It's frustratin' when you just can't express yourself And it's hard to trust enough to undress yourself To stand exposed and naked, in a world full of hatred Where the sick thoughts of mankind control all the sacred
I pause, take a step back, record all the setbacks Fast forward towards the stars in the jetpack My feet might fail me, my heart might ail me The synagogues of Satan might accuse or jail me
I've got somethin' to say... Ôiô Yesterday is gone Tomorrow is on the way
That name on that birth certificate, that ain't the real me The lies can't conceal me The sun rise and the moon tides and the sky's gon' reveal me My brain pours water out my tear ducts to heal me
I've got somethin' to say... Ôiô Yesterday is gone Tomorrow is on the way
The message grab a hold to every ear it get whispered in The waters in the bayous of New Orleans still glistenin' The universe is listenin', be careful what you say in it My grandma told me every bed a nigga make, he lay in it
I've got somethin' to say... Ôiô Yesterday is gone Tomorrow is on the way
The church you go to pray in it, the work is on the outside Staring out the windows is for love songs and house flies
I've got somethin' to say... Ôiô Yesterday is gone Tomorrow is on the way
