Yesterday’s a memory

Only thing I want is peace

And I want you to know

I ain’t who I use to be

I’m praying for equality

Praying for equality yeah yeah (x2)

Cuz yesterday’s a memory yeah

Only thing I want is peace

Got me praying for equality (x2)

Losing focus

At the bank making deposits

Counting profits

Doesn’t mean I’ve made a profit

If I only talk bands

Umeployements higher

Than it’s ever been

How can I be selfish

Then sit back and brag

Houston we got a problem

Divisiveness is causing violence

You can’t sweep it under the rug

Then hit us with shoulder shrugs

Expecting hugs with love

Acknowledgment is only the first process

Yeah yeah

It’s bigger than reparations

We need restoration

Made this here to bring awareness

To the nation

So long-needed saving

2Pac said it best in 98

We need changes

Hilltop told me illy

Take precaution

With the words

You be saying

After praying

Contemplated

Should I say this

My people at the border

Some getting deported

Black bros being oppressed

It’s time to stand united

Yesterday’s a memory

Only thing I want is peace

And I want you to know

I ain’t who I use to be

I’m praying for equality

Praying for equality yeah yeah (x2)

Cuz yesterday’s a memory yeah

Only thing I want is peace

Got me praying for equality
