Yesterday's Painting

[Intro: Tilla Arcé and Little Simz]

Yesterday

Welcome to Blank Canvas

All my troubles seemed so far away

You're about to enter something really, really, special

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

This is my world

Oh I believe in yesterday

Let me start like this

[Verse 1: Little Simz]

Aye

Lemme introduce you to my world

Take a look at this view

Take a look at these faces, not judging cause they in suits

The concept of being true

Don't affect the people that are constantly lying to you

What is the world coming to?

It's amazing how the globe will keep turning

Don't overload, just keeping learning

Dream bigger than big, I promise, It's coming

True. See this flame will keep burning

But this fire, I earned it and I can tell you, it's worth it

But the money ain't the pursuit

It's blatant that we so complacent

Not chasing what elite of greatness' statements

Really act tenacious

Feed into population, be patient, we be creating

This ain't bout rushing, ain't no discussion

Let your work do the talking, keep it basic

This ain't no...

Half hearted, speech I'm delivering, I'm bringing

What it is, all you folks are envisioning

I trust in my soul and it won't let me down

Yeah you bow to the King, but I'm here, where's my crown?

[Hook: Tilla Arcé and Little Simz]

Yesterday

This is me embarking on a new journey

All my troubles seem so far away

Whatever happened yesterday is in the past

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Hahah, this is new start, fresh start

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Yesterday

[Verse 2: Little Simz]

Growing in to a strong minded individual now

I can say it, I'm a strong minded individual now

These stories I don't believe 'em, it's so so mythical how

The information is doubled can make you live in a bubble

This world is just full of trouble

Rich kids all be claiming like they ain't flew through a struggle

Broke kids ain't keeping it real no more, they just as confused

You ain't lived through my shoes

This ain't who's got more or less, I'm just speaking the truth

And I'm taking it through the roof

They better ring all the bells when I'm steady pedalling through

I'm championing my sound, shit is sounding improved

I've always been doing my thing boy, ain't nuttin' new

Huh, ain't nuttin' new

Apart from these other shits, I'm just messing

Shit will get messy if you ever get to testing

Been a rebel ever since I hit adolescence

Still I keep it cool cause they admire my presence

Wassup?

[Bridge: Tilla Arcé]

Yesterday

All my troubles seem so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday

So I believe

I am not half the person I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh yesterday

[Outro: Little Simz and Tilla Arcé]

Ohh that's yesterday (came suddenly)

Yeah, it came so suddenly

What else?

Yesterday

Yesterday, Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday, Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday, Yesterday

Yesterday
