Come Around

(album: Layers Of Reflection - 2016)

Hard times yeah they come around
Old friends yeah they come around
Past loves yeah they come around
I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way
Hard times they come and they go
Old friends like where did you go
Past loves are all on your phone
And I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

You're the one who believed in me always holding me down
You always dabbing me up anytime I see you around
Told you all my deepest fears
The demons I lay with
All the high school years we had the deepest conversations
Now we hardly talk, ain't that ironic
You got a girl and disappear, man I'm just being honest
You went from, "Always there" to hardly around
You went from, "Ride or die" to let me ask my girl if she's down
Damn
Bitter for the changes
But everybody ages
Tell me what's a journey with no people you came with
I think about you now and now I'm so bitter I hate it
'Cause if you're hearing this shit I hope you feel what I'm saying
You my mans and you know it
Go live your life and don't blow it
I'm hoping I've been holding on like one day we can be golden
We haven't talked in a while but keep your head out of the rain
I'm here if you need me but no it won't be the same 'cause

Hard times yeah they come around
Old friends yeah they come around
Past loves yeah they come around
I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way
Hard times they come and they go
Old friends like where did you go
Past loves are all on your phone
And I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

You one for the swishes you the boy with them layups
Summer nights talking tours like, "You know I'm going to take us"
You're my brother for sure
Who knows where you're gonna go
But I can't sit back and watch you waste your time with life anymore
'Cause every since you got laid off it's like you laid off of life
You ain't in school, you got no job, but you're balling at night
And every time we talk you're like, "Don't worry things will be tight"
Couple days go by, you hit me up come through a ride
And this is the hardest love to get but I'm not turning my back
But I hate that the fact you like shit will fall in your lap
Like when will you earn
When will you learn
You think I like waiting tables, waiting for tables to turn
But we have dreams that we're running
What's a dream with no funding
Doesn't cost you anything to tell the world that you're coming
So piece it together my man its up to you now
I'm down to bring you up with me, but you're not bringing me down 'cause

Hard times yeah they come around
Old friends yeah they come around
Past loves yeah they come around
I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way
Hard times they come and they go
Old friends like where did you go
Past loves are all on your phone
And I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

Trying to find the better me
The harder times are getting me
Trying to give you all a better reason to remember me
Can't be complacent
When I've been stuck in the basement
Been looking at harder times
But that's the times we facing
Generation of kids
Numb to the heart
I'm trying to save us all but where do I start
Give you what's left of my chest
And I hope for the best
So just give me your hands
And I'll take care of the rest
