Dreaming Of Yesterday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yesterday I was unsure If tomorrow was an option, my obscure past Had me feeling like I'm walking 'round in a mask Depressed, even living was a hard task Product of my environment Succumbing to stereotypes, flirting with early retirement Ambition was a mission that was [?] Broken dreams, shattered promises, reminiscing of Simpler times, writing rhymes under sunshine Only battles we had were through punchlines Now the world's at war, everyday we at odds A wise homeless man told me were gods, uhh I don't know with these permanent flaws When the curtains close, are we worth the applause? Nobody's perfect, I get that But the future's at risk, we gotta fix that For real [Chorus] Wish God replied when I pray Why the skies gotta be so gray? Tomorrow's promises are fake So I've been dreaming of yesterday Yesterday Yesterday Yesterday I've been dreaming of yesterday [Verse 2] Yesterday I thought about Everybody that I hurt so I sought 'em out in my dreams I just had to apologize I'm not good with goodbyes Never meant to break your heart all those times Please understand I had plans in mind I hope you find [?] you're searching for Was it everything you work for? I hope it was Man, please forgive my sins Everyday's feeling like the beginning of end Lost friends, I'm attempting to make an amends Real world is a challenge, [?] pretend, man Sometimes, I wish that I could go back Before social media, before I wrote raps Where life was a little easier Before I became aware that the world's not fair Man [Chorus] Wish God replied when I pray Why the skies gotta be so gray? Tomorrow's promises are fake So I've been dreaming of yesterday Yesterday Yesterday Yesterday I've been dreaming of yesterday I'm dreaming of yesterday Said I'm dreaming of yesterday I'm dreaming of yesterday Wish God replied when I pray Why the skies gotta be so gray? Tomorrow's promises are fake So I've been dreaming of yesterday Yesterday Yesterday Yesterday I've been dreaming of yesterday Wish God replied when I pray Why the skies gotta be so gray? Tomorrow's promises are fake So I've been dreaming of yesterday Yesterday Yesterday Yesterday I've been dreaming of yesterday [Verse 3] But today is the present, I'ma treat it as such By sharing my gift, no riftin' [?] Another one biting the dust when I'm ripping it up Hitting the clutch I'm taking my shot before the clock stops Old school like collecting box tops or hopscotch You're rapping like your mouth's full of Pop Rocks This abstract flow you callin' a flashback No cash app, direct deposit in these jazz raps Go stash that up in your memory bank That's a million dollars, baby, no Hillary Swank No deal for me, thanks, my soul ain't for sale American dream a fantasy, my dawgs still chasing the tale No fables on my trail I will prevail on a mass scale, spiritual Braille It's a feeling beyond the veil Bringing sight to the mentally blind where they relying We were meant to be kings, shine from the depths of your mind 9-1-9 to the 3-3-4, I'm bringing it home Back in my zone, healing through tones of songs All humans been long gone Yeah, skies are my home Paint The Sky Blew Gone
