Yesterday's Thrill

I worked too damn hard to not work damn hard I done - talked to God and - played my part Called up Pop, he said "Go at it with a vengeance, son!" Mama said, "Do your thang, Son!" Grandmas want the best foot forward Feel the spirit of my Grandpas like it was in order I know it's important to put twice the grind, twice the effort 2017? Shit, I almost said "Fuck it!" With that mentality, I couldn't had the gravity No weight on my wait, would've screwed up that one date I remember, it was nearing September Puffy and a scruffy with the Polo - who could love me Had to look in the mirror, I foresaw the fall Never would've thought at all that I'd be standing tall...again Feeling like the man again, shoutouts to my clan, came out the wreck filled with fuckery And shenanigans But nah, you wouldn't understand About this young black man How I had it all in my hands Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive They told me 27 was my prime time To get to living, traveling, the fun vibes Playing catch up, to all the things I missed You must heard, surely get the gist I don't whip, but I NexTrip Tryin' to make things happen, oh-so-late fashion They envy some facts of my life I take the good, take the bad, get it right These 13 wides - you think it's pleasant? Take a walk in em, try to feel my presence Looking for the love in the wrong spots Revolving door of people who done took shots I could go on bout the two, who chipped my 20s, made my sky turn grey But right now? I'mma plan the next shit out Live my best damn life - fuck you talking bout Yo, it's like Lil Duval said, man I'm just tryin' to smile, bitch Live my best damn life And I'm really not tryin' to go back and forth with you ni- Nah, I'm playing Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive They say every action needs a reaction Way too introspective, so I cause abstraction In my thoughts, my feelings, my resentment They play Plaintiff, I remain the defendant Mid 20s shit, yet I'm not independent They said, "Get up out the crib, it's time to live!" But what y'all gotta give? False hope and hard liquor? I drink the Blue Moon, Shock Top The easy sippers No disrespect, no harm, no foul Young brotha tryin'a Flourish, off of self nourish The thoughts be running, the mind be punching All I hear is three words, somebody do something Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive Yesterday's thrill is tomorrow's new drive Yesterday's thrill is to strive to survive
