In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today [Verse 1] Woke up, got up, near eleven oclock Butt naked except I was wearing my socks And thats cool, cause most the time this floor is cold Stand up and stretch look around this mess My place has been a cave since she left me Make my way to the kitchen, start the coffee Then dip to the bathroom, begin the triples And wash the previous evening off me Now out the shower, get dry, shove a qtip in my ear Well, what do we have here? It appears as if a piece of me has got motivation Aint nothin wrong with a little morning masturbation Fresh, dressed like fifty cents Clean and awake now Im ready to commence Spark up the caffeine and nicotine binge And thats pretty much the pattern of how the day begins And I write for an hour, maybe half hour more Then I put on my shoes and grab my key for the door Put my headphones on for this world I ignore Trek down the street towards the record store Hey, bro how you doing, anything new today? Nah man, how you been? its the same old same again Well, then Ill be gone, friend, Ill see you around And Im out, destination uptown In the summertime the women wear a lot of skin And if I sit in one spot I can take em all in Sometimes I even talk, to see if I can make one grin If not, yo, its cool I aint gonna take it personally From Anne Landers, to Ani DiFranco to Orphan Annie I love all women, but most of em just cant stand me I dont know, maybe its my hair or clothes ...or maybe she noticed that you was diggin in your nose... Either way its okay, I wasnt tryin to get laid I just wanted to say I hope you have a great day And then she stopped with a smile that began to blush Here, take my number, call me up, Ill come over and make you lunch I got up and headed down towards the book store To check the titles, that my man Michaels got me lookin for My visit was short, cause I just couldnt feel That cat behind the counter actin like Im here to steal So I dipped back out into a cloud of tattoos Pierced body parts and colorful hairdos And I questioned, did Babylon resemble this? Are we getting any closer to the end of the list? A sensuous kiss, placed on apocolips We teach them how to make a fist, but not to resist And Im wondering howd we find this position But people are people and I still love em, especially the women Onwards to the coffee shop, maybe Muddies? for a refill and some Sociological studies See the junkies, while they coexist with the sobers All the bugging of eyeballs, the shrugging of shoulders And thats when I saw her, sippin a water I wanna kiss her mom just for having this daughter Excuse me miss, I dont mean to come across strong But Ive been waitin a while and youve been taking too long And she smiled and I began to blush She asked if Id like to go to the bathroom and make some love And I got visions of us, and the mirror getting steamed And thats the very moment I woke up from the dream [Hook] Woke up, got up, near eleven oclock Butt naked except I was wearing my socks And thats cool, cause most the time this floor is cold Stand up and stretch and look for my soul In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today In tomorrow I see no promise And yesterday was like today
yesterday, today, tomorrow, promise, woke
