The Black Eyed Peas - Yesterday lyrics
rate me(Chorus)
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
I want to go back to yesterday
I want to go back to yesterday
I want to go back to yesterday
I want to go back to yesterday
Yesterday
(Verse)
We goin' back to the front, give them what they want
Back to the past, retro glass
Back to the leader, back to reviews
Take them back to the future
Take them to the true school
Cuz we was breakin' atoms, live at the barbeque
Now we reminiscing, pumpin' Audio Two
Listenin' to niggas, niggas with them attitudes
Apl with sum' Black Sheep screamin'
'Ya can get with this or ya can get with that'
Smoke emcees, or ya could smoke crack
Ya can sell dope, or ya can sell raps
I sell dope raps cuz that's where it's at
Now I'm back on the scene, crispy and clean hip hop fiend
Source Magazine, World Famous is the Supreme Team
SP-1200 drum machine, hail to Latifah she be the queen
DMC and Run be the kings, king of rock
My nigga Ice-T killed a cop
And we be to rap what key be to lock
(Interlude)
I'm cool like that, I'm cool like that
I move like that becuz I'm smooth like that
I rap like that becuz I'm phat like that
I rock like that becuz I got it like that
And I'm ill like that, skilled like that
Phil-i-ppines, cuz I feel like that
I'm real like that, yes, I'm chill like that
He gotz the chill
(Verse 2)
I got pounds and pounds of peas ya know
I'm not Large Professor but I'm an extra pro
Punks jump up to punk rock'n'roll
The Master P-nut is a pistachio
The Peas peak past the pinnacle plateau
Posses a fresh Porsche, I don't push Peugeot
Packin' out paper in a pass I was pulled
Get paid to rock mics and used to call the show
Here we go, yo, here we go, yo
Check the flow yo, cuz this retro
It's my classic mani-fuckin'-festo
Lyrically I'm magic, fuckin' presto
Insurin' hip-hop like gecko
Makin' sure it won't stop, baby, heck no
That's a what, that's a what, the scenario
Reminiscin' while I listen to the stereo
(Interlude)
I reminisce, I reminisce
I reminisce, I reminisce
When it's soundin' like this
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yey
Comment allez-vous, parlez vous francais?
Adios muthafuckas, bon voyage
Home of the liquid flows and Liquid Swords
Black eyed killer peas on the swarm
Comin' to yo college and disco dorm
Y'all can't touch my skills
I can switch it up Das Efx and get iggity-iggity-ill
Yiggity-yes rapper, my style is unique
Iggity ice on my teeth, so it's cold when I speak
Word to mom, I'm in my own world
Galaxy raised, powerful
(Chorus)
(Verse 4)
So I can hit ya with the bass, how low can ya go?
I get lower than the midget doin' limbo
I got shit that ya haven't heard a while ago
'88-'92 the style'll go, way back, rockin' on the A-track
Memorex, TDK, all of that, throw back before all the Daza rap
Willy is his name and the boy's comin', Straight Out of L.A
A crazy muthafucka named Willy
I'm so cold my flow stay chilly
I got a laser aimed at them haters
And I'm cuttin' muthafuckas with my razor
Ya too boy, if ya fuck with me
I'mma dice ya up, slice ya up quickly
I signed to Ruthless when Dre dropped Dre Day
That's why I do this, to bring ya back to yesterday
(Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday) Tiger style
There's no place to hide as I step inside the room
Dr. Doom, prepare for the boom, bam, I slam
Ah, man, ya fuckin' with will.i.am
Cuz I'm torching and scorchin', my style is awesome
Crackin' muthafuckas' skulls like it's porcelain
Ayo, let's save hip hop from Dr. Kevorkian
Bring it right here, right back to its origin
Ay yo, I'mma hop in my muthafuckin' DeLorean
So I can go back and fuckin' perform again
Ayo, I do sum' wind mills and sum' fuckin' linoleum
MC mic controllin' them, I was like
I was steady policin' them
Killin' emcees, I was straight deceasin' them
Compute-deletin' them 'til them niggas don't exist
Becuz Black Eyes Peas is hard as hell
Battle anybody, I don't care if u tell
I excel, they all fail, I told them muthafuckas I'mma take them...
[Outro)
Back to yesterday
I'm takin' u back to yesterday (x3)
I took u back to yesterday (x4)
And now I'm takin' u to the future
I'm takin' u to the future (x4)
Takin' u to the future
Take u to the future
Take u to the future
Future, future, future, future, future
