Yesterday

 

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday x2

 

 

 

 

Hey little bro man, I miss you so man

I try to come to terms and I try to understand

Why were you taken from us? you didnt deserve it

Your memory I preserve it and the world, I still unnerve it

If you could only see how your death affected us

We aren't the same as we were your death infected us

Nobodys talking now its fights upon fights

We lost all our sights and this shit isn't right

You were the glue that held us together as one

If you could see what we've become you'd be undone

A family no more just sour and sore

Anger and grief just seem to lead up to more

Hurtful words spread like a plague from within

We've lost our way not a chance of winnin

This ain't spinnin a tale for the sake of a rhyme

These are true to life facts your death was a crime

 

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday x2

 

I remember us in betta days, though we had shit

Living hand to mouth but too legit too just quit

Me you and Aron runnin home from grade school

Cuz we might get our ass kicked from some damn fool

Scared cuz momma raised us passive instead of aggressive

Overpossessive just trying to protect us

But when it was fight or flight you were the one to fight

You stood your ground when shit wasnt right

We called ya yellow ass but a coward you wasnt

This is an ode to my bro this is his flow that im bustin

Yesterday we could talk for hours on the phone

Today I speak my grief into a fucking microphone

Yesterday I had a brother and also a best friend

Today i feel soulless and depressed man

Yesterday we talked of ways of getting ahead

Today I talk about wishin I was just dead

 

I dont know if my life will ever be the same

I dont know if the world will remember your name

I dont know if time will heal all the wounds

I dont know why God took you so soon

I dont know if I can just forgive and forget

I dont know if I can live with this regret

 

 

[spoken]

My brother Rob died a slow painful death

Cancer is a bastard but still he smiled on

No tears will bring him back

But his memory will live on in my words

His unjust death brought many changes

Most were negatives but his death changed my heart

So it at least brought a positive from a negative

I love you Rob
