Juss Yesterday

They used to dress me up in suits on sundays when i was small Told me if i didn't behave i'd have to answer to the lord And i thought, shit, if god could see me when i play in church What's he think about my new kicks and ninja turtle shirts 's all i thought about was showing out for girlies in my class Not dressing up in time to catch the bus for early mass On my weekend And how much time did he spend in clip-on ties With slacks that barely reached his thighs when he sat And that's before i even listened to rap Cause pops said, he's sold, he told me that this music was trash And got mad when the kids passed blasting it And looked at me and said i better never catch you rapping shit It's like yesterday that's the day when poetry died Juss yesterday, that's the day i opened my eyes Yesterday seems that all the time They wanna know when i learned to rhyme I tell 'em yesterday Yesterday, before today, i started thinking 'bout tomorrow While i cocked the liquor bottle and drank A lit cigarrete dangling inside my smackers And half a pack inside my jacket while i told my older homie Notions killing faster than smoke We joked about it with a serious tone Cause life's a battle verse, Serius Jones So when death is on the table for discussion It's hard to discuss without bringing up someone's brother, or cousin or Mother Cursed if you're holding rubbers and busting But they scared to wear a condom when they fucking Cause latex is like a dollar or two If they could put 'em on bottles of brew to share with they crew It's like yesterday that's the day when poetry died Juss yesterday, that's the day i opened my eyes Yesterday seems that all the time They wanna know when i learned to rhyme I tell 'em yesterday
