SOLANTA - 07 Yesterday (Study All Day) Lyrics

Look
Aye
So we say (yeah)
I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
Woah status quo
Yeah you know how it goes
Feeling a shade of indigo
Till my pen hit the floor
Studious in the studio
Was my way to cope and entertain
I remember all of it like it was only yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Telling me to listen in, but I tuned out when I pressed play
Yesterday
Yesterday
Scribbling then tear it out, and fold it into paper planes
Yesterday
Yesterday
Stuck inside the binding but the rhyming helped me turn the page
I don't want to talk about it, I just want to go insane
Tension apprehension, I remember it like yesterday

Look, let me set the scene when I was only 14
With me and all my day ones, Sami, Jay, and Courtney
Then I met this kid name Zham
And we became friends like its nothing
Ever since that day you know we'd have the illest school lunch sessions
Where we did our best impressions
Of the idols, living greatest spitters
Freestyling confessions of our mindless wishes to consider
Finger drumming lessons calluses up on my left hand
Deep down we were pretending
Running from the pressures
Cuz I'm feeling
Mostly afraid to be left behind
Didn't get sleep bags under my eyes
ADHD pills Sami crossed-eyed
Courtney didn't eat half the time
Jay would always ask "wanna blow some smoke"?
And get faded like a dry erase?
Bunch of misfits like a TV trope
In a school funded by the state
Where

I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
Woah status quo
Yeah you know how it goes
Feeling a shade of indigo
Till my pen hit the floor
Studious in the studio
Was my way to cope and entertain
I remember all of it like it was only yesterday

As days passed, Zham and I made our first set list
And Jay would cut class and was prescribed antidepressants
Sami flipped his adderall, dealt substances like chemists
Wondering if this is just a phase, will it let up?
Ain't no telling
Came up with ritual to count my blessings
But I can't use it when the homies got me stressed out
Jay tried to make exit when he popped a bunch of pills
Couldn't take it anymore, had a man down
It was blow to my gut, Manny Pacquiao
Couldn't fathom how we became so gassed out
If there is a god, lemme face him I won't back down
Dear Lord, listen to me I aint tryna bad mouth
Is it a test of faith I must overcome?
Why must you show me the pain of somebody I love?
Thinking about Cobain with a loaded gun
Even worse knowing that he's not only one
Living for the moments where we could have fun
And I killed my ears making beats everyday
Homie killed his lungs
Homie killed his brains
Don't kill one of us we lost our way

I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
Woah status quo
Yeah you know how it goes
Feeling a shade of indigo
Till my pen hit the floor
Studious in the studio
Was my way to cope and entertain
I remember all of it like it was only yesterday

Growing up, now we're 18
3 minutes on the clock, and I can't breathe
October test day, 2014
Ink stains on the page, couldn't write clean
Left side, kids sleeping, right side
Knee-shaking, wishing for more time
I was trying to stay awake with a burnt mind
Caffeine dying out for the 6th time
Circling C, now I'm guessing
ACT, now I'm stressing
Praying for me, need a blessing
What did I read, next question
Hyperventilating, can't pay attention
Proctor yelled times up, I need a second
Told me to stop twice, but I didn't hear right
Third time, it hit me
Deer in the headlights
Am I meant to make it through
Not given the intelligence, that's given to who do
Leaning back into my seat, watch my friends all leave the room
Now I see them celebrating, but I'm anxious for the doom
And I question my belief
Why don't I feel the relief
I'm so sick of living in this cycle, when will I be free?
12 years of conditioning
Zham, you fail at everything
There's this wall you cannot break
Separating you from great
Now I wanna see it crumble but I'm drowning deep in doubt
Been living in my poison
Hearing all their noise and
Now I'm feeling nauseous
Way too exhausted
Hide what I believe
Cause I only want peace
Who I wanna be is so out of reach
Really wanna stand, spine is so weak
Need a therapy cypher with the boy, Parshy
Unfinished songs written in the basement
Never satisfied, never complacent
Blowing out the stereo with lines we were typing
Vibing out till vertigo from rhymes we were hyping
Flow synergistic
Nobody could miss it
School went ballistic
Proved that we could spit
Now looking back at the marks on the rubric
Every red X gave birth to our music

I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
I just study all day, I just study all day
I just I just
I just study all day, I just study all day
Yeah I'm great
Woah status quo
Yeah you know how it goes
Feeling a shade of indigo
Till my pen hit the floor
Studious in the studio
Was my way to cope and entertain
I remember all of it like it was only yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
Telling me to listen in, but I tuned out when I pressed play
Yesterday
Yesterday
Scribbling then tear it out, and fold it into paper planes
Yesterday
Yesterday
Stuck inside the binding but the rhyming helped me turn the page
I don't want to talk about it, I just want to go insane
Tension apprehension, I remember it like yesterday
