Yesterday - Prince Rapid, Tinchy Stryder, Ghetts

There ain’t enough minutes in an hour

There ain’t enough hours in a day

There ain’t enough days in a week

There ain’t enough weeks in a month

There ain’t enough months in a year

Yeah, yeah, there ain’t enough months in a year

Yeah, yeah

It feels like yesterday, yesterday

When I bought faces for my Nokia Faceoff

In class I seen my boy from Lagos

He said that his dad comes from Barbados and

Yesterday, yesterday, Gilera 125 in the manor

Mr. Loverman, dancing to Shabba

Oh no, Dolce and Gabbana-bbana

Yeah, yeah, was when I broke my virginity

Outdoors, in a crazy facility

So young but I could have had a mini-me (yesterday, yesterday)

Yeah, yeah, I had my first Filas

I recorded Top of the Pops on the TV

Came through Hi-Fi speakers (yesterday, yesterday)

Yeah, yeah, my uncle was grieving

I didn’t take time to show my love

Next thing I know, I was grieving (yesterday, yesterday)

When I made «Top Three Selected»

Prince and Justin rapping Ghetts'

Working hard and we still ain’t rested, it feels like (yesterday, yesterday)

My nigga Titch got lifed up

That’s an innocent man right there

They can’t see that?

Get a guide dog (yesterday, yesterday)

My nigga Lee was alive God

Twenty-five in a pine box

Wish I had more of his tunes on my iPod (yesterday, yesterday)

Me and Shy were together

I thought me and Shy were forever

But now I’ve got to try to forget her (yesterday, yesterday)

I was fearing a beating

Yeah for parents' evening

Scared cuh my teacher and parents were meeting (yesterday, yesterday)

When I first smoked weed

My nigga west nearly made me OD

But never escaped to an OG (yesterday, yesterday)

Me and my lyrical days

Expensive vehicles, no keys

You don’t know that, then you don’t know me

Yesterday, I put my hands on my head as I looked to the sky

Yesterday, I never realised how much time flew by, yesterday

Ten minutes my feel like five, yesterday

I wish I could stop time, yesterday

It feels like yesterday I was on a path

Hat trick a game, put hours on the grass

I got sidetracked, led to the darts

Gun fingers, sprayed fire in the bars (let me see the gun fingers)

I was on a low payroll

For the guy Spyro, supporting Kano

Now I’m striking deals on a feature

When I go hard it’s uh-oh, see?

They’re different from yesterday

Now my boss like Strydes it’s best to play

Yeah, and they best respect the boy

Cause now mumsy’s got no debts to pay

Amen (yesterday, yesterday)

We jumped barriers like «fuck your fine»

Traveled up west on the central line

Now I’m BM cruising, white alpine

(Yesterday, yesterday) I was thinking «why's this shit so hard?»

«Really, can we ever live that large?»

Now I toast to life with A-list stars

(Yesterday, yesterday) I was screaming «I don’t wanna ride no more»

Burn out on a riddim, or write no more

Now I’m selling out tours, praise the lord

Man was on the high road for hours

Singing along to «I'll bring you flowers»

Then I’ll skate home, swift in my bowels

That was like (yesterday, serious!)

Recording a bedroom set in my yard

The gift of diesel, show man we’re hard

Next thing you know man’s on pay’s yard

That feels like (yesterday, yesterday), trust me

From that same yard man got evicted

Feds got my computer, flippin' pigs

Lucky I got the call from Eski kid

That was like (yesterday, yesterday)

Went Sidewinder, ready for the war

Some idiot bouncers on the door

They say no back then, but I’m sure they would say

(Yesterday, yesterday)

Hit the road in my green A-Class

Famous tour, like a rock star

Man travelled the UK with bars

Feels like (yesterday, yesterday)

Seen a million things in my short life

Bredrens gone in a fling of an eye

That’s why i wish I could stop time

You get me cause (yesterday, yesterday)

I made my first banger

I name my songs after girls

And the world fell in love with «Anna»

(Yesterday, yesterday)

I was only 15 years old

I made a beat that was called «Misty Cold»

2000 white labels sold

(Yesterday, yesterday)

I had a good thing going

She had more heart than Owen

I didn’t realise till her love stopped showin'

(yesterday, yesterday)

I got love from the teachers

Although I wasn’t good at maths

I used to win high jump and 100 metres

(Yesterday, yesterday)

Bow decent

After school link up, bare gash late on

Some from Beckton, Hackney, Leyton

(yesterday, yesterday)

I was known as the black one, David

My confidence was tainted

Now I can’t give a fuck cause I’m rated
