[Intro]
Shit
Trying to get it right just one more time
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
The fact that you can pray for a blessing is a blessing
Think about it my nigga, I know it's cloudy my nigga
But open your eyes and be aware, your surroundings
You ain't drowning, man, you forgot how to float
So you feel like the water's rising
Really when the only thing that rises is the sun
By the time I turned 21 I was paying for shit I done when I was younger
Spent so many summers on the treadmill, we was running
The progress was stunted, we still thought we were stunting
I thought about your ass the other day
The bro I always wanted, right or wrong
I learnt my ways from you
Across the street where I stayed from you
Hardly went outside to play
We was tryna' figure how to make a play
I ain't hoop, I was tryna' get in the game like Jay
Michael Jordan wasn't important, we ain't need them rings, no
I ain't a street nigga, is the street that I'm from
Don't produce no weak niggas
It was a couple times I got my ass beat ,but you still held me down
Showed me how to stand my ground but that's all I seen after a while
Concrete ceilings had me feeling confined
Find the time to put my nigga to the side
Got tired of to lyin to my mama
I just needed to clear my mind
And now I'm rapping and they say your ass done pulled a weapon
I'm tryna' make a record, and I heard you got arrested
I reminisced and wrote this letter, I won't forget about my nigga
No
Never
[Hook]
Time go by
I reminiscing as she pass
As out lives go by
I get to get it right just one more time, no moving fast
If I'm sleeping or going slow, I can't do nothing when she pass
Tryna' grow, what I ain't know
I hope one day I understand
My nigga
[Verse 2]
Ay, this for my nigga
Can't recall out last conversation
I know that's fucked up, but I swear I won't forget
The time you gave me a couple words on progression
And that time it takes to find your inner peace
It's all a test, and every second is a blessing or a lesson
Felt your spirit in the wind the other day
A man may leave this earth, but if he real his words will stay
To pave the way, so till I lay down for the last time
I ride for all the ones who chose to stay down
And my niggas that I lost along the way
Lost my nigga Tre, lost my nigga Ace and P just lost his case
It's like I'm watching from the other side, a smile upon my face
It's hard to find, most of the time I'm trying to block my crying
These ain't tears of joy, nigga, these are tears of pain
But I just wipe my eyes
Life is temporary, every move is permanent
Better be quick to learn it, it's either fly or die
Nothing's for certain, the only thing for certain
Tipping slow, watching all my steps
Tryna' follow God until I follow death
And see my niggas
[Hook]
Time go by
I reminiscing as she pass
As out lives go by
I get to get it right just one more time, no moving fast
If I'm sleeping or going slow, I can't do nothing when she pass
Tryna' grow, what I ain't know
I hope one day I understand
My nigga
[Verse 3]
Life materialize, every time I open my eyes
Hopeful for another 24 hours of breath, I thank my God
Cause it's been days, I was wasteful to the thought of going on
I'd be selfish to end it now
Cause can't nobody figure it out
That's the beauty of life, just as we living it out
Yesterdays mistakes make a better today
If you choose to let it shape that way
I was inspired by someone who said I made their day
Said my music kept them out the grave that day
I was amazed to hear it
Shit, cause if he only knew I only wrote the song
Cause I was feeling the same way as him, shit
I gained a different perspective
We may come from different directions, but we share the same stress
Share the same blood, breathe the same breath
On a different path but we take the same steps
[Hook]
As the time go by
Time go by
I reminiscing as she pass
As out lives go by
I get to get it right just one more time, no moving fast
If I'm sleeping or going slow, I can't do nothing when she pass
Tryna' grow, what I ain't know
I hope one day I understand
My nigga
