Yesterday

[Intro] "Speak up for them Your friends, your relatives, your neighbors It's a good idea to speak up for them And it's always good to thank God" [Hook 2x] I miss you like yesterday I miss you like yesterday Yeah, I know it sound cliché And they tell me just to pray, but I miss you like yesterday [Verse 1] Early morning, whipping up breakfast So unexpected, I'm barely yawning Iron my school clothes, food up on the stove Biscuits was hella fluffy, "Grandma, I need two of those" You whisper wait for my brother, Papa do what you say 'Fore a crumb could hit my tongue, tell me to pray Scrape my plate, wash the dish Be prepared for the world and be thankful of the time that I get To be young on the run Don't be eager to be grown, have some fun You'll look back when you turn 21 Like "My, time flies" Wishing you were you here by my side [Hook 2x] [Verse 2] Like an autumn breeze, knocking all the pecans out the trees Baking your fruitcakes for Christmas Eve The smell of sweet potato pie make it hard to leave Sit and reminisce, out the grab bag, everybody got a gift Just be thankful for the the thought, don't be giving lip We laugh and cry You knew you couldn't save the world, but you had to try I been doing the same Just so you know, your lectures ain't going in vain Accepted that you're gone but I deal with the pain Weather the rain, just know I won't be the same [Hook 2x]
