no more livin' that kind of life
See there's no more yesterday,
Gon' pray, gon' worship the I Am.
and yes, I am blessed still.
I have to live for the day,
for the day we still have much work to do.
I'm forgiven for my past,
and yes, I've outlasted most,
but that don't mean nothin'.
That's why I think it's time,
To those who will appreciate,
now it's time for us to catch up
So we're shifting gears, listen here
Trying to live a better way,
No more liv ing that kind of life
See there's no more yesterday,
gotta stay ready, gotta be prepared
This is the cry of a complex young man
I admit it, description I fit it to a T
Unfortunate for me to be an outcast
Even in my circle of homies
Cause only a few can ever understand
I lose sight for the right reason
Even though they start teasing
Man I guess I'm hard to follow
if you're not easy to lead
I'm tryin' to move a mountain
with faith of a mustard seed
In the front lines of this war, forevermore
on the cottage rule domain
my contract's in the letter
The name above all others
Judgmental eyes seem to glare at this facade
I can't see the young man
That all y 'all take for granted,
only some can understand it
no more living that kind of life
See, there's no more yesterday,
gotta stay ready, gotta be prepared
Some are livin' in the game,
but they runnin' out of quarters
you're fallin' out of order
Man, it ain't worth the price
if the profit fits in your pocket
With your life, you roll the dice
But yesterday I seen it happen,
nowadays nobody's scrappin'
came back in the van packin'
and you thought you would survive
you went out blasting when he died
See I'm tired and I'm about done
But before I get about this
Know that you're about to get took
Know that you're about to get had
Take a good look, my yesterdays are sad
Don't need to blame nobody
Although, if someone were
No more living that kind of life
See, there's no more yesterday,
gotta stay ready, gotta be prepared
Ain't trying to have another
no more living that kind of life
See, there's no more yesterday,
