Ab-Soul - Yesteryear lyrics

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul] I recall it like it was yesterday, though it's so blurry No worries, I was never in no hurry, the time ticks I'm just a little dude in middle school Tryna be hard with my little crew, I was pitiful On a soul search with little to no worth Grades s** cause I never did my homework I was no jerk, but I tried to be fly None of the girls wanted to ride with me, tryna see why To raise up I had to be gangsta But I didn't have it, so I didn't have the holes and designer fabric clothes That was the life I wanted, to be a popular big shot And I miss not havin' a care in the world Except to stare at the girls to hug me Only considered a buddy It's funny when I look back to yesteryear [Hook: Ab-Soul] I'm takin' a trip back, and it's a trip that The time pa** so fast, I really miss that Feelin' I had, I hope that my message is clear When I think back to yesteryear I'm takin' a trip back, and it's a trip that The time pa** so fast, I really miss that Feelin' I had, I hope that my message is clear When I think back to yesteryear [Verse 2: Ab-Soul] It's like a revelation for me here I finally hooked up with the girl I was chasin' for three years All like this is me, yeah Who gon' touch me? It's the old buddy With a girl so lovely Movin' up the ladder of importance Or it's just all in my head, so I often regret Titling myself as high shelf material I was never that, I'm forever that Straight hair and dark lip dude that's half nice From the female perspective, and he raps tight That's my name in the hood It's me, born and raised Since the 4th grade at Cheapwood We had a lot of fun nights House parties and the water gun fights I was never in 'em But I loved to watch, I feel restless here When I look back to yesteryear [Hook: Ab-Soul] I'm takin' a trip back, and it's a trip that The time pa** so fast, I really miss that Feelin' I had, I hope that my message is clear When I think back to yesteryear I'm takin' a trip back, and it's a trip that The time pa** so fast, I really miss that Feelin' I had, I hope that my message is clear When I think back to yesteryear [Verse 3: Ab-Soul] So now, when I ride through it's kinda crazy like I'm a senior in high school and I'm lovin' it now The whole hood's lovin' the style From the graduates to the little kids runnin' around Young buck showin' me love, I don't even know [?] but they just go with the flow I remember the park dances when I would walk lonely In the throwback [?] But it was peace there, always people to meet there And we had a great time But lately I recall the days We clowned around at Mickey D's and Shakey's Half of the week, just me and capital three No other way I would have it to be Actually, I'm connected here It's crazy when I look back to yesteryear [Hook: Ab-Soul] I'm takin' a trip back, and it's a trip that The time pa** so fast, I really miss that Feelin' I had, I hope that my message is clear When I think back to yesteryear I'm takin' a trip back, and it's a trip that The time pa** so fast, I really miss that Feelin' I had, I hope that my message is clear When I think back to yesteryear
