One, one, two, two
Oh, it feels like
(It was only yesterday)
Uh, that we sit and watch the sky turning heather grey
Black and white watching money leading men astray
Falling in and out of light as the Heavens spray
Uh, we mix the whiskey with the lemonade
Uh, was tryna counteract, the Methylphenidate
Used to laugh when I said it made my belly ache
My belly ached everyday, yo it never changed
Uh, I wasn't ready for the grave (for the grave)

More fire, Brixton riot like a renegade
Seeing him setting fire to rain as the letters fade
No doubt I was raised out the south
Tell your ex boyfriend to keep my name out his mouth
I been in and out, to drag the pain out the house
Being brave, something proud, say my name I'ma bow
There comes a time (oh, there comes a time)
In everyone's life (bow)
When you have to fall in love
Once or twice
Check, uh
It never really feels like (it was only yesterday)
Uh, back when I thought I'd never touch the Motherland
Uh, because my skin's a different color to them other man
But still they're calling me the colored man
So you can find me in the straight peanut butter jam
Sticky, make a finger snap like a rubber band
We expand like a grand in another hand
Melts like butter in the pan as the others ran
Damn, uh, but me I stuck around
No doubt, pulled the finger out flower in the ground
Down south know what I'm about, just another clown
Red snout, running at the mouth in another town
Drown, drown (it was only yesterday)
Uh, when everyone was in the same place
Uh, and we were stuck up in that same race
Same face listening to beats with the same taste, waste
But now my beats come from LA
