Lyrics and translation
Original
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood, and I seen something, and it hurt me.
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood, and I seen something, and it hurt me.
You were talking to that woman like you could show her something, and I didn't know what to do.
You pulled out your pen and paper, and I know it's your number you gave her. I never thought this bad dream would come true, yeah.
Baby, I want you to know, the suburbs to the ghetto, joy is joy and pain is pain, pain.
One day sooner than you'll know, we'll be living tomorrow.
We'll be laughing about today, today.
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood, and I seen something, and it hurt me.
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood, and I seen something, and it hurt me.
You were talking to your boys, and though y'all didn't make noise, you tapped them and you pointed at this woman.
Then she turned around as if she'd been found.
All I know is my heart started jumping, yeah.
Baby, I want you to know, the suburbs to the ghetto, joy is joy and pain is pain, pain.
One day sooner than you'll know, we'll be living tomorrow.
We'll be laughing about today, today.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow. Beautiful baby, don't you know you mean the world to me?
The moon would lose the sky if you don't stay.
Did I ever tell you that you are my sunshine?
So basically, if you leave, there is no day, hey, hey.
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood, and I seen something, and it hurt me.
Yesterday, I rolled through the hood, and I seen something, and it hurt me.
Instead of scoring high in college, scoring high in garbage, and not remembering who we are, and not to mention forgetting who God is.
Don't you know that you're special, and God will never forget you?
The world is yours, watch what you do with it, yeah.
Baby, I want you to know, the suburbs to the ghetto, joy is joy and pain is pain, pain.
One day sooner than you'll know, we'll be living tomorrow.
We'll be laughing about today, today.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.
