yesterday - johniepee lyrics

[verse 1]
yeah, yeah
another day, a new story
a new morning, day dawning, sun shining right before me, yuh
another day to make a change
to leave my brain rearranged, turn over a new leaf or new page
a new age in this city
it’s silly, but the scars, from my past they remain with me
they made me who i am and it’s really playing on my brain
but i’m a new man, lord, please forgive me
so regardless of the past and the struggles you faced
everybody’s got their baggage which they carry in case
like a backpack on their back that can never be faced
you’ll get to it one day, keep running that race
keep running through the storms and the clouds of grey
on the other side you’ll find there’s a brighter day
what will be will always be and somehow find a way
so use the lessons as a blessing from yesterday
and i say

[chorus: keely brittain (johniepee)]
i’m so grateful, yesterday (yeah, yeah)
and all the new friends i made along the way
(ayy, yeah, when you know where you are)
and i’m so d-mn happy to say (i’m so d-mn happy to say)
that yesterday made me who i am today
today (that yesterday made me who i am today)

[verse 2]
it ain’t coincidental that i was drawn to pad and pencil
the fact i haven’t met you and i’m writing in my bedroom
i know i don’t know you, but i know i’ll get you
’cause you’ll relate to all the sh-t that i have been through
parents said goodbye when i was at the age of five
dad gone, mum sick, so i’d sit and wonder why
but looking back i wouldn’t change it a bit
so i became the fresh prince to relate to the kids
’cause i can touch lives when i write rhymes
and i can think twice before i let a tough time
ruin this day that i’ll only get once
i can never replay, so i never waste one
i don’t rap for the money, it’s the feeling inside
i know if i didn’t write, well, it wouldn’t be right
so i keep on working ’til you’re feeling the vibe
until the smile that you’re bringing is emitting a light
and i say

[verse 3]
hey, yeah
n-body can touch the world just quite like you
even on the same floor we’d have a different view
so many yesterdays have come and gone, but listen to
what i say, ’cause it takes time to see a flower bloom
nothing magic happens overnight
but left foot, right foot, like k-dot said, “we gon’ be alright”
so what if life is feeling sh-tty at the present time
soak it up, ’cause you can never really press rewind
who knows in hindsight, just what you might find
go outside and see the stars in the night sky
and realise every matter at hand’s
just a flash in the pan in the m-ssive expanse of your lifetime
life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside
buckle up, little ones, but enjoy the ride
yuh, and to the best i say
stop hating on your past an’ say yes today, ayy

[chorus: keely brittain (johniepee)]
i’m so grateful, yesterday (i’m so grateful for yesterday)
and all the new friends i made along the way
(yeah, yeah, ayy, when you know where you are)
and i’m so d-mn happy to say (and i’m so d-mn happy to say)
yesterday made me who i am today
(ayy, yesterday made me who i am today) today

[post-chorus keely brittain & johniepee]
ayy, ayy
today, today, today
yeah, yeah, today, today, today
today, today, today
yeah, i’m so grateful for yesterday
made me who i am today
