[Verse 1]
Yeah
I sit in this room, listenin' to this tune spinnin' on loop
Breathe in this evenin' like I'm livin' anew
Saw this picture of you, it's like you lifted the noose
I'm free from this now, you told me to give 'em the truth
Told me, you owe me, show me the boney kid that I knew
Kid, I grew to a man, spit this shit sicker than who?
Anyone else, speech tight, blisterin' fools
Still missin' you, I'm on a mission to prove it, got the
Heart of a lion each part of me tryin' to give thanks
My niece and nephew are a part of my life and I gotta
Show them the world is theirs, show 'em what matters is
The now, gotta show just what a man their daddy is
[Chorus]
I hear you whisper the time is now (Time is now)
And I feel you lift me when I've been down
All my tears, you with me, you dried them out
Know I feel so gifted, we shinin' now (Shinin' now)
'Cause I hear you whisper the time is now (Time is now)
And I feel you lift me when I've been down (I've been down)
All my tears, you with me, you dried them out
Though I really miss you, the time is now (The time is now), yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hear you whisper, you're gone when I look around
Hear you finish the songs when I put 'em down
Feel you with me, you won't ever let me go
All you given me, I don't forget it, no
Hear you whisper, you're gone when I look around
Hear you finish the songs when I put 'em down
Feel you with me, it's on when I hear the sound
On, they gon' hear me out, on, do you hear me now?
[Verse 2]
I often wonder 'bout God and His ways
Not to dishonour Him, just wanna know if it's possible God makes mistakes
Know you believed in Him, I'd see just how often you'd pray
Is there a chance He got it wrong and you gone in the place
Of someone deservin', someone who murders, somebody worthless
You can't tell me that my brother deserve it; man
I know we all sinners, nobody's perfect, and damn
I try to place the blame the moment, I'm hurtin'
And I can't put a face to it, there's no one to blame for it
Much as I wanna hate someone, just gotta take this shit
So, yeah, my feelings get the better of me
And I know that you don't want that, you expectin' better of me
Expectin' me to go be everything I said I could be
And I will, but I just wanna take a second to breathe
And tell you that we love you, know you still a blessin' to me and I'ma stop the world to show 'em what your memory means
[Chorus]
'Cause I hear you whisper the time is now (Time is now)
And I feel you lift me when I've been down
All my tears, you with me, you dried them out
Know I feel so gifted, we shinin' now (Shinin' now)
'Cause I hear you whisper the time is now (The time is now)
And I feel you lift me when I've been down (I've been down)
All my tears, you with me, you dried them out
Though I really miss you, the time is now (The time is now), yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hear you whisper, you're gone when I look around
Hear you finish the songs when I put 'em down
Feel you with me, you won't ever let me go
All you given me, I don't forget it, no
Hear you whisper, you're gone when I look around
Hear you finish the songs when I put 'em down
Feel you with me, it's on when I hear the sound
On, they gon' hear me out, on, do you hear me now?
[Verse 3]
My words can't do you justice writing them down
Rewrite it, then rewrite it again, I don't know how it sounds
How do I try compound an influence for life in a verse
The dude who taught me how to drive, how to type, how to work
A computer, got a degree in that, admired you, hurt
To not see you in my graduation aisle, the worst
I still remember you and Bridgette buyin' my first
Skateboard for my birthday, I went bezerk
I loved you for that, learnt them ollies in the driveway
I'd hate jackin' your gears for my Friday
Parties and gettin' snapped right when I get them back
'Cause the place I put them ain't the place where you left them at
Remember that? I'm crackin' up to this day
For all that you given us, all you displayed
The more I think, the more I feel its this way
'Cause you really were too good to be in this place
[Chorus]
I hear you whisper the time is now (Time is now)
And I feel you lift me when I've been down
All my tears, you with me, you dried them out
Know I feel so gifted, we shinin' now (Shinin' now)
'Cause I hear you whisper the time is now (The time is now)
And I feel you lift me when I've been down (I've been down)
All my tears, you with me, you dried them out
Though I really miss you, the time is now, yeah
[Outro]
