Yesterday's News - The Koreatown Oddity

Uh, uh, yeah

We got my man Rex Ruffin in the house

Ay yo

Get your paper, meet your maker

Before they take ya, hurry up and create somethin'

Cause you could be the shit today

And yesterday’s news tomorrow

Don’t think it can’t happen to you

It’s gon' happen to me and all y’all

The inevitable curtain call

Peace to all the people that passed on

And left some great things before singin' they swan song

And I ain’t goin' out like Len Bias

With my dreams cut short before they ever startin' flyin'

Watch the company you keep, that unintentionally

Can be the reason why you ain’t been what you might’ve

Y’all don’t hear me though

Get your paper, meet your maker

Before they take ya, hurry up and create somethin'

Cause you could be the shit today

And yesterday’s news tomorrow

Don’t think it can’t happen to you

It’s gon' happen to me and all y’all

The inevitable curtain call

Peace to all the people who passed on

And left some great things before singin' they swan song

My pops said, «We gonna die two deaths»

He said, «I ain’t tryna scare you, just want you to be prepared

Cause when I’m gone, all this wisdom you inherit»

I think about his words, smokin' izzum on the stairs

My time is valuable, don’t wanna spend it with no sheriffs

I wanna cherish it

You can be lit on my narrative 'cause life’s unfair to you

But don’t deploy ya parachute before you’re in the air, my dude

Uh, uh, one-two, one-two, uh

So get your paper, meet your maker

Before they take ya, hurry up and create somethin'

Cause you could be the shit today

And yesterday’s news tomorrow

Don’t think it can’t happen to you

It’s gon' happen to me and all y’all

The inevitable curtain call

Peace to all the people who passed on

And left some great things before singin' they swan song

I know we all be plannin' things for tomorrow

Sometimes procrastinating, sayin' that we can do it later

But listen to me, you may not get that chance if you waitin'

And if you feel my statements take this day by storm

It’s all yours
