Time (feat. Matthew Shultz)

[00:01.68] April 27th, 2019
[00:07.43] I hope you hear, I hope this reaches you, uh
[00:11.34] All the money in the world, I can't find where they selling time
[00:14.24] Or a button that rewind, I'm just thinkin', sippin' this wine, let me catch you up
[00:19.41] It's been some time, let me catch you up
[00:22.27] Yeah, uh, fuck
[00:24.27] I don't know where to start
[00:26.01] But something told me, write this down and just speak from the heart
[00:29.12] It's been fourteen years since I found you all alone in the dark
[00:31.92] But losing you brought us together when it could've tore us apart
[00:34.57] Mom still ain't good, she misses you, she thinks 'bout you daily
[00:37.56] We got a dog after you passed and she nicknamed her Missy
[00:40.60] She lives alone out in New Orleans, she always tells me she miss me
[00:43.49] But such as life, this story's real, it's not a movie by Disney
[00:46.43] She'll probably tell you I wrote a song and put your story inside it, fuck
[00:49.94] I forgot to tell you, I'm like a famous rapper now
[00:52.92] Signed a record deal, I made all of my dreams come true
[00:55.64] I toured the world, made platinum albums and I still stayed true
[00:58.46] It's so much to catch up on now as I think out loud
[01:01.34] When you passed, I was fuckin' up, still I was a problem child
[01:04.39] But we had promises to each other, yeah, I swore and I vowed
[01:07.33] I went to college, I graduated, I would've made you proud
[01:10.17] I'm 'bout to turn thirty, James is 'bout to turn twenty-seven
[01:13.13] He's finding himself still, but I know he'll find that in a second
[01:16.04] He graduated from the same school that I went to in NOLA
[01:19.13] He lives right up the street from moms, it's crazy as he's gotten older
[01:22.18] He's mature beyond his years, he's the best I guy I know
[01:25.09] I find the older I get, it's like the less that I know
[01:27.94] This world's confusing, sometimes I feel all depressed, filled with gloom
[01:31.14] The more and more I understand why you had to hide in that room, fuck
[01:34.37] It's been some time since I had someone I could tell this shit
[01:37.42] Celebrity life is full of everyone expecting shit
[01:40.34] In 2019, life is crazy, and it's evident, wait
[01:43.69] You won't believe this part but Trump was the president
[01:47.07] And Leo finally got his Oscar after all
[01:49.38] And the Warriors were finally the best team in basketball
[01:52.22] Anyways that's all for now, I'll keep it short and sweet
[01:55.29] I'll save the rest until the next time we meet (I miss you, Melissa)
[01:57.55] I found peace
[01:59.84] Hope this moment's brief
[02:02.47] Shaded memories
[02:05.14] I can hardly speak
[02:07.87] I found peace (in our dreams)
[02:10.97] I just grit my teeth
[02:14.13] Through teary eyes, I see
[02:16.73] Smiling back at me
[02:19.68] I found peace
[02:20.61] I found peace
[02:21.74] Yeah, uh
[02:22.99] Been seven months since you left
[02:24.38] Some nights it hits me harder than others, that's when I get depressed
[02:27.27] I play your shit, but I had to stop reading old texts
[02:30.29] I shed tears sometimes still, fuck it, I've been a mess
[02:33.14] Knowing myself, I was too proud to ever tell this to you
[02:36.01] But since you popped out first, I used to be a lil' jealous of you
[02:39.05] I used to hate sometimes, Jameel said, "That's not healthy of you"
[02:41.95] But I was broke and unsuccessful, what you expect me to do?
[02:44.94] See, us two white boys rappin', felt like they would always compare us
[02:48.10] Except you sell out shows across the world from Oakland to Paris
[02:50.93] And I was still at my mom's crib, that means I live with my parents
[02:53.91] I couldn't sell shit out in my town, I was slightly embarrassed
[02:56.91] Fast forward some years, I finally caught up a bit
[02:59.67] I always wonder 'bout that time, like if you fucked with my shit
[03:02.74] And then we finally met in Europe, playing festival shows
[03:05.70] You watch my set sidestage, I try to flex at them shows
[03:08.71] Until I went and watched yours, you burnt that shit down
[03:11.60] We talked shit and caught up afterwards, you fucked with my sound
[03:14.76] We clicked, immediately, time passed in a blink
[03:17.61] Talking shit, I can't believe that was the first time we linked
[03:20.61] What I was going through with Ash', you went through with Ariana
[03:23.50] And you would check in on me daily, help me deal with that drama
[03:26.55] Come to think of it, we talked like every day last summer
[03:29.48] You were like a big brother, crazy that you was younger
[03:32.48] It's, only a dream until it happens to you
[03:35.39] But no one ever told me these things would be happening too, fuck
[03:38.87] Anyways that's all for now, I'll keep it short and sweet
[03:41.95] I'll save the rest until the next time we meet (I miss you, Mac)
[03:44.15] I found peace
[03:46.11] Hope this moment's brief
[03:48.88] Shaded memories
[03:52.25] I can hardly speak
[03:54.18] I found peace (in our dreams)
[03:57.92] I just grit my teeth
[04:00.77] Through teary eyes, I see
[04:03.83] Smiling back at me
[04:06.12] I found peace
[04:07.29] I found peace
[04:08.52] All the money in the world, I can't find where they selling time
[04:11.18] Or a button that rewind, I'm just thinkin', sippin' this wine, let me catch you up
[04:16.43] It's been a while, let me catch you up
[04:18.46] Yeah, uh
