[PSK-13, UGK - Like Yesterday lyrics]
We used to ride Cadillacs with
The roof pushed back
Open up my do' while paper
Moves we catch a contact
Livin' our life wrong
Nigga wasn't s'posed to live long
These bitches strong or be gone it
Wasn't for these rap songs
We used to sell dope, cos time don't hold up
How the fuck you gon' eat if you
Ain't got shit to fold up?
Better keep my mind on Donny Young
Doin' 40 for cheddar
We smoke the skunk and poppin' that
Trunk to make us feel better
My paint done got much wetter
Than it was in '92
Bought Mama a Benz for Christmas
Doin' shit you boys tryin' to do
And even though we got fame
We love to grip the grain
Even though these hoes say that I change
Hey bitch I'm still the same
Dealin' with tha same thangs
Just in a new game ain't touch no 'caine
Tryna have shit like Little James
It's dedicated to the trill niggas
That passed the way
Stayin' high, tryin'a hold on to yesterday
I never thought that there would
Ever be a time when a man will wanna kill
Another man behind a rhyme
I never thought that I would ever live to see
Another man try to come and take
My life away from me
I never thought that I would
Ever have to deal
With the fact that to protect my
Life somebody might get killed
But I'll survive and I know
I'm blessed to say
I realise that tomorrow won't
Be like yesterday
I remember this like yesterday
Saturday nine o'clock, uh
Electric Company backed up
By Schoolhouse Rock, shit
Didn't have no bills then
But now I got bills
Seems like I'm only a bill
And livin' only for skrill
I was only 13, mannish
Used to run through some chicks
Used to catch the bus to the
Majestic and watch Kung Fu flicks
Little league basketball, I'm hoopin', baby
Scorin' all the points
After the game I'm chippin' in with
The twins on the joints, uh
The lanky motherfucker, I'm growin' up fast
My only dream was to somehow
Get a fold of cash, uh
These H-town streets produced this
Game of mine
Forever in a "Fuck you!" frame of mind
I changed with the times
Now these boys come with 'plexes
I'm screamin' 'til my dime, baby, Mo City
Texas i remember this like yesterday
In jheris and braids
Now these boys chopped it down
For newer 20s and blades
As my day goes by
I wish I could close my eyes
And just expose myself to my past
But I suppose I can't change
The path that I chose
Why would I wanna? Everybody knows I
Just tried to do right
And keep it all tight in my bro's eye
Watchin' 5-0s try
And travellin' first class like the pros fly
I'm lookin' 'round corners tryin' to
See where my foes lie
The master of the class like Blowfly
For really I'm so sly
You probably wouldn't buy it
Drugs, I used to ride it, used to hide it
Used to sell it, even tried it, denied it
To the end to my mama
But eventually it came out
Her baby son done turned the game out
Couldn't take the shame out her eyes
All the lies, all the excuses
When your mama's cryin' it's all useless
Boy you ain't ruthless
You're just your mama's baby
Who hopin' and prayin' that maybe
Things could be like yesterday
The roof pushed back
Open up my do' while paper
Moves we catch a contact
Livin' our life wrong
Nigga wasn't s'posed to live long
These bitches strong or be gone it
