Lyrics

Yester-now
Yester-now saying yes to now
One hundred and forty-four thousand faces crossing now
The amazing and gracious trumps
And thumping cadence of Takbir's
Ah yes, Hallelujah, Amens, and Ya mean
Yes, tremolo, treble solos like hungry vagrants
Praying in patience asking where the bass went
What we heard ain't it
But it ain't never left the pages
Right here and now the same script and thou and amid
Nameless ghetto town angels
One thousand styles coming
Two thousand years and brought miles
Running and raising a bitches elixir
Roo-roo of true ****
Naw, who blew enigmas from the ancient ways back when
To oh, now, ten
Freedome style sequence with Amistad legions
And Bedford-Stuyvesant sure-shot vibrant
Poor right we us street teachers
Yester-now saying yes to times blessing
Hush now, death dancing next to us
Gentle in the wrong tempo child
Don't forget that evening when spray can secrets
Brought heat and the fire next
Now with ten million pieces of fresh morning sweetness
Rhythm and vision to that concrete bleakness
Making favorite things swing from a train riff
Where grandmasters cut tracks up on flashed up
Wheels of steely danger from project hangers
And seven sealed project mangers
Yester-now is the war torn ranger
Stepping up in this piece no more a stranger
Excuse me sir, ID please
No, must I perpetually learn you every time I return
Who am I? And I and I and I
Me? I don't need no ID my mellow my man I am eternal
