Guidance by Jhené Aiko adds an alleviating and thoughtful vibe.

'...Cause you make yesterday (Yesterday)

Not feel so yesterday (Yesterday)

You transcend time and space

Where I've been, you're there, baby

With every step you take (Step you take)

Just know that I'm on the way (On the way)

It's like you didn't leave today

You make far away not feel so
