Why I chose Royal – tee ‘better than yesterday’

Why I chose Royal – tee ‘better than yesterday’



I decided to choose ‘better than yesterday’ as the song for our music video because the song has an actual meaning and a message, most generic rap music of the 21st century Is about money, drugs, women etc. so finding something with a positive meaning to it was what I decided to do. Royal – tee made a song about making today better than yesterday which is inspiring, this is why I feel I can make an inspiring video to match. An idea for the music video was to have someone’s today and yesterday recorded, the ‘yesterday’ version could be in black and white whereas the today video will be in colour but edited to make it brighter which will emphasise the fact that today is better/brighter than yesterday. Another idea was to have someone playing the piano to match the music but the hands will be covered with green screen gloves which will make the playing hands look invisible so you just the piano keys moving by itself, while this is happening the music video will be projected onto the piano itself so that the narrative part of the video is in the performance part of it, the potential target audience is quite broad as it can effect a lot of people weather they are young, old, black or white because making today better than yesterday can relate to everyone.

lyrics to royal tee' - better than yesterday

Lyrics
Peace world
New day, new mission
Go for yours
Good morning, where the breakfast at, I’m starving
Pour me up a glass of simply orange, you know the routine
I only vibe to the classics, they marvel
That’s how I get the day started
Finish up this food, open up the blinds in my bedroom
And let the sunlight shine through
Playing for the homies ‘cause I understand you gotta climb, fool
I’m 100% behind you, we do this for a higher purpose
The lower homie say he tired of working
Soon it will pay off, it’s all worth it
Just need that positive push, going to jail is a horrible look
Stuck in the game, stay surrounded by crooks
Don’t watch the news, it keeps me stressing and depressed
That news hurts my soul like a lump in my chest
Don’t get discouraged lil’ homie, we blessed
Everything you going through now, it’s only a test
See, I’m just tryna make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Every time I’m chilling with pop Dukes I get inspired by his stories
Peace to all the fallen soldiers that came before me
He always say it was the good old days, this four beers kinda remind you of Frankie and Maze
The grey hair represents wisdom, we living
The world is yours, son, and can’t nobody tell you different
Soaking up the game like a sponge, can’t forget my day one
This is where I came from, they told me I was special
My brother used to hustle sun up to sun down and said I better not get you
Look me in the eye, said this ain’t for you, find something better to do
Like focus on your future
I represent the people, I’m coming with an army
Forget what they saying ‘cause your comments will never harm me
I would’ve been saying something if I needed your help
But everything you niggas offering, I do for myself
Try to make a strong connection so my presence is felt
My mentality is get it yourself
Fresh daily, salvage denim with the cuff and my runaway chucks
Just to show it off in public, it’s a must, we live it up
Fast bucks, stack it up, share the wealth with the team, living the African American dream
Gotta stay on point and keep your game intact
Sometimes it could be your own people holding you back
Or maybe it’s you, I mean maybe it’s you
I say you gotta stay on point and keep your game intact
Sometimes it could be your own people holding you back
Or maybe it’s you, I said maybe it’s you
I say you gotta stay on point and keep your game intact
Sometimes it could be your own people holding you back
See, we’re just tryna make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Let’s make today
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
