this awful smell
Maybe one day I'll get smart
And change my ways
But for now it's just one of those days

It's just one of those days
