Murs - Yesterday lyrics

(Yesterday I) (And Today I'm) (Yesterday I) (And Today I'm) [Murs] I ain't, I ain't, I ain't getting out of bed today 9 to 5 to survive, theres gotta be a better way Waking up early to punch in the clock How I look, a grown man with my lunch in a box But my kids need socks and shoes, I'm walking through The office, boss yelling "Who you talkin to?" Dont you know on the streets I woulda- nevermind The past is the past, I gotta leave it behind But man, back on the block I was a bonafide hustler Spot popping off until the police rushed us Handcuffed us, I thought I was gone Coulda cried, thinking I'd miss my son being born But I was blessed, beat the case, now I'm tryna reform But these white folks, make it so hard to move on You gotta, jump through hoops, anger management coups But the fact I'm still standing here today is proof that... [Hook] (Yesterday I) Felt the most hated I thought I couldn't take it, they said I couldn't make it (And today I'm) Feelin' brand new I got nothin' to lose, I'm bout to make moves (Yesterday I) Felt the most hated I thought I couldn't take it, I fought until I made it (And today I'm) Feelin' brand new I got nothin' to lose, get out my way move [Murs] On to the next, it was all about s** When I first met my little baby girl Anette Shee was standing at the bus stop, s**ing on a lolli-pop Eyes collard green, lean, thicker then a pork chop Stop -- cause I don't eat swine But this girl was so divine that I had to make her mine Called her phone a few times, she thought I was funny Fell for it like a dummy, it was all for the money Gyeah...growing up in the hood You would think Id understand,but I never understood Why she rarely came around, when my dough wasn't good Now you could call it puppy love cause I got dogged out Now on all my note books I got her name crossed out But she lost out, I just lost profit, when she left me in cold Heart broke like like my pockets and... [Hook] [Murs] You know them days you just got the blues All stressed and depressed from just watchin the news No matter what good you do it seems you always get screwed Got you caught up in your feelings now you off in the mood Shake that attitude and do what you can Set a couple goals follow through with your plans Time waits for no man and tomorrows not promised So if shes still alive shoot a call to your momma Cause the fighting and the drama, its just not worth it Nobodys perfect, ain't none of us worthless We all got a place, and we all got a purpose Now I'm not taking y'all to Sunday service But ya clap your hands as you stand up and work it Like your grandmama used to do that fan down at worship Spread it, pop it, and wave it in my face Put your hands around your waist, let me ride to the ba** like... [Hook]
