Lyrics
0:05One, one, one
0:09Peace peace peace
0:12Ay, yeah we come in peace peace peace
0:16From the west to the east
0:18North to the south
0:19In the belly of the beast
0:23One, one, one, one
0:24Two, two
0:25Feels like
0:26(It was only yesterday)
0:28That we sit and watch the sky turning heather grey
0:31Black and white watching money leading men astray
0:33Falling in and out of light as the heavens spray
0:37We mix the whiskey with the lemonade
0:39Tryna count the rap that left for
0:41Used to laugh when I said it made my belly ache
0:44My belly ached everyday, yo it never changed
0:46I wasn't ready for the grave
0:49But I was ready to be paid
0:52Trust I know we're never getting saved
0:54Twenty four, mixed race
0:56Living twelve years a slave
0:57(It was only yesterday)
1:00My grandfather getting knuckled by the pepper spray
1:02More fire brings the riot like a renegade
1:05Seeing if setting fire to the rain as the letters fade
1:07No doubt I was raised out the south
1:10Tell your ex boyfriend to keep my name out his mouth
1:12I been in and out, to drag the pain out the house
1:15Being brave something proud say my name I'm about
1:19There comes a time
1:21In everyone's life
1:24When you have to fall in love
1:26Once or twice
1:31It never really feels like
1:34(It was only yesterday)
1:36Back when I thought I'd never touch the motherland
1:39Because my skin's a different colour to them other man
1:42But still they're calling me the coloured man
1:44So you can find me in the straight peanut butter jam
1:46Sticky, make a finger snap like a rubber band
1:49We expand like a grand in another hand
1:52Melts like butter in the pan as the others ran
1:54Damn, but me I stuck around, no doubt pull the finger out
1:58Flabber in the ground
1:59Down south know what I'm about just another clown
2:02Red snout running in the mouth of another town
2:05Drown, drown
2:06(It was only yesterday)
2:08When everyone was in the same place
2:11And we were stuck up in that same race
2:12Same face listening to beats with the same taste, waste
2:16But now my beats come from LA
2:18Californ-king of the streets kick it like Pele
2:20You see that dip in the ground its bad soil
2:23It's LC and Madlib, it's mad loyal
2:27There comes a time
2:29In everyone's life
2:31(It's mad loyal)
2:32When you have to fall in love
2:34Once or twice
2:46Cool
One, one, one Peace peace peace Ay, yeah we come in peace peace peace From the west to the east North to the south In the belly of the beast One, one, one, one Two, two Feels like (It was only yesterday) That we sit and watch the sky turning heather grey Black and white watching money leading men astray Falling in and out of light as the heavens spray We mix the whiskey with the lemonade Tryna count the rap that left for 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 But I was ready to be paid Trust I know we're never getting saved Twenty four, mixed race Living twelve years a slave (It was only yesterday) My grandfather getting knuckled by the pepper spray More fire brings the riot like a renegade Seeing if setting fire to the 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 the pain out the house Being brave something proud say my name I'm about There comes a time In everyone's life When you have to fall in love Once or twice It never really feels like (It was only yesterday) Back when I thought I'd never touch the motherland Because my skin's a different colour to them other man But still they're calling me the coloured man So you can find me in the straight peanut butter jam Sticky, make a finger snap like a rubber band We expand like a grand in another hand Melts like butter in the pan as the others ran Damn, but me I stuck around, no doubt pull the finger out Flabber in the ground Down south know what I'm about just another clown Red snout running in the mouth of another town Drown, drown (It was only yesterday) When everyone was in the same place And we were stuck up in that same race Same face listening to beats with the same taste, waste But now my beats come from LA Californ-king of the streets kick it like Pele You see that dip in the ground its bad soil It's LC and Madlib, it's mad loyal There comes a time In everyone's life (It's mad loyal) When you have to fall in love Once or twice Cool
