Golden Days
[Verse 1: Kem]
Sugar, won’t you find yourself a dream
Go down in history
Maybe we’d be set for life
Up in the mornin' feelin' fine

[Refrain: Kem]
Hey-bay-day, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ding, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Verse 2: Kem]
Tell daddy what you want yourself to be
And have a taste of victory
Sugar, wake up to the light
And you’ll make it through the night

[Refrain: Kem]
Ayy, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Verse 3: Kem]
You gotta have a way out
When everyone’s breakin' down
So sugar, won’t you find yourself a groove, mama
Ride it to the moon
[Refrain: Kem]
Hey-bay-day, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ding, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Verse 4: Kem]
You’ll never find a way to stop the truth
You gotta face you, girl
Quit livin' like a bandit on the run, mama
Flower in the sun

[Refrain: Kem]
Ayy, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Chorus: Kem]
You will find (Haze) in your heart (Haze)
Golden days (Haze)
A love that reigns (Haze) from the stars (Haze)
Golden days (Haze)

[Verse 5: Kem]
You’ll never wanna waste it, girl
The thrill of it, taste it, girl
In order to define yourself for once
Sugar, fall into the love
[Refrain: Kem]
Hey-bay-day, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ding, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Verse 6: Kem]
It’s all up in your face, girl
It’s a whole 'nother place, girl
You’re nothin' but a diamond in the rough
Another day has just begun

[Refrain: Kem]
Ayy, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Verse 7: Kem]
No matter what you came to get
Nothin' but love and happiness
Is gonna find you open up
And believe in somethin' good

[Refrain: Kem]
Hey-bay-day, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ding, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada
[Verse 8: Kem]
Quit trippin', sugar, push has come to shove
Mama faith is strong enough
I'm movin' mountains
Whenever you wanna change your point of view

[Refrain: Kem]
Hey-bay-day, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ding, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-down, doo, ayy-goo-bada
Ba-bing, doo, ayy-goo-bada

[Chorus: Kem]
You will find (Haze) in your heart (Haze)
Golden days (Haze)
A love that reigns (Haze) from the stars (Haze)
Golden days (Haze)

[Interlude: Jill Scott]
What exactly, my dear, are you clingin' to?
Some propaganda stating you’re going as far as you’re going to?
That your skies are finite and limited?
That your growth is an impossible dream?
That your future is inhibited, oh please
They have been shoveling them lies since the '50s
Can’t nobody decide what your life can move through
This is your time and your challenge
What is it that you want to do?
Sit and be still and not shine the way your light was meant to?
Oh, I pray that ain’t true, I pray that ain’t true
Oh please, don’t fall into the abyss 'cause something negative once ruled you
Please, understand I’m from where you are and I got to fight my demons too
Please, don’t give up 'cause somebody broke your heart and some things fell through
This is life, you owe it, life does not owe you, okay?
An obstacle is a thing that impedes or blocks one’s way
You can climb over, you can dig under
You can chip through it, you can go around it
You can move it, you can ignore it
But you can do it
You, can, do, it

[Chorus: Kem]
You will find (Haze) in your heart (Haze)
Golden days (Haze)
A love that reigns (Haze) from the stars (Haze)
Golden days, hey, girl (Haze)
You’re gonna find (Haze) in your heart (Haze)
Golden days (Haze)
A love that reigns from the stars (Haze)
Golden days, hey, girl (Haze)

[Outro]
You’ll find, babe, your heart, babe
Your love, girl
Golden days, golden nights
Golden things
Your love, will rain
Love will rain from the stars day and night, girl
Golden days, golden nights
Golden things, hey
