Yesterday Songtext
von Thi'sl

Some nights I close my eyes and I can still see your face
A1 since day one, you were my ace
There never was a question in me if you were gon′ ride

That's why I hated myself that I wasn′t there by your side

We ride together, we die together (We ride together, we die together)
When you died dawg, we died together (A part of me died too)
I always knew that we would fly together (We fly)
That we would stand up on this stage together (Wish you were here)
I still remember that call saying you done got shot

We hopped off in the whip and headed down to the block

I made it to the hospital to see Jada's face
Your daddy looked me in my eyes, said you gone away
There's no words for my pain, there′s nothing to say
September 16th, never will be the same
And only God can help me ease that pain (Thank you God)
But now the whole world know you Tank, I miss you dawg


Even though your heart is broken filled with pain
And you feel the sun will never shine again
You are not alone, there′s one who understands
There's a brighter day than yesterday

I wrote this verse for you young king, ′cause I'm sure we′ll forget

You were only six years old when your body got hit
By a bullet that we know wasn't intended for you

But when we riding, shooting blind, we don′t know who we shoot
Now I don't know nothing about you, your moms or your pops

But I know how I'd feel if my son had got shot
I got a five year old son, and it made me think about him
And how I would′ve felt if them bullets would′ve hit him
Where would you be when you grow up, they'll never know
′Cause your life was cut short, so you'll never grow
It′s like the ghetto, our lives are equal to pain
But flowers grow in the ghetto from all the rain
My heart broke for your moms, your pops and your TT
While I was watching my son and he was watching TV
I hope this verse let 'em know that I′m feeling they pain

And they smile 'cause the world gon'
Remember your name, Marquis Johnson


Even though your heart is broken filled with pain
And you feel the sun will never shine again
You are not alone, there′s one who understands
There′s a brighter day than yesterday

Up early in the morning, dressed in all black with my shades on
Heart hella heavy, tryna stay strong
Keeps playing in my head like it just happened
We was on the block bumping Tank rapping
This is not how it was 'posed to end
I wipe the snot from my nose again
′Cause I can't stop crying, I′m not lying
We was just too young to start dying
But I know that God don't make mistakes

So I′m praying for your soul to take
Uphold the faith, and hopefully when I'm old and gray
And check up outta here, my road is paved
And my soul is saved, when I'm on my way
Make sure you tell ′em not to close the gates
Don′t let 'em close the gates

Lord I need you to see me through
Lord I need to hear from you
Lord I need you to wipe my tears away
There′s a brighter day than yesterday
There's gonna be a brighter day
There′s gonna be a brighter, a brighter, yeah
