Life Speed

(album: Melodic Therapy 4 The Broken - 2022)

Life moves at a speed moving fast uh huh
I can see my past through the dash uh huh
(Oh you know that life speeds fast)
That liquor do me bad I might crash out

My mama can't speak when I ask her
Heart disease turned me to a bastard
(Can we stop time and reach back)
Lord can you please answer my question
Ohh ohhh ohh
Lord can you please answer my question
(Oh you know you know that life speeds fast)
Sliding in the rain driving reckless
Ohh ohhh ohh uh
Lord I'm just asking, requesting
(Oh you know that life speeds fast)
I might hydroplane got no traction

Slow down can life slow down
Trying to take it in but I don't know how
I got Hennessy on ice I need more rounds
Went to see my mama she made no sounds all smiles
Oh Mama had a stroke 'front of her daughter
My sister opened up she said it scarred her
But it's so hard to see
It's hard to believe
Hard times bob and weave
It's hard to grieve
When you're the man of house
That mean every word out yo mouth
Is to lift em up when they're down
Is to pick em up when they fall down

Life moves at a speed moving fast uh huh
I can see my past through the dash uh huh
(Oh you know that life speeds fast)
That liquor do me bad I might crash out

My mama can't speak when I ask her
Heart disease turned me to a bastard
(Can we stop time and reach back)
Lord can you please answer my question
Ohh ohhh ohh
Lord can you please answer my question
(Oh you know you know that life speeds fast)
Sliding in the rain driving reckless
Ohh ohhh ohh uh
Lord I'm just asking, requesting
(Oh you know that life speeds fast)
I might hydroplane got no traction

Phone ring, pops took his last breath
Needing a new heart
Needed a start, a transplant needed a heart off the top shelf
A pace maker he got a knot there
Tears roll when I came home my mama cried
She say I look just like my pops I can't look in her eyes
My sister breathing in a brown paper bag
Mama couldn't make the funeral it's way too sad
Every time I think about it
I pour up and drink about it
Lil bro and sister need some knowledge
Glad my oldest sister went to college

Life moves at a speed moving fast uh huh
I can see my past through the dash uh huh
(Oh you know that life speeds fast)
That liquor do me bad I might crash out

My mama can't speak when I ask her
Heart disease turned me to a bastard
(Can we stop time and reach back)
Lord can you please answer my question
Ohh ohhh ohh
Lord can you please answer my question
(Oh you know you know that life speeds fast)
Sliding in the rain driving reckless
Ohh ohhh ohh uh
Lord I'm just asking, requesting
(Oh you know that life speeds fast)
I might hydroplane got no traction
