It's a shame that wisdom only has to come in time
Who's to blame when we lose the ones on our mind
Why are we always working like we on a grind
Take a moment, stop a minute, see the ones alive
The ones alive
I'm feeling like I'm needed in some other place than I am
Im sitting here thinking of how to be a better man
Looking in the mirror used to see a different face
Used to be all hopeful with smiles and filled with grace
Saw the darkness how it changed my outlook over time
Noticed that we are all spinning in a paradigm
But I love it, because it's ours, we can take the stress
Formulated from the hatred and make that shit coalesce
I really just want, the best , for my family
I want to give them every option provided for me
Thankfully, we continually, forming a tighter bond
Always stay hugging, need loving, just to carry on
Keep teaching our children about love and how it carries on
Not embarrassed to put these emotion down in a song
It's a shame that wisdom only has to come in time
Who's to blame when we lose the ones on our mind
Why are we always working like we on a grind
Take a moment, stop a minute see the ones alive
Before they die
Love your life and everyone in it, cause you just don't know
When the clock will stop, game is locked, cease to flow
It's like the water in the ocean just stops in its place
Do tragic and confusing you are ready to embrace
Open arms, is what I am, I'm your lover and your friend
I will always be here to support you right down to the end
That's why I am here for you boo
You are here for me too
Yes this shit is too hard
Heart is so pained, our scars
They build up
But they are not ugly
I had a glimpse of our future
And i'm telling you lovely
Come here baby, come hug me
I know that you are needing some
I have been waiting just keep
The rain from drowning over from
Both of our hearts have run
Many miles in this life
One more dagger got insert
One more dagger deep inside
It's a shame that wisdom only has to come in time
Who's to blame when we lose the ones on our mind
Why are we always working like we on a grind
Take a moment, stop a minute see the ones alive
