Prince Tae - Yesterday lyrics

Verse 1: When concrete streets meet burgundy streaks// cuz young dreams was breached// cut short before they reach peaks// smeared by fears, salt stained from mothers' tears// how you reach your peers when your words fall on deaf ears?// Too many kids left on d**h's stairs// chasing their last breath as d**h stares// while laying stretched got me vexed// doing my best working out this stress// running mental laps on tracks to exercise my cortex// but find myself in a slight rage trying to find the right ways to illustrate a page// my soul ablaze, world growing colder by the days// still amazed how n***as' energy shift with the climate change// its like the love ain't the same// faces on strain, blood flowing cold in their veins// caught in the game so hammers they bang// with no refrain or restrain// just bullets unnamed when n***as is slain// I woke up early on my born day// twenty two feel anew, came a long way// still on this mission hold tradition like the song say// and never mourn carrying on for Mike Brown, E. Gardner and lil Tray// cuz who's to say just when and where I'm a confront with my day// from enemy spray or ricochet stray never intended my way// but be as it may, hold my head when I pray// hoping that tomorrow bring a brighter day than... Sample Vocals: Yesterday (x2) Chorus: Sing this song for the lost ones// hard to understand love until you lost one// praying hard thanking God that I ain't lost none// if yours gone stay strong this your song son// Verse 2: I recall a early morning leaving the corner store// crossing the street got stopped by this fiend that I had seen before// the same one the paramedics had scooped a week ago// slowly losing his soul, nodding and leaning under a street pole// I had witnessed this very scene a couple of times// already knew what he would say as if I'm reading his mind// he went on, about only having a couple of dimes// and asked if I could spare a dollar for a burger and fries// I looked in his eyes// I knew he was fried// hard to tell if he was being sincere or if he telling me lies// cuz I ain't trying to be the one contributing his highs// barely replied, shook my head and still peeled him a five// this life a motherf**er// and who am I to judge// another brother on how he struggle when we all suffer// threw up a prayer for that man before I walked away// hoping he finds his way, hoping that tomorrow brings a brigher day than.. Sample Vocal: Yesterday (x2) Chanting: This for the lost ones... Sing this song, sing this song for the lost ones. Yea (fade out)
