Noname - Yesterday Lyrics






And I know the money don't really make me whole
The magazine covers drenched in gold
The dreams of granny in mansion and happy
The little things I need to save my soul

And I know the money don't really make me whole
The magazine covers drenched in gold
The dreams of granny in mansion and happy
The little things I need to save my soul

Who am I? Gypsy rap
Gypsy need her dollar back
And all of that
My devil is only closer when I call him back
Liquor in a limelight
Look her in the limelight
With fine wine and ecstasy
You can have the rest of me
Basket case silhouette, cigarette, internet
Check my twitter page for something Holier than black death
Who am I, Gypsy black
The vacancy of hallelu
Me hollow in my interviews
Me only wearing tennis shoes to clubs with dress codes
Cause fuck they clubs
Everything is everything
Me Noname, you niggas doing cocaine
Me missing brother Mike, like something heavy
Me heart just wasn't ready
I wish I was a kid again

[Akenya, TheMIND, Noname:]
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday

When I remember memories don't last forever
When I deny my empty with an open letter
Who gon remember me?
My satellite, my empathy
The wheels be chrome, chrome spiffy, the Lord with me
My halo said goodbye and the floor hit me
Fill the lining in the pine box, my granny fill the time slot
"Don't grow up too soon
Don't blow the candles out
Don't let them cops get you"
My granny almost Sparrow I can see the wings
The choir sings
And la da di la di da da da, dah
Only he can save my soul
And I know the money don't really make me whole
The magazine covers drenched in gold
The dreams of granny in mansion and happy
The little things I need to save my soul

[Akenya, TheMIND, Noname:]
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday

When the sun is
When the sun is
When the sun is
When the sun is going down

    Omg yes. 😻

  2. M.... ....

    No name: doesn’t want white people to listen to her music
    Also no name: makes the kinda music white people like
    White people like a very basic sound they don’t GENERALLY SPEAKING like a soulful sound or a hood sound (more today though than they ever have) but white people don’t like soulful sounds, white people only listens to soulful artists when they’re white such as any winehouse and Adele. I’m actually surprised at Lizzos success with white people but like I said white people kind of like more soulful sounding artists now than ever. She should have came out with a WAYYY MORE SOULFUL SOUND THAN THIS if she wanted to attract black people in numbers

    RIP Brother Mike, a true leader for the youth and one of the few who was doing more than a complaint about the issue. It's a shame we lost him so soon and Chicago lost a true artist. Thank you, NoName for not letting our mentor go forgotten. One love from Bronze all the way to Yard, Prayers for Austin and Jeffery, And let them boys put the guns down on Perry and Carnage...all over the Chi

  21. I.... A....

    And I know the money don't really make me whole
The magazine covers drenched in gold
The dreams of granny in mansion and happy
The little things I need to save my soul
And I know the money don't really make me whole
The magazine covers drenched in gold
The dreams of granny in mansion and happy
The little things I need to save my soul

[Verse 1: Noname]
Who am I? Gypsy rap, Gypsy need her dollar back
And all of that, my devil is only closer when I call him back
Liquor in a limelight, look her in the limelight
With fine wine and ecstasy, you can have the rest of me
Basket case silhouette, cigarette, internet
Check my twitter page for something holier than black death
Who am I? Gypsy black, the vacancy of hallelu
Me hollow in my interviews
Me only wearing tennis shoes to clubs with dress codes
Cause fuck they clubs
Everything is everything, me Noname, you niggas doing cocaine
Me missing brother Mike, like something heavy
Me heart just wasn't ready; I wish I was a kid again

[Hook: Akenya, TheMIND, Noname]
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday
Verse 2: Noname]
When I remember memories don't last forever
When I deny my empty with an open letter
Who gon remember me? My satellite, my empathy
The wheels be chrome, chrome spiffy, the Lord with me
My halo said goodbye and the floor hit me
Fill the lining in the pine box, my granny fill the time slot
"Don't grow up too soon
Don't blow the candles out, don't let them cops get you"
My granny almost Sparrow I can see the wings
The choir sings, and la da di la di da da da, dah
Only he can save my soul

[Refrain: Noname]
And I know the money don't really make me whole
The magazine covers drenched in gold
The dreams of granny in mansion and happy
The little things I need to save my soul

[Hook : Akenya, TheMIND, Noname]
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday
When the sun is going down
When the dark is out to stay
I picture your smile, like it was yesterday

    2019 babe our feature will be legendary!
    Mark my words love 💎

  28. L.... S....

    A picture speaks a thousand nouns...
    A Royal priesthood fallen, now rocking death as our crown?
    Tears flowing down my face as she be spitting verses...
    I know it’s true now what they say that we the chosen Kings and Queens,
    but we be living under curses...
    I can only praise Him for his mercy,
    For gladdened hearts inspired by Good News
    The Kingdom coming is a fact, but I heard that’s only for the few...
    If you have the ears to hear my people, then I pray ye beg you do.
    Get on your knees, Repent! before these YOLO days are through.

    Bless up Family.
    All praises to the Most High! 🙏🏾

    The Idiosyncratic Mess ' the lyrical content is kinda sad tho. She expresses her sadness of grandma's death and how that made her realize that fame isn't the most important thing in life
