Yesterday I had sweet dreams and sweet memories
The liquor that I drank wished away those bad memories
Hadn’t smoked in a while so one of my demons is fixed
I brought a plane trip to heaven because life’s a trip
My sweet love became a demon in disguise
If I was sick she wouldn’t give me breath to stay alive
Still I feel deserted but blessed in all ways
Reminiscing of me and my brother chilling in the hallways
Yesterday you were alive and I could tell you my deepest secrets
Even at your bed side you would sit up just to hear it
Yesterday I was just at your mother house for Sunday dinner
Today I feel lonely heartbroken & disfigured

See everything I went through had a times and places
There’s a syllabus and syllables with a whole lot of face
Still the smell of soul food was better than an old dude
And the laughter we shared can’t compare to anything boo
My love now is the equivalent of a ****** in a trash can
Looking through it trying to find its next meal man
Yesterday happiness filled the air
Now today it’s like no one’s there
My aunt told me never settle choose the best
Shorty committed surgery on me straight cut my heart out of my chest

Now I’m left with this empty hole
In the clubs, no dimes, just hoes
Never cheated, but the seduction on the plate
Had me stir crazy going crazy for days
Then yesterday came that’s when I learned the truth
I became a unregistered gun in the hand of a criminal who isn’t afraid to shoot.
