Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Philly corners in the summer, water plug turnt up
Anybody walk by, everybody wet up
Sis just got her hair done nice, don't wanna test her
Heard she knocked a young bull out that disrespect her
Ah-ah, block parties turn to house parties
'Cause when it's dark, that's when **** get to actin' funny
And then the neighbors call the cops 'cause we was too noisy
But they was just outside actin' cool with us
[PreChorus]
And we live careless, not a bill to pay in a world we call our own
Oh, it was all so simple, where'd the time go?
Like when I look back at it
[Chorus]
Feels like it was only yesterday
And life was so easy yesterday
If I had a chance to do it again
I'd do it the same, the joy and the pain
The coldest of winters, the summer time rain
No, I wouldn't change none of my yesterdays
[Verse 2]
I remember when I was young and irresponsible
Tried to do the things haters said would be impossible
But I wanted more so fatefully I chased it blindly
Wanted to soar so I let go the pain behind me (Hey-hey)
Could never afford shit, now I'm livin' gorgeous and my family supportin' (Oh-oh)
I know what’s important, live life to the fullest
Stay on point like a bullet (Hey-hey)
[PreChorus]
And we live careless, not a bill to pay in a world we call our own
Oh, it was all so simple, where'd the time go?
Like when I look back at it
[Chorus]
Feels like it was only yesterday
And life was so easy yesterday
If I had a chance to do it again
I'd do it the same, the joy and the pain
The coldest of winters, the summer time rain
No, I wouldn't change none of my yesterdays
[Bridge]
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow's not promised
And now I see that livin' for the here and now
The future looks more clearer now
It's good to reminisce
When I think back on when we played freeze tag and jump rope
Them old folks would smoke then get big mad
Talking 'bout we talkin' back, serious as a heart attack
But we ain't want none of that
[Chorus]
Feels like it was only yesterday
And life was so easy yesterday
If I had a chance to do it again
I'd do it the same, the joy and the pain
The coldest of winters, the summer time rain
No, I wouldn't change none of my yesterdays
