Hanami

(album: Quaranta - 2023)

They say age catching up, so I'm running from death
I done walked through the fire, tripping on Heaven's steps
Gotta keep shit moving, time won't stand still
Moving on with my life, can't cry when the milk spill
Rap a young man game, and ya missed ya mark
Probably never win a Grammy or chart on the charts
Should I still keep going or call it a day
All night thinking 'bout dumb mistakes I made
Tell me where you're 'posed to go when it ain't fun no more
If you don't rap, you don't eat, and that's the way it go
Can't have writer's block might be out on the block
Didn't sign up for this it's like I'm punching the clock

Even with all the stress a nigga still feel blessed
Could've end it right there on them Clairmont steps
Even with all the stress a nigga still feel blessed
Could've end it right there on them Clairmont steps

Time wait for no man, so you can't waste time
Can't get time back, time of the time
Time waits for no man, so you can't waste time
Can't get time back, time of the time

Shall I proceed and continue?
Ain't got no choice when the rent due
Know some homie taking penitentiary chances
Don't wanna do it but they kids need pampers
So, what's the answers to the question we all ask?
Forgot what I was saying, let's move on from the past
Life don't last any day, that day
It's your time to time, don't care how much you pray
Put my life in my verse when I'm dead in a hearse
You done read between the lines, see that pain and that hurt
All the trauma, I ain't doing drugs and drink was the cure
Had to send em, make ends, but my soul was pure

Even with all the stress a nigga still feel blessed
Could've end it right there on them Clairmont steps
Even with all the stress a nigga still feel blessed
Could've end it right there on them Clairmont steps

Time wait for no man, so you can't waste time
Can't get time back, time of the time
Time waits for no man, so you can't waste time
Can't get time back, time of the time
Time wait for no man, so you can't waste time
Can't get time back, time of the time
Time waits for no man, so you can't waste time
Can't get time back, time of the time
