Devlin – Yesterdays News Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- I've been here for a period of time
- So long that my brain has gone delirious inside
- I think back on all the years that I've survived
- Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes
- But now I'm yesterday's news
- And I'm tomorrow's promise but I've got my mince pies
- Open wide trying to visualize devils in disguise
- Devz I'm like Picasso cause I've been through every shade of blue
- I'm walking under rainy skies but the flame never died
- It stayed alive cause I was made to ignite
- Like dynamite I'm from the cold with heavy night
- I'm riding tight notice flows slip and slide
- Like a tire in the snow cause there ain't no grip on ice
- I'm cold in the Moscow when it's minus 29
- So welcome to my life, I've cleverly designed minds
- Lost souls just trying to live the higher life
Chorus
- I've been here so long through the sadness and the blues
- But it's funny how I'm still here, when a lot of men are yesterday's news
- I've been here so long through the sadness and the blues
- But it's funny how I'm still here, when a lot of men are yesterday's news
Verse 2
- Devlin, I'm dangerous I'm dead guys
- And every week forgotten like yesterday's headlines
- I've been through the blues just like Elvis's best time
- But I ain't wearing suede shoes, I've just got the best rhymes
- I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times
- But I'll still rise like I'm the day walker Wesley Snipes
- So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry
- When I witness blood seeking through his veins
- This has become apparent I've got a talent that these other rappers haven't
- So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains
- I'm not sure what you think of other artists
- But if we're talking about bars, you can't speak to me the same
- So cut the conversation cause I've been lower rating
- Taking anything I pleased taking off the aviation
- To a better place in time better for leaving this place behind
Chorus
- I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
- But it's funny how I'm still here, when a lot of men are yesterday's news
- I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
- But it's funny how I'm still here, when a lot of men are yesterday's news
Outro
- I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
- I just need a breather time away from all this stress
- I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
- I just need a breather time away from all this stress
- I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
- But it's funny how I'm still here, when a lot of men are yesterday's news
- I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
- But it's funny how I'm still here, when a lot of men are yesterday's news
