Naledge - Yesterday lyrics
[Naledge - Yesterday lyrics]
Raised in Chicago where niggas don’t die
On accident they die on purpose
Usually cause they took some money
Or their family’s worthless
Never thought I’d see the day
The gangsters shooting churches
And I don’t mean the chicken
Shack I’m talking bible verses
There used to be some order to this shit
Now we got men shooting
Little kids in Connecticut
I pray for them Holy Bible Ghetto Qur’an
My homies is disciples like Matthew, Mark
Luke and John just a kid from the south side
Tryna to make a buck
Got the Pine-Sol just to clean the Chucks
Still got the Armor All on the Lincoln truck
Still make a stranger blessed when
He sit with us looking at the city
Scared for future generations mass homicide
Prostitution, lack of education
I ain’t talking hotels when I
Say that I got reservations
This ain’t my job description
It’s my resignation
Self-preservation is a must
We smoke ourself to sleep at night
Drinking every time we waking up
Hoping we can make it right
Tryna heal the wrongs that was
Taken from my ancestors
Make our ways tryna kick it like Manchester
Almost 30 with a lot of growing up to do
My son told me that "I see a lot a me in you"
Told him visualise wealth and
Just see it through
Mom told me practise what you preach
What you need to do
I told her "all I really need is you"
These rap fans saying all they
Really need is truth
Niggas still lying to them
My best friend died i’m still rhyming to him
Obstacles arise
I’m still climbing through them
Standing in front of home I’m
Still sliding through them feels so good
Niggas told me that my day gone
Come shoulda came like yesterday
Shoulda came like yesterday
Shoulda came like yesterday
Niggas told me that my day gone
Come shoulda came like yesterday
Shoulda came like yesterday
Shoulda came like yesterday
But today is here
On accident they die on purpose
Usually cause they took some money
Or their family’s worthless
Never thought I’d see the day
The gangsters shooting churches
And I don’t mean the chicken
Shack I’m talking bible verses
There used to be some order to this shit
Now we got men shooting
Little kids in Connecticut
I pray for them Holy Bible Ghetto Qur’an
My homies is disciples like Matthew, Mark
Luke and John just a kid from the south side
Tryna to make a buck
Got the Pine-Sol just to clean the Chucks
Still got the Armor All on the Lincoln truck
Still make a stranger blessed when
He sit with us looking at the city
Scared for future generations mass homicide
Prostitution, lack of education
I ain’t talking hotels when I
Say that I got reservations
This ain’t my job description
It’s my resignation
Self-preservation is a must
We smoke ourself to sleep at night
Drinking every time we waking up
Hoping we can make it right
Tryna heal the wrongs that was

Shoulda came like yesterday

Come shoulda came like yesterday
Shoulda came like yesterday
Shoulda came like yesterday
