Say Goodbye to Yesterday

Lyrics

[Intro: Sabac Red] Yo, 365 days a year We preoccupy self to find life's true meaning We indulge irrelevant contradiction Contradiction which steps up growth Live life each day like it could be your last, yo [Verse 1: Sabac Red] I'm from a place where some mothers sell they babies for crack Where young cats buy gats, shoot, and never look back Where the whites sit with the whites and the blacks sit with the blacks, but somehow we unite through the culture of rap I'm from Brooklyn, word to the Dodgers, Russian massages Where thugs bust guns and sons are raised without they fathers We do away with has-beens, rock the latest fashion The rule's never rat, what you want to know or who's asking? Just some habits of highly effective MCs Y'all is pussy rap, my speech made you weak in the knees But talk's cheap, I'm straight from the streets I'm action-oriented when I'm screamin', "Kill corrupt police!" I read books, reap intelligence to compromise my bad looks I roam with godbodies and crooks But when I rest my head at night, I'm just happy that I made it 'Cause someone could take your life, be it my friends or my neighbors [Pre-Chorus: Sabac Red] Whether you police or a thug on the streets Whether you look for beef or you living in peace Whether you back down or you stand strong bold Yo, we never know what tomorrow gon' hold [Chorus: Cenophia Mitchell] We can live today, but we're not promised tomorrow We can pass away, say goodbye to yesterday We can live today, but we're not promised tomorrow We can pass away, say goodbye to yesterday [Verse 2: Goretex] It's either me or you in this world 'cause I be tryin' to cope I'm lookin' for answers, but still, I'm comin' up broke They supply the fed tops, smack, the guns and the coke Who shot Lennon and Malcolm X, one in his throat I'm an old soul at home but probably young as the Pope Reincarnated as a prophet through a symbol of hope I move through the projects, lights, rhythm and smoke Idiom quotes, somebody said religion's a joke Buried my man at 18, the cancer took him in months He died before he lived, but once gone I felt touched My old earth followed in '91, six months apart Project stress, blackouts, and walks in the park People change 'cause when I look back I feel strange Goin' through old flicks, our days numbered, turning the page I can't go back, we learn to live with hate and respect A tale from the heart prevail through the pain of regret [Pre-Chorus: Sabac Red] Whether you police or a thug on the streets Whether you look for beef or you livin' in peace Whether you back down or you stand strong bold Yo, we never know what tomorrow gon' hold [Chorus: Cenophia Mitchell] We can live today, but we're not promised tomorrow We can pass away, say goodbye to yesterday We can live today, but we're not promised tomorrow We can pass away, say goodbye to yesterday
