Jay Wonder - Yesterday
UhI miss the days when we would celebrate
Wit' yellow cake; nowadays, some niggas sellin' weight
Just to get by
And niggas smoke weed to keep their head high
I tried to slow it down, but life sped by
Log into Facebook
Some childhood friends got happy families
Some lack a garden; hard to plant a seed
Others sharin' memes; deep inside, "how can it be?"
Some turned to killers; others livin' in the air wit' Jesus
An anomie just wishin' we could trade places
I think of dyin' on a day-to-day basis
Made mistakes and I can't change it; afraid to face it
Maybe the struggle my safe haven; it's all I know
My dog is goin' through an existential crisis
Feel cursed and worthless, purpose searchin'; detrimental minded
I could dig it; I'm afflicted, divided, different
Bind, imprisoned, mind convicted, and nihilistic
Behind, conflicted, time constricted; why persist it, bro?
Confined to all these wild conditions, yo
Rewind; beginning, I just wish it'd go
To kid again, naive and simple flow
Given my trials and wisdom, though
Yondo, but it sound like 9th Wonder on it
Had I left it to you, then you might mumble on it
I speak clear; Jay Wonder wit' dope vocals
The sample sound like Shang sung it; so soulful, nigga
Yondo, thank you, my nigga
I needed something like this to get these thoughts off
Sometimes, I be feelin' like
The beat is the only one I could talk to
Yeah
Uh
The information superhighway
Been takin' tolls on me and the road lonely
Had to deactivate IG, deactivate my Twitter
Too much negativity and hate from niggas
Fake shit, women, statin' of illiterate opinions
To gain attention, but it's hard to turn away or miss it
You see things and get depressed by how you weigh against it
Wastin' minutes; vacant livin' wit' un-wavered wishin'
I just wanted someone to care for me
I looked around and no one there for me
You get attached to things and hope it grow witchu
But, in this world, everything is so disposable
Now, I'm jaded; where the feelin's at?
Been searchin' for somethin' new to gimme that old feelin' back
Far removed from when I'd wanna make my mom proud
Accepted the fact that I let my mom down
Tell my youngins: to get it, you gotta fight fear
'Fore them brothers made the plane, they was right here
To see the shine, it take a light-year
Plight veer
Sleep long enough and see your dreams turn to nightmares
I wasn't made for this generation
From couch to couch like I'm redecoratin'
Never changin'; it make me wonder my destination
Maybe I'll find better days in commemoration
Wish that I was more dedicated
Wish that I was a different me
Yeah
