Yesterday & Today Lyrics - Murs

(Yesterday I) 

(And Today I'm) 

I ain't, I ain't, I ain't getting out of bed today 

9 to 5 to survive, theres gotta be a better way 

Waking up early to punch in the clock 

How I look, a grown man with my lunch in a box 

But my kids need socks and shoes, I'm walking through 

The office, boss yelling "Who you talkin to?" 

Dont you know on the streets I woulda- nevermind 

The past is the past, I gotta leave it behind 

But man, back on the block I was a bonafide hustler 

Spot popping off until the police rushed us 

Handcuffed us, I thought I was gone 

Coulda cried, thinking I'd miss my son being born 

But I was blessed, beat the case, now I'm tryna reform 

But these white folks, make it so hard to move on 

You gotta, jump through hoops, anger management coups 

But the fact I'm still standing here today is proof that...

(Yesterday I) Felt the most hated 

I thought I couldn't take it, they said I couldn't make it 

(And today I'm) Feelin' brand new 

I got nothin' to lose, I'm bout to make moves 

(Yesterday I) Felt the most hated 

I thought I couldn't take it, I fought until I made it 

(And today I'm) Feelin' brand new 

I got nothin' to lose, get out my way move 

On to the next, it was all about sex 

When I first met my little baby girl Anette 

Shee was standing at the bus stop, sucking on a lolli-pop 

Eyes collard green, lean, thicker then a pork chop 

Stop- cause I don't eat swine 

But this girl was so divine that I had to make her mine 

Called her phone a few times, she thought I was funny 

Fell for it like a dummy, it was all for the money 

Gyeah... growing up in the hood 

You would think Id understand, but I never understood 

Why she really came around, when my dough wasn't good 

Now you could call it puppy love cause I got dogged out 

Now on all my note books I got her name crossed out 

But she lost out, I just lost profit, when she left me in cold 

Heart broke like like my pockets and...

(And today I'm) Feelin' brand new 

I got nothin' to lose, get out my way move 

You know them days you just got the blues 

All stressed and depressed from just watchin the news 

No matter what good you do it seems you always get screwed 

Got you caught up in your feelings now you off in the mood 

Shake that attitude and do what you can 

Set a couple goals follow through with your plans 

Time waits for no man and tomorrows not promised 

So if shes still alive shoot a call to your momma 

Cause the fighting and the drama, its just not worth it 

Nobodys perfect, ain't none of us worthless 

We all got a place, and we all got a purpose 

Now I'm not taking y'all to sunday service 

But ya clap your hands as you stand up and work it 

Like your grandmama used to do that fan down at worship 

Spread it, pop it, and wave it in my face 

Put your hands around your waist, let me ride to the bass like...
