Yesterday Loyle Carner

[Intro]
Ayy
One, one, one
Peace, peace, peace
Ayy, yeah, we come in peace, peace, peace, ayy
From the West to the East
North to the South
In the belly of the beast
Ayy
One, one, one, one, two, two, ayy
Feels like
(It was only yesterday), ayy

[Verse 1]
That we sit and watch the sky turning ever grey
Black and white watching money leading Ben astray
Falling in and out of light as the heavens spray, ayy
We mix the whiskey with the lemonade, ayy
Tryna counteract the methylphenidate
Used to laugh when I said it made my belly ache
My belly ached everyday, yo, it never changed
I wasn't ready for the grave (For the grave)
But I was ready to be paid (To be paid)
Trust, I know we're never getting saved
Twenty-four, mixed race
Living twelve years a slave, ayy
(It was only yesterday)
My grandfather getting knuckled by the pepper spray
More fire, Brixton riot like a renegade
Seeing him setting fire to rain as the letters fade
No doubt I was raised out the South
Tell your ex-boyfriend to keep my name out his mouth
I been in and out, to drag your pain out the house
Being brave, something proud, say my name, I'm about
