YESTERDAY Lyrics by Will McClean

DON’T FORGET TO BREATHE

2023

Back home; talking to homies, we all reminisce
Haven't hung for some time, but thats just how it Is
Life moving so fast, we all on different trips
I can't believe it, Kaea’s even got a little kid

Felt like yesterday, he gave me my first puff on spliff
Felt like yesterday, he gave me my first puff on cig
Felt like yesterday, we’ve been through so much shit
Both lost a parent, need to call and tell him I love him



Fеlt like yesterday, but I know it was timе ago
I know theres better ways to meditate, young gifted and broke
Without Tom Scott no McClean raise a toast
This for my homies on the coast, yeah I know I’m close

Feeling nice in the summertime, taking notes
Feeling toasty in the wintertime with warm clothes
I’ll tell you something I would really like, please dont
Go against one another, we’re all in the same boat




I don’t get why people just want to fight
I don’t get why, people just don’t try
I toe that line then I roll those dice
I show no signs when im not alright

Try to carry on in a good manner
Gotta talk before I start turn to Bruce banner
Family health thats all that matters
Turned into a wordsmith just like my nana



I don’t get why, I
Want to fly, high
In the sky, free
I am me and I’m proud to be




Be me
I Used to spend my time in front of the tv
And Now I spend I time just tryina focus on my breathing
I used to be the one at the front of the line, always leading
But Now I’m in the crowd, puffing clouds, but still leading


Im dreaming of a better way to not forget what happened yesterday
Nowadays, I practice gratitude, and try not to complain
This years been the hardest, but I’m grateful for the rain
Cause its watered all my seeds, now I see, I can say

That I am tryina stand tall up on my feet
I’m grateful for my fans, all my friends and family
Im grateful for the time spent making memories
I am grateful for this life, everything surrounding me


I see the sun set it makes me want to cry
Tears of joy, cause I’m happy for this life
Ups and downs, left and rights, on this ride
Enjoying it all before its time to take flight
