Yesterday Man

[Intro: Flavor Flav]

Yo come on

You don’t even know who the hell you are

You don’t even know who the hell you are

You don’t even know who the hell you are

Who the hell you are

You don’t even know

You don’t even know who the hell you are

Who the hell you are

You don’t even know

You don’t even know who the hell you are

We did it yesterday, and we’ll do it again

Tomorrow we’ll all still be yesterday men

If you’d like to be more than yesterday boys

Then sit down and listen while they bring the noise

[Chorus: Daddy-O and Flavor Flav]

Huh?

They say you don’t know where you goin’

If you don’t know where you been

Say that I refuse to lose

So I’mma win

And I ain’t going to stop quit

Made it a plan for the yesterday man

From Migos to Flash, Rakim to Drake

From Linden Triangle to Livonia and Blake

Yes yes yes yes yes yes tell it

Yesterday man

[Verse 1: Chuck D and Daddy-O]

Some wanna be a spectacle …what happened?

Instead of spectacular …what happened?

Check the sally vernacular …what happened?

Now they mumblin’ back at her …what happened?

Kanye marryin’ Kim …what happened?

Bruce Jenner turned to fem …what happened?

Is rap still a black CNN? ...what happened?

Is Run and DMC still friends? ...what happened?

[Chorus: Daddy-O and Flavor Flav]

Huh?

They say you don’t know where you goin’

If you don’t know where you been

Say that I refuse to lose

So I’mma win

And I ain’t going to stop quit

Made it a plan for the yesterday man

From Migos to Flash, Rakim to Drake

From Linden Triangle to Livonia and Blake

Yes yes yes yes yes yes tell it

Yesterday man

[Verse 2: Chuck D]

Yesterday being everything I ever said

Echo of the past comin out of my head

Sayin’ new is better

So that new gets sold

They don’t want any better

They want different from old

But I ain’t buyin’ what they wanna sell now

I ain’t believin’ everything they be tellin me now

Say tomorrow is better

What today got wrong

Right now I’m the man yesterday is the song

[Chorus: Daddy-O and Flavor Flav]

Huh?

They say you don’t know where you goin’

If you don’t know where you been

Say that I refuse to lose

So I’mma win

And I ain’t going to stop quit

Made it a plan for the yesterday man

From Migos to Flash, Rakim to Drake

From Linden Triangle to Livonia and Blake

Yes yes yes yes yes yes tell it

Yesterday man

[Verse 3: Chuck D and Daddy-O]

Brooklyn lookin’ like it’s L.A. ...what happened?

Sway movin’ out of the bay ...what happened?

Eazy singin’ Boyz N The Hood ...what happened?

Pac ridin’ shotgun with Suge ...what happened?

Common used to love her, did he leave her? ...what happened?

Now it’s no love of hip hop either ...what happened?

What the fuck OMG the pain? ...what happened?

I’mma just stay in my lane ...what happened?

Rappers all doin’ TV ...what happened?

Kids lookin’ older than me ...what happened?

3 Stacks ain’t makin’ songs? ...what happened?

Cam and Jimmy don’t get along ...what happened?

[Chorus: Daddy-O and Flavor Flav]

Huh?

They say you don’t know where you goin’

If you don’t know where you been

Say that I refuse to lose

So I’mma win

And I ain’t going to stop quit

Made it a plan for the yesterday man

From Migos to Flash, Rakim to Drake

From Linden Triangle to Livonia and Blake

Yes yes yes yes yes yes tell it
