Like Yesterday - UGK

We used to ride Cadillacs with the roof pushed back

Open up my do' while paper moves we catch a contact

Livin' our life wrong ni**a wasn't s'posed to live long

These b**ches strong or be gone it wasn't for these rap songs

We used to sell d**e cos time don't hold up

How the f**k you gon' eat if you ain't got sh*t to fold up

Better keep my mind on Donny young doin' 40 for cheddar

We smoke the skunk and poppin' that trunk to make us feel better

My paint done got much wetter than it was in '92

Bought mama a Benz for Christmas doin' sh*t you boys tryin' to do

And even though we got fame we love to grip the grain

Even though these hoes say that I change hey b**ch I'm still the same

Dealin' with tha same things just in a new game

Ain't touch no 'caine try and have sh*t like little James

It's dedicated to the trill niggas that paved the way

Stayin' high trying a hold on to yesterday

I never thought that there would ever be a time

When a man will wanna kill another man behind a rhyme

I never thought that I would ever live to see

Another man try to come and take my life away from me

I never thought that I would ever have to deal

With the fact that to protect my life somebody might get killed

But I'll survive and I know I'm blessed to say

I realize that tomorrow won't be like yesterday

I remember this like yesterday Saturday nine o'clock uh

Electric company backed up by schoolhouse rock sh*t

Didn't have no bills then but now I got bills

Seems like I'm only a bill and livin' only for skrill

I was only 13 mannish used to run through some chicks

Used to catch the bus to the majestic and watch kung fu flicks

Little league basketball I'm hoopin' baby scorin' all the points

After the game I'm chippin' in with the twins on the joints uh

The lanky motherf**ker I'm growin' up fast

My only dream was to somehow get a fold of cash uh

These H town streets produced this game of mine

Forever in a f**k you frame of mind

I changed with the times now these boys come with 'plexes

I'm screamin' 'til my dime baby mo city Texas

I remember this like yesterday in jheris and braids

Now these boys chopped it down for newer 20s and blades

I never thought that there would ever be a time

When a man will wanna kill another man behind a rhyme

I never thought that I would ever live to see

Another man try to come and take my life away from me

I never thought that I would ever have to deal

With the fact that to protect my life somebody might get killed

But I'll survive and I know I'm blessed to say

I realize that tomorrow won't be like yesterday

As my day goes by I wish I could close my eyes

And just expose myself to my past

But I suppose I can't change the path that I chose

Why would I wanna everybody knows I just tried to do right

And keep it all tight in my bro's eye

Watchin' 50s try and travellin' first class like the pros fly

I'm lookin' 'round corners tryin' to see where my foes lay

The master of the class like blowfly

For really I'm so sly you probably wouldn't buy it

Drugs I used to ride it used to hide it

Used to sell it even tried it denied it

To the end to my mama but eventually it came out

Her baby son done turned the game out couldn't take the shame out her eyes

All the lies all the excuses when your mama's cryin' it's all useless

Boy you ain't ruthless you're just your mama's baby

Who hopin' and prayin' that maybe things could be like yesterday

I never thought that there would ever be a time

When a man will wanna kill another man behind a rhyme

I never thought that I would ever live to see

Another man try to come and take my life away from me

I never thought that I would ever have to deal

With the fact that to protect my life somebody might get killed

But I'll survive and I know I'm blessed to say

I realize that tomorrow won't be like yesterday

I never thought that there would ever be a time

When a man will wanna kill another man behind a rhyme

I never thought that I would ever live to see

Another man try to come and take my life away from me

I never thought that I would ever have to deal

With the fact that to protect my life somebody might get killed

But I'll survive and I know I'm blessed to say

I realize that tomorrow won't be like yesterday
