Time Separated Us

This another one You know we all got to go someday Nobody knows when Nobody knows in what way It's your boy Eli Israel I'm listening to the beat trying to find how I feel People dying all around that's how life is My homie brother died in a car wreck Make me get this thing called life more respect Cuz any day could be my day I could see it he tried to fight the tears off his face He was like I just talked to him Friday I told him I was going to call back I didn't call back That one more regret I got to live with I already got stress I got a deal with Plus he left his baby mama and his little kid He crying for his daddy but he ain't coming home How the f*** you tell a two-year-old his daddy gone He got to grow up without a father Life twice as harder and that's all before kindergarten as if being black wasn't enough Time separated us you know things change I tattooed your name on my heart We all got to go but you left too soon So when you get to heaven try to save me some room Whoever thought you would be so distant Talking to the clouds hoping that you're listening Right now I'm going through it and I'm missing you I'm on the edge and this is what I thought to do I'm listening trying to put myself in his shoes and when I think about it I was in his shoes I lost my brother to the same tragedy So when I look at him it's like I'm looking at me When I talk to him it's like I'm talkin to me I felt how he feel I can see it how he see I cried the same tears and I felt the same pain Shoulda, coulda, woulda yeah it the same thing I wish I could turn back the hands on the clock To tell you that I love you before your heart stop Ride through the old hood take a spin around the block Drink one last 40 going to kick it with pops Crack one last joke get a chance to say goodbye Smoke one last blunt before you reach the other side It's hard not to cry thinking about what was Wiping tears off my face and it's all just because Time separated us you know things change I tattooed your name on my heart We all got to go but you left too soon So when you get to heaven try to save me some room Whoever thought you would be so distant Talking to the clouds hoping that you're listening Right now I'm going through it and I'm missing you I'm on the edge and this is what I thought to do
