1) Makale Hawkins, known by his stage name YESTERDAY and formerly by LIL COUPE, is a hip-hop artist from Texarkana, Texas, who is currently based in Los Angeles. Hawkins gained initial popularity in mid-2016 with tracks such as JEALOUSY and OK KOOL, creating plugg music early on in the genre’s development. Several projects under the moniker LIL COUPE were released in 2016, 2017, and 2018, such as Mission Impossible, 187 CUTTHROAT DRIVE, Newborn, WOCKHARDT TEXAS RANGER, and FALLEN ANGEL. In 2021, he rebranded himself as YESTERDAY and released an EP titled DAY AFTER TOMORROW. It took about a year to revise his new sound into a rough prototype of what it is today; thus, INTERIOR MONOLOGUE was born. In October 2022, YESTERDAY released DON’T FORGET 2 BREATHE, a 10-track album further encapsulating and refining his new sound. YESTERDAY is signed to BIGBABYGUCCI’s independent record label, Better Temperatures, and released his first album under the label in February 2023, entitled TOMORROW’S TOO LATE. The album shows much improvement over any of his previous sounds and is a testament to YESTERDAY’s insane work ethic. The dark, ambient drawl in Hawkins' music has continued to attract the ear of fans, and, as he and his Better Temperatures labelmates continue to rise, you do not want to wait until tomorrow to get hip to YESTERDAY.
2) New Jersey-born Jerry Kirwin began the yesterday project in mid-to-late 2016. Initially inspired to learn guitar at the age of nine after playing Guitar Hero, he joined and left a number of bands before embarking up this R&B and Hip-Hop centered experimental project. He then became interested in music’s “emo” subculture, the genre he now describes his music as. yesterday can be heard playing the guitar the majority in his music, and while he doesn’t always produce his songs, he outsources to artists with similar interests, including killedmyself and guccihighwaters. He’s released two EPs: 2016’s the love ep and 2017’s dead man walking.

YESTERDAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost all my friends and now i've moved for college
After jumping states to work and make ends meat
I cant believe and I cant
Predict the future of what comes tomorrow
But its probably filled with laundry and more heart ache
No ones gonna ask how Im doing or who i'm with
I'm just a b side with chips up his sleeve
Yesterdays ending has got me dead and loopy
All I can really say is please excuse
The mess of myself i've made i'm only twenty
But I've seen better days and yesterday was not one
I've done it now i've cut all ties and lost what makes me happy
I hate the sun set as much as when you leave
Cause all that night time ever seems to bring me
Is medicine and cold sheets I don't need
A pick me up I need foods that aren't sweets
I want a girlfriend or someone for company
Any one out there who gets who i am
Just someone to hold cause mornings make me weak
Yesterdays ending has got me dead and loopy
All I can really say is please excuse
The mess of myself i've made i'm only twenty
But i've seen better days and yesterday was not one
And im sorry
I hate who i've become
Im working on changing
Oh I miss when I was young
Every thing hurts on my body
My legs my back and in my chest
My mind is tearing my hearts collapsing
Screaming i'm better off dead
My throats in pain from all this singing every time I ever drive
I hope one day somebody listens
I hope one day I won't have to cry
I punched the steering wheel so damn hard that all my fingers start to bleed
I left a note up on the counter apologizing for everything
When you're a kid no you won't get heart break and mom and dad will seem just fine
The only monsters you'll have to fear are the ones you'll create within due time
Ive learned a lot and loved even more
Ive kicked and strum yea I wrote the score
The morning is what I fear the most
So hold my hand till the morning does come

Lets repeat and wine down i've lost all my edge this week
I'm feeling defeated and need to relax and unwind after a rough week
Lost all my friends and now i've moved for college
I lost touch with my friends and relocated for college
After jumping states to work and make ends meat
I moved to different states to find work and make a living
I cant believe and I cant
I'm in disbelief and feeling helpless
Predict the future of what comes tomorrow
I'm unsure of what tomorrow will bring
But its probably filled with laundry and more heart ache
I assume tomorrow will involve mundane tasks and emotional pain
No ones gonna ask how Im doing or who i'm with
No one seems to care about my well-being or who I spend time with
I'm just a b side with chips up his sleeve
I feel like a lesser version of myself with limited resources
Yesterdays ending has got me dead and loopy
I'm feeling exhausted and overwhelmed from yesterday's events
All I can really say is please excuse
I apologize for my current state and behavior
The mess of myself i've made i'm only twenty
I acknowledge that I'm still young and have made mistakes
But I've seen better days and yesterday was not one
I know that there have been happier times in my life, but yesterday was not one of them
I've done it now i've cut all ties and lost what makes me happy
I've severed all connections and let go of things that once brought me joy
I hate the sun set as much as when you leave
I dread the end of the day as much as I dread losing someone I care about
Cause all that night time ever seems to bring me
I associate nighttime with negative emotions and experiences
Is medicine and cold sheets I don't need
I don't want drugs or isolation to cope with my problems
A pick me up I need foods that aren't sweets
I'm looking for a way to boost my mood that doesn't involve unhealthy food choices
I want a girlfriend or someone for company
I crave human connection and intimacy
Any one out there who gets who i am
I'm searching for someone who understands me
Just someone to hold cause mornings make me weak
I want someone to comfort me because mornings are the hardest for me
And im sorry
I apologize for the state I'm in and how it may affect others
I hate who i've become
I dislike the person I've turned into
Im working on changing
I'm actively trying to improve myself
Oh I miss when I was young
I long for the simplicity and happiness of my youth
Every thing hurts on my body
I'm physically and emotionally exhausted
My legs my back and in my chest
My body aches all over, both physically and emotionally
My mind is tearing my hearts collapsing
My thoughts are consuming me and causing me emotional distress
Screaming i'm better off dead
I'm having suicidal thoughts and feel like I'd be better off dead
My throats in pain from all this singing every time I ever drive
Crying and expressing myself through music is causing physical discomfort
I hope one day somebody listens
I hope someone takes the time to listen to my pain and struggles
I hope one day I won't have to cry
I have hope that my situation will improve and I won't have to cry anymore
I punched the steering wheel so damn hard that all my fingers start to bleed
I acted out in anger and hurt myself
I left a note up on the counter apologizing for everything
I expressed regret for my actions and apologized to those I've hurt
When you're a kid no you won't get heart break and mom and dad will seem just fine
As a child, you don't experience heartbreak and your parents appear invincible
The only monsters you'll have to fear are the ones you'll create within due time
As you grow up, you create your own demons to fear and overcome
Ive learned a lot and loved even more
I've gained knowledge and experienced love in my life
Ive kicked and strum yea I wrote the score
I've pursued my passions and expressed myself creatively
The morning is what I fear the most
I dread facing the day ahead and what it may bring
So hold my hand till the morning does come
I'm asking for support and comfort to get through the tough times

His friends reaction gives me goosebumps. Imagine listening to Yesterday for the first time and by one of your own close friends
@ricshmitz83
This is the only reason I keep returning to this scene. It really epitomises the beauty of the song.
@V_Kint.
Imagine that the thing you said happened when McCartney sing it for first time when he wrote it to some close friends
@whydoesyoutuberequireahandle
What if it happened yesterday?... but your friend has a weird voice and an out-of-tune guitar so you didn't notice...
@kcbondurant7959
I know right.
@Kjleed13
This scene was the first time I heard yesterday. 🤷♂️
@SweetAsianChick1

Now that's just cruel. He's going to be SO embarrassed when they reveal it to him.
Edit: didn't they already make this movie? Truman Show?
