Yesterday

Yeah Philly corners in the summer, water plug turnt up Anybody walk by, everybody wet up Sis just got her hair done nice, don't wanna test her Heard she knocked a young bull out that disrespect her Ah-ah, block parties turn to house parties 'Cause when it's dark, that's when –s get to actin' funny And then the neighbors call the cops 'cause we was too noisy But they was just outside actin' cool with us And we live careless, not a bill to pay in a world we call our own Oh, it was all so simple, where'd the time go? Like when I look back at it Feels like it was only yesterday And life was so easy yesterday If I had a chance to do it again I'd do it the same, the joy and the pain The coldest of winters, the summer time rain No, I wouldn't change none of my yesterdays I remember when I was young and irresponsible Tried to do the things haters said would be impossible But I wanted more so fatefully I chased it blindly Wanted to soar so I let go the pain behind me (hey) Could never afford shit, now I'm livin' gorgeous and my family supportin', oh I know what's important, live life to the fullest Stay on point like a bullet (hey-hey) And we live careless, not a bill to pay in a world we call our own Oh, it was all so simple, where'd the time go? Like when I look back at it Feels like it was only yesterday And life was so easy yesterday If I had a chance to do it again I'd do it the same, the joy and the pain The coldest of winters, the summer time rain No, I wouldn't change none of my yesterdays Yesterday's gone and tomorrow's not promised And now I see that livin' for the here and now The future looks more clearer now It's good to reminisce When I think back on when we played freeze tag and jump rope Them old folks would smoke then get big mad Talking 'bout we talkin' back, serious as a heart attack But we ain't want none of that Feels like it was only yesterday And life was so easy yesterday If I had a chance to do it again I'd do it the same, the joy and the pain The coldest of winters, the summer time rain No, I wouldn't change none of my yesterdays
