Where's Yesterday

(Yeah, uh) ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, hey (Beatchild, huh)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Hey, hey, yeah

I want to act like, you know (oh, oh-oh)
We came here to get you on the floor (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh; hey, hey)
Yeah, I wan' act like, you know (oh, oh-oh; you know)
We came here to get you on the floor (check it)

Yeah, ayo, I've heard it all before but yo, before we heard it all (uh-huh)
Before we learned to duck it, and before we learned to ball (yep)
They used to be a thing, I think they called it a song
And you'd hear it anytime you turned the radio on (what?)

You'd hit record on the tape deck
Yup, buy new records every paycheck (aww yeah)
There's no real tracks, it's like a train wreck (nope)
These days DJs play the same mess (yep)

I still got hope, turn up my radio (oh)
All they talk is bitches and gettin' hoes
That's cool, but where on earth did all the ladies go? (Yeah)
Aww yeah, that's right, they always at my show (ah-hah, ah-hah)

I switch it up, funk you up like a pick-and-roll (damn!)
You suckers ain't even in my peripheral (nope)
Big up to anyone who stay original
Still got me feelin' like this is a prison now

'Cause all that they play (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Is always the same (same, same, same, same, same, same)
All I can say (safe to say, safe to say, safe to say)
Is where's yesterday (where's it at, y'all, where's it at, y'all?)

Yup, Queen was a machine
The Silvers were iller than the disease
And my man, Bill Withers, was mean
Thriller was killer (guillotine)

Minnie Riperton keep you listenin' like it's nicotine
Marley was on a mission, and Stevie had inner visions (yeah)
Now, we don't even listen 'cause singers ain't even singin' (nah)
We need to bring it back to how it was in the beginning (what?)

They're more to write about than just clubbin' and how you livin' (yeah)
But record companies are more concerned 'bout makin' millions (move)
Dumb it down, dress it up, feed it to our children
Hangin' on, idiots thinkin' that they are brilliant

Fail, no win, y'all lost like Gilligan
I'm real, y'all fake, no instrument
The people are dyin' for somethin' different
At times, I'm furious, call me Nicholas, I'm sick of this

'Cause all that they play (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Is always the same (same, same, same, same, same, same)
All I can say (safe to say, safe to say, safe to say)
Is where's yesterday (where's it at, y'all, where's it at, y'all?)

Yeah, sandy black slacker that looks hard and fresh and all that
Y'all, I ain't even tryin' yet, that's why they call me slack at
My rhythm make DB boy wanna break fracture
Like rookie ridin' on double diamonds in jasper

We on point like a needle, and don't sit just lethal
We don't need a spot like either he knows
It's all movement, no ego
We do it, we do it, we do it, we do it for the people

'Cause all that they play (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Is always the same (same, same, same, same, same, same)
All I can say (safe to say, safe to say, safe to say)
Is where's yesterday

'Cause all that they play (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Is always the same (same, same, same, same, same, same)
All I can say (safe to say, safe to say, safe to say)
Is where's yesterday (huh, huh-huh, yeah-yeah)
