Say Goodbye To Yesterday Lyrics - The Future Is Now - Non Phixion

Yo.. three-hundred and sixty-five 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 

[Verse One] 

Yo.. 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 live with the whites, and the blacks live 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 askin 

Just some habits of highly effective MC's 

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 God-bodies 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 

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: *sung*] 

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 Two] 

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 (?) tops, smack, the guns and the coke 

Who shot Lennon and Malcolm X, one in his throat 

I'm an old soul that hold 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, 6 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, turnin the page 

I can't go back, we learn to live with hate and respect 

A tale from the heart prevail through the pain and regret 

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]
