Yesterday's News |
One, I’ve been here for a period of time |
So long that my brain has gone delirious inside |
I think back on all the years that I’ve survived |
Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes |
But now I’m yesterday’s news |
And I’m tomorrow’s promise |
I’ve got my mince pies open wide |
Trying to visualize devils in disguise |
Devz I’m like Picasso |
'Cause I’ve been through every shade of blue |
I’m walking under rainy skies but the flame never died |
It stayed alive 'cause I was made to ignite |
Like dynamite I’m from the cold November night |
I’m riding tight, notice flows slip and slide |
Like a tire in the snow 'cause there ain’t no grip on ice |
I’m cold in the Moscow and it’s minus 29 |
So welcome to my life, I’ve cleverly designed minds |
Lost souls just trying to live the higher life |
I’ve been here so long |
Through the sadness and the blues |
But it’s funny how I’m still here |
With the government and yesterday’s news |
I’ve been here so long |
Through the sadness and the blues |
But it’s funny how I’m still here |
With the government and yesterday’s news |
Devlin, I’m dangerous, I’m dead guys |
And every week forgotten like yesterday’s headlines |
I’ve been through the blues just like Elvis’s best time |
But I ain’t wearing suede shoes, I’ve just got the best rhymes |
I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times |
But I’ll still rise like I’m the day walker Wesley Snipes |
So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry |
When I witness blood seeking through his veins |
This has become apparent |
I’ve got a talent that these other rappers haven’t |
So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains |
I’m not sure what you think of other artists |
But if we’re talkin' about bars |
You can’t speak to me the same |
So cut the conversation 'cause I’ve been lower rating |
Taking anything I’m pleasing taking off the aviation |
To a better place in time |
Better for leaving this place behind |
I’ve been here so long |
Through the sadness and the blues |
But it’s funny how I’m still here |
With the government and yesterday’s news |
I’ve been here so long |
Through the sadness and the blues |
But it’s funny how I’m still here |
With the government and yesterday’s news |
I can’t see no reason why I can’t retain success |
I just need a real good time away from all this stress |
I can’t see no reason why I can’t retain success |
I just need a real good time away from all this stress |
I’ve been here so long |
Through the sadness and the blues |
But it’s funny how I’m still here |
With the government and yesterday’s news |
I’ve been here so long |
Through the sadness and the blues |
But it’s funny how I’m still here |
With the government and yesterday’s news |
