Yesterday

"Speak up for them

Your friends, your relatives, your neighbors

It's a good idea to speak up for them

And it's always good to thank God"

I miss you like yesterday

I miss you like yesterday

Yeah, I know it sound cliché

And they tell me just to pray, but

I miss you like yesterday

Early morning, whippin' up breakfast

So unexpected, I'm barely yawnin'

Iron my school clothes, food up on the stove

Biscuits was hella fluffy, "Grandma, I need two of those"

You wisp away from your brother, Papa do what you say

For a crumb could hit my tongue, tell me to pray

Scrape my plate, wash the dish

Be prepared for the world and be thankful of the time that I get

To be young on the run

Don't be eager to be grown, have some fun

You'll look back when you turn 21

Like my, time flies

Wishin' you were you here by my side

Like an autumn breeze, knockin' all the pecans out the trees

Bakin' your fruitcakes for Christmas Eve

The smell of sweet potato pie make it hard to leave

Sit and reminisce, out the grab bag, everybody got a gift

Just be thankful for the the thought, don't be givin' lip

We laugh and cry

You knew you couldn't save the world, but you had to try

I been doin' the same

Just so you know, your lectures ain't goin' in vain

Accepted that you're gone but I deal with the pain

Weather the rain, just know I won't be the same
