Well I been trying to reach the clouds in bound cletes My feet seek the ground, the sounds ceased Looking back on running loose in these wild streets And for a second I thought I found peace Shit When I think about it I was in my own type of zone I wrote notes Mostly to cope In my nights alone Far from most folks in hopes to hold the microphone You know the saying different strokes I know my vision close Uh Gone are the dumb days Of bum jays And ripped nikes Ditched the hand-me-downs for new kicks that fit nicely And if the shoe fits I'll find my new bliss and reminisce when I was useless Shit I swear life is a trip I inch slightly Into fantasies of yesterdays In a land of leaves walking where all my wishes fell And when that camera freeze I paint that perfect picture well Got childhood homies who fit the cell I learned to hide behind bars and fear the outside Where the malicious dwell I been wishing for stars That came and crashed down Thinking 'bout yesterdays That we were passed down Can't forget where we came from Can't forget what we made of I still remember the days (I still remember the days) Yesterdays on my mind (Yesterdays on my mind) Reach for a promise of decent heights Going back to the old hood just to see the sights And say what's up to Brenda and them and peace to Lisa too I used to have mom stressed, want me back in the house when she call A young outcast still I could recall Times out with the homies on that ol' Stone Block was out past Four in the morning time the homie's home fresh out the pen We was on the same old shit Causing trouble again Yelling hola at every other Stella Ella I tell ya Always been a Benita mami meeter Like nice to meet ya From across the street was where I seen't ya Girl lemme know if you wit it It's crazy umm We came a long way from the backyard cookouts 'Cause nowadays in my slum we always on the lookout Can't get this trouble off my mind I think I need to spend some time away but I can't never seem to find time I been wishing for stars That came and crashed down Thinking 'bout yesterdays That we were passed down Can't forget where we came from Can't forget what we made of I still remember the days (I still remember the days) Yesterdays on my mind (Yesterdays on my mind) Yeah baby Peace and love to all my niggas on the ends Never forget yesterday Yeah I still remember the days Yesterdays on my mind
