| If I only knew then what I know now
|
| shit would be so wild
|
| mind of a man, soul of a child
|
| no clouds could rain on me
|
| no cuts or scrapes could leave blood stains on me
|
| just imagine
|
| how to side step the critics, understand my own limits
|
| embrace the fire when I’m thrown in it
|
| move with supreme confidence, through every team in the conference
|
| reconcile dreams of common sense, dominant
|
| no fears or insecurities, appreciate the impurities
|
| build on that, never second guess it, never neglect the lesson
|
| on every endeavor I bless the session, man
|
| y’all dont know the half of it, trying to make my renditions accurate
|
| hoping I can capture it for y’all, but now it’s like today is my four walls
|
| yesterday…
|
| yesterday is gone…
|
| no time for lookin back…
|
| no time for lookin back…
|
| no time for lookin back… it’s done
|
| yo, put my best foot forward, took two steps, toward the opposite
|
| back and forth with things, saw a lotta shit
|
| and I was under pressure, now I’m on top of it
|
| so now I’m taking all I can get
|
| my getaway hit the fork in the road and took the scenic route |
| 'tween me and you, it brought the phoenix out of me
|
| so partner you can hate me or love me, cause I might have been wrong
|
| but my heart was pure, still, I cant say I dont have regrets
|
| made mistakes I that wont soon forget, expectations I haven’t met
|
| and yet, I wouldn’t trade this moment, pray for atonement
|
| take me for what I am, a romantic but I’m not hopeless
|
| writing my magnum opus, either you’re high pysch, or lose focus
|
| if you let it, some of y’all will never get it, holding on to…
|
| yesterday…
|
| yesterday is gone…
|
| no time for lookin back…
|
| no time for lookin back…
|
| no time for lookin back… it’s done
|
| I guess that you could say we got a history together
|
| so I can never forget her, not bitter
|
| matter of fact sometimes I still hit it
|
| seduced by the way that she call to come hither
|
| but I found out the first time I did her
|
| I’ll never fall in love with her, she gone break your heart
|
| make a mark, leave, and never come back
|
| and its hard to say goodbye to her, nobody knows her like I knew her
|
| see she one of a kind, just a free spirit, embodied by these lyrics |
| to some, she’s not pretty, to me she’s beautiful
|
| cause she made me what I am and taught me to be strong
|
| so even when she’s gone, her memory lives on
|
| and over time eventually we lost contact, despite that
|
| I gotta admit, I’m still attached, but I can’t take her back
|
| cause who I’m talking about is…
|
| yesterday…
|
| yesterday is gone…
|
| no time for lookin back…
|
| no time for lookin back…
|
| no time for lookin back… it’s done |
