But What About Today.

[Girl:]
Yesterday, tomorrow.

[Trae:]
What About Today I ain't worried about the next 'cause it ain't here
I'm gonna live my life for everything that it is & try not to shed no tears
Ain't no wishin' upon a star 'cause I can't see 'em from the hood
And even if I make it away it still ain't gon' do me no good
My future remains to be easy for me it ain't one to see
Everywhere that I turn I can't escape reality
The preacher told me a darker past will take away the pain
But I ain't got too long to wait, for 23 years it's been the same
Now what about...

[Girl:]
Yesterday...

[Trae:]
All I can do is pray
'Cause tomorrow ain't promisin' I'm paranoid with a K
I feel like I'm fadin' away & my eye stay too out of focus
So I'm livin' for today just in case you haven't noticed.

[Trae:]
Every day I try to maintain & hope the worst don't come to get me
Today is all I can see & tomorrow done got me Leary
A bad time, but I'm feelin' my past times
And on top of my sad times I'm losin' my damn mind
I ain't thinkin' about no...

[Girl:]
Yesterday.

[Trae:]
& that's the truth
Every time I'm catchin' a grip it's like my life will knock me loose
'Cause all my pain explains the truth, but still I try & keep it goin'
Today is what I can understand 'cause everything is showin'
It is what it is, it ain't no mistakin' hopin' & dazin'
This life I live with me is real it ain't nothin' amazin'
I take it like it's my last & clear the rest out of my way
From yesterday & tomorrow & try to think about today.

[Trae:]
I know that I got one life to live & I can't focus on a dream
The past done put me on my ass 'cause everything ain't what it seems
Reminiscin' give me the trip I tried to block it out
'Cause memories will be the reason suicide will take me out
This how one might be my last & I don't wanna think about it
If it's time for me to know I ain't gon' try to get up out it
Nowadays be so dramatic like my time be runnin' thin
Everytime I feel it's over hard times keep killin' ‘gain
Just like...

[Girl:]
Yesterday.

[Trae:]
It hurt but I can take it
In the den below my back ridin' ruff but I can shake it.
Will I make it? I'll never know 'cause my future will never show
So I'm stuck on the day everything else I'm lettin' go.

But What About Today.

[Girl echoing 'til end:]
