Well

I been trying to reach the clouds in bound cletes

My feet seek the ground, the sounds ceased

Looking back on running loose in these wild streets

And for a second I thought I found peace

Shit

When I think about it I was in my own type of zone

I wrote notes Mostly to cope In my nights alone

Far from most folks in hopes to hold the microphone

You know the saying different strokes

I know my vision close

Uh

Gone are the dumb days Of bum jays And ripped nikes

Ditched the hand-me-downs for new kicks that fit nicely

And if the shoe fits I'll find my new bliss and reminisce when I was useless

Shit

I swear life is a trip I inch slightly

Into fantasies of yesterdays

In a land of leaves walking where all my wishes fell

And when that camera freeze I paint that perfect picture well

Got childhood homies who fit the cell

I learned to hide behind bars and fear the outside

Where the malicious dwell

I been wishing for stars

That came and crashed down

Thinking 'bout yesterdays

That we were passed down

Can't forget where we came from

Can't forget what we made of

I still remember the days

(I still remember the days)

Yesterdays on my mind

(Yesterdays on my mind)

Reach for a promise of decent heights

Going back to the old hood just to see the sights

And say what's up to Brenda and them and peace to Lisa too

I used to have mom stressed, want me back in the house when she call

A young outcast still I could recall

Times out with the homies on that ol' Stone Block was out past

Four in the morning time the homie's home fresh out the pen

We was on the same old shit

Causing trouble again

Yelling hola at every other Stella Ella I tell ya

Always been a Benita mami meeter

Like nice to meet ya

From across the street was where I seen't ya

Girl lemme know if you wit it

It's crazy umm

We came a long way from the backyard cookouts

'Cause nowadays in my slum we always on the lookout

Can't get this trouble off my mind

I think I need to spend some time away but I can't never seem to find time

I been wishing for stars

That came and crashed down

Thinking 'bout yesterdays

That we were passed down

Can't forget where we came from

Can't forget what we made of

I still remember the days

(I still remember the days)

Yesterdays on my mind

(Yesterdays on my mind)

Yeah baby

Peace and love to all my niggas on the ends

Never forget yesterday

Yeah

I still remember the days

Yesterdays on my mind
