Yesterday |
| One, one, one |
| Peace peace peace |
| Ay, yeah we come in peace peace peace |
| From the west to the east |
| North to the south |
| In the belly of the beast |
| One, one, one, one |
| Two, two |
| Feels like |
| (It was only yesterday) |
| That we sit and watch the sky turning heather grey |
| Black and white watching money leading men astray |
| Falling in and out of light as the heavens spray |
| We mix the whiskey with the lemonade |
| Tryna count the rap that left for |
| Used to laugh when I said it made my belly ache |
| My belly ached everyday, yo it never changed |
| I wasn’t ready for the grave |
| But I was ready to be paid |
| Trust I know we’re never getting saved |
| Twenty four, mixed race |
| Living twelve years a slave |
| (It was only yesterday) |
| My grandfather getting knuckled by the pepper spray |
| More fire brings the riot like a renegade |
| Seeing if setting fire to the rain as the letters fade |
| No doubt I was raised out the south |
| Tell your ex boyfriend to keep my name out his mouth |
| I been in and out, to drag the pain out the house |
| Being brave something proud say my name I’m about |
| There comes a time |
| In everyone’s life |
| When you have to fall in love |
| Once or twice |
| It never really feels like |
| (It was only yesterday) |
| Back when I thought I’d never touch the motherland |
| Because my skin’s a different colour to them other man |
| But still they’re calling me the coloured man |
| So you can find me in the straight peanut butter jam |
| Sticky, make a finger snap like a rubber band |
| We expand like a grand in another hand |
| Melts like butter in the pan as the others ran |
| Damn, but me I stuck around, no doubt pull the finger out |
| Flabber in the ground |
| Down south know what I’m about just another clown |
| Red snout running in the mouth of another town |
| Drown, drown |
| (It was only yesterday) |
| When everyone was in the same place |
| And we were stuck up in that same race |
| Same face listening to beats with the same taste, waste |
| But now my beats come from LA |
| Californ-king of the streets kick it like Pele |
| You see that dip in the ground its bad soil |
| It’s LC and Madlib, it’s mad loyal |
| There comes a time |
| In everyone’s life |
| (It's mad loyal) |
| When you have to fall in love |
| Once or twice |
| Cool |
