yesterday was a good day

it goes one for the weather

two for the trees

three for the imapalas

four for the ds

i don't have a job cause i'm employed by the streets

i make dope music

my niggas flow to it

i bring hope to it

like ali at the olympics

though my vibe is something different

it's live and something rhythmic

might remind you of the tribe or something near it

but i strive for something closer

i'm more nwa when they was running through the posters

remember popping up your toaster

to get your pop-tart to make it back before commercials?

and family matters was your curfew

when it got canceled did it hurt you?

i almost crushed up the changer

but i had a crush on topanga

and 36 was the chambers

i wish i knew then that hip-hop was endangered

what i wouldn't do to save her

i'm all out of tears like i'm m.j. blige

don't wanna be lebron or what mj was

cube go

and big say

and yesterday was a good day

drove it to the pad and i'm coastin'

new fresh tee

pair of kicks and a oakland

and just yesterday some dude came up and asked me

where i was performing

i told him nigga that was last week"
