Open Mic Week 44 - ORIGINAL SONG titled "Yesterday"

This is my entry to Open Mic Week 44! Exactly 10 weeks ago I first discovered the open mic here on steemit and I haven't skipped a week yet! Huge thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for continuing this awesome event here. This week I took a hike up into the woods to record a cliffside performance of my original song "Yesterday", which is a blend of acoustic and hiphop.

Yesterday is a song I wrote about following your dreams, more specifically about the limited time we have to do so. It is easy to get caught up in the day to day struggles of life and before you know it, another day is gone and you are no closer to where you would like to be. I encourage all of us, myself included, to try and take better advantage of our time and move in a direction that is beneficial to our long term goals, whatever they may be. Below is the lyrics, I hope you guys enjoy!

"Yesterday" Lyrics

Staring at this empty page, reminiscing about the days
I was just a young'n coming up, it was a struggle, I was puzzled by my role of dice and life was just a struggle
but I made it, hey... I'm so thankful that I found a way
searching for purpose deserving nothing but riches, got dreams of making a come up the sun's up I'm feeling this and
I'm seeing these premonitions of mountains and I can lift 'em, the ceiling is just as high as you're dreaming inside your visions HEY
get your vision up, set the record straight
life is only what you make of it so elevate
stop the hate and brush away what other people think cuz everyday is yours to take, take a breath spit it great
I'm feeling fine got nothing but winning on my mind, hit rewind, play it back, motivate your state of mind
it's time for greatness so just keep your head up to the sky, everyday is just another chance to make it in this life

And I don't know where the time it goes
I don't know what tomorrow holds
All I know is yesterday was far away

Anxious and waiting I've got a dream to chase I'm running
I've been patient, complacent but now it's time for me to run it
all these visions of nothing but love and counting up some money, making something from nothing I swear the time for me is coming up
motivation is building I feel the inspiration, I'mma spread the message to the mass, call it education
class is in session, got lessons, call me Mr. JONEZ, life is what you make it make sure to make it your own though
you'll get older and realize that you were just a clone running with the sheep so long its time to break the mold
shed the whool, shed the dead weight, get away, wolves are at the gate waiting not the time to hesitate
stand up straight, be proud of everything that you became, travel on this road alone and don't you ever feel ashamed
I'm just living like it's my last day alive, smile and keep on going with my head held high

And I don't know where the time it goes
I don't know what tomorrow holds
All I know is yesterday was far away
