Yesterday Unlike Today
The streets of old have given way
To what was once just yesterday
Where a-capella would fill the air
Under lamp posts, empty now bare
Love for her, you called your flame
Would be replaced by ugly names
Slanderous words, these terms endeared
By no class acts is now I fear
The human race has lost contact
With it's own self respect it lacks
The time of day to be straight up
To know one's place, naive these pups
I don't hang unto what was then
But don't think one should condescend
Your bro, your friend these so called ho-mies
By you playa whose just a phony
We all can live and be for real
But much too often we bite and steal
The act and gift of gangster gab
How weak this role much worse how sad
God gave each one that walks this Earth
A gift to prove their real net worth
It's not the ride and not your bling
But for your soul to do something
Stamp out the clown not born to be
Inside of you special God sees
If we would try to change our ways
Maybe GODS hand on us He'd lay
Yesterday unlike today
Has come and gone and probably may
Be our last tomorrow to come
Of this great mess we have become
GOD doesn't like ugly. So what you gonna do pretty boy?
