LLOYD LYRICS

Yesterday

Life ain't sweet

Damn shol ain't peachyjus keep ya head up

(oh babe)

(verse 1:)

As I dig deep inside my soul

Look into my past

And all that I had through these glass windows

I find myself wanderin all alone

About the ways that yesterday

Changed the path I chose

Oh

(Chorus:)

Ain't no tellin where I'd be

Dead or in the penetentiary

From shootouts wit my enemy

Squeeze until my clips empty

But would they give sin to me

By the hands that was lent to me

Know that it was meant to be

To take over this industry

(Lloyd talkin:)

Yea

Its goin down

Nomore gettin left behind

Its time to shine

Mind on my grind

Look

(verse 2:)

And only the Lord knows

If I dont succeed

Then my family's left out in the cold

So I gotta play my cards

Cause if I fold

No supersta

Expensive cars

Or designer clothes

Oh

(chorus)

(Lloyd talkin:)

Never feelin bad

Situations gettin sad

Gotta move on

Sun gone shine

Jus wait til mornin

Yea

Outta all the struggles

All the pain

All the hurt

Its alright

Gotta be strong

Time moves on

No matter what

When situations get bad

When times get sad

Gotta keep yo head up

Gotta keep ya grind up

From 99

Never let it behind

(verse 3:)

Just gotta stay ahead of the race

Keep up my pace

It won't be long

When a feelinz all I can take

I see my heartbreak

Just makes me strong

No matter what nobdy say

I got rhymes to make

Im reachin for the throne

Cause I know that my yesterday

Been the best of dayz

Just take it slow

(Lloyd talkin:)

See

I know

N though Im young

Money dont grow on trees

Im only 18

But I done seen some shit

You know

Yea I run wild

Live the fast lane lifestyle

I can't help ima ghetto child

Its all good

Now I see

?

Reach 8 feet

You know

Ain't gotta smell that piss in the project halls

I gotta new place to stay now nigga

Yea

But uh

Ima still focus

In the hood

Im comin back

Takin all yall niggas wit me

Gotta do this together
