YESTERDAY Lyrics

The prodigal son has returned I've been away for a minute

I know the people concerned

I had to limit spending Reflect on the lessons I've learned

Keep your bridge clean I look out and I see as they burn

Captain, oh captain, steer from the stern

See the storm clouds Member conversations when I stormed out

Rejected Nari, that's what I was born out Strangers used to pour in

See the younger than me got the pouring out

God's grace, look who do the pouring now

No, I'm not a gospel artist But I like to think I talk to God the hardest

Y'all don't curse, that's why I take this shit to farthest

I am never bound by any limitations Man has set, some can see it

Others wait until this shit then manifest Huh

When you understand that your destiny

Is locked into what you are And not what you know

That's when you become

See they'll get that 20 years down the line

We get who we are, not what we want You know what I'm saying

So once you understand that you can grasp A sense of self

The God being that's within You know what I mean

Yeah, Rich or Broke, Im really like this You cannot fight this

I do not condone anything I deem unrighteous

I do not condemn set a status and push you toward it

I just see the culture and want us to push it forward

See you cannot influence if you're under the influence

Wisdom is the true affluence From the knowledge when you understand it

Then you overstanding what God den gave you to steward

Cause you was faithful over the little things he commanded

Here's the kicker, God's within us Lock up the antennas

We are not considered niggas Till they lock us in them prisons

Social media's the number one cause for dementia

That's gon' be the last thing that they mention True intention, for real

We have to disconnect See, we used to disconnect

But we don't disconnect like we used to See, the problem is the table used to be

the centerpiece of the household See, when the table was the centerpiece

of the household That gave us time to connect

That gave us time to disconnect from the rest of the world

Connect with the people closest to us See, we don't have those things

A false sense of community and social media

Not only raising ourselves, but our children

Imagine how it's affecting us The attention spans are shorter than ever now

What can you remember from yesterday, from last week

Social media can tell you all of your memories And yet we can't

See, our sense of self is slowly drifting away Into the algorithm
