I used to feel
I used to feel I had all the time in the world
As far as I was concerned
I was hardly concerned
I always observed but
Never minded the curve
Never let a stone go unturned
Holding yourself accountable is
The hardest lesson you learn
I used to feel I had all the time in the world
Until I saw my homies start to vanish
Family members passing
Steadily start to panic
Cuz Google don't got the answers
To the questions you be asking
Processing thoughts darker than Manson's
Attitude like Iverson talking about practice
Talking my actions and
The consequences of getting complacent
The type to run an extra lap to cover my bases
Out here grinding for my aces
Make my way thru the matrix
Without the guidance of Morpheus
Survive in the desert living off of scorpions
I'll walk out the office of Dr. Kevorkian
Sporting a body bag
Pulling a drag off a cigarette
Are you feelin me yet
Brothers
What we do life
Echoes in Eternity
A mortal in his youth
Don't feel normal in the shoes
He's grown into
Kept it cordial when the truth
Leaves something to be desired
Know the feeling can't survive
With or without it
Not enough to feed the fire
Need a lifetime supply
Or enough until I die won't
Flourish in their eyes but otherwise sew
The seeds fallen from the breeze calling my name
Urging me to go out and catch it again
But never caught it to begin with when glimpses obtained
Of a better pleasure ever
So quick to replace
Dreams, goals, and ambitions since given a taste
Folks picking my brain
After picking the same
Endeavors that fumble the bag
Quick to the grave
Kick the bucket til I'm blue in the face
Choosing my fate
So the fact that could be me any day
Or how close I've came Should compel me to change
