Yesterday
Chorus:
This is what my homeboy
Had to say
The only thing promised today
Is yesterday
When he tell you that
He told me yesterday
Well where that nigga at
He died yesterday
V1:
For that reason Imma hustle
Like the fucking world end
Like my next is decision
Is the last one for him
Him that be I
Yes I is my bestfriend
So Im not doing this for self
But for both of them
I know tomorrow aint promised
So Im giving all
What if tomorrow come?
I got investments yall
And if it don’t come?
Im blowing major pay
Frank Lucas talk
At least a mil a day
Im doing this shit
In the spirit of my dead homie
But not just for him
But for my family
So get money
No I cant take it wit me
But I leave it all behind
So they not corrupted stressing
Over a dollar sign
Beautiful hustle
Combat an such an ugly struggle
A mil in the bank is the best way
To say I love you
The only thing better
Then that
Is another mil
Now you understand
Why Im chasing a dollar bill
Chorus: (2x)
This is what my homeboy
Had to say
The only thing promised today
Is yesterday
When he tell you that
He told me yesterday
Well where that nigga at
He died yesterday
V2:
He said
Crack game
Rap game
Nigga no difference
You gotta hustle same way
If you wanna win with this
On your first come up
Put it all to re-up
On your second come cup
Put half for re-up
¼ of G’s up
But that last fourth tho
Take it out and blow it
Show them big boys
That you getting doe
Now they see you getting money
Then they gone fuck with you
But once you go major
The haters gone talk to you
I said big bro I get it
Now I understand
Tmrw aint promised
He said you lost fam
Cuz whats not promised
Is today
So you gotta hustle
Fast enough to catch yesterday
So I’m in the lab
Cooking up musical crack rock
Then throw it in a bag
Meaning wrapping it in plastic
Then I set up shop
a.k.a. set up show
Then I post up on block
Meaning hit the stage bro
Now I’m serving
Chorus: (2x)
This is what my homeboy
Had to say
The only thing promised today
Is yesterday
When he tell you that
He told me yesterday
Well where that nigga at
He died yesterday
V3: (2x)
He told me that
So I don’t have to do the streets
I tell you this
So you don’t have to do the streets
Just know the rules in this game
Just like the streets
Except niggas die faster
In the streets
Chorus: (2x)
This is what my homeboy
Had to say
The only thing promised today
Is yesterday
When he tell you that
He told me yesterday
Well where that nigga at
He died yesterday
