Yesterday

One one one
Peace peace peace
Ay, yeah we come in peace peace peace
From the west to the east
North to the south
In the belly of the beast
Feels like
Sit and watch the sky turn ever grey
Black and white watching money leading men astray
Falling in and out of light as the heavens spray
We mix the whiskey with the lemonade
Tryna count the rap
Used to laugh when I said it made my belly ache
My belly ac he’d yo it never changed
I wasn’t ready for the grave
But I was ready to be paid
Trust I know we’re never getting saved
Twenty four mixed race
Living twelve years a slave
My grandfather getting knuckled by the pepper spray
More fire brings the riot like a renegade
Seeing if setting fire to the rain as the letters fade
No doubt I was raised out the south
Tell your pricks boyfriend to keep my name out his mouth
I been in and out
To drag the pain out the house
Being brave something proud say my name I’m about
