Time Flies [LIVE]

Intro: [APPLAUSE] [CHEERS] Yo check it, aight! I wrote this song, in one day, on the metro. Waiting for a train to come so I can go in the city. This song is personal, you’ll see and hear my story of how I lost my father 5 years ago. 1 Day, myself and Nizzlez made a couple remixes to this, but we gon’ stick with the original version. See if you guys know it. Less go! [INSTRUMENTAL STARTS] Chorus: Time flies, we’ve all grown up. Time flies, now the times get tough. Time flies, and we gotta get rough. Time flew by and we didn’t talk enough. Verse 1: Yo check it, look. I learned that time flies when you doin’ stuff you like. I learnt that, harshly one night. One phone call, a life on the line This shit wasn’t what I had in mind. Listen look A friend said the past is called the past for a reason. But the past was sent here on a preaching mission. To teach to love one another, no matter the struggle. Shit, this was how I lost my father. It was one bright sunny day, seaside along the way. Just like that 9/11 Tuesday, a chill day. One phone call revoked my smile, was that easy Made my day from hella free to hella busy. I remember picking up the phone, “Yo dad, how you doin’ back home?” Said he was good but next thing you know He ain’t there no more. Phone shuts off, fuck the signal broke That was the last time I heard him though. Chorus: Time flies, we’ve all grown up. Time flies, now the times get tough. Time flies, and we gotta get rough. Time flew by and we didn’t talk enough. Verse 2: And even now it hurts you know. 5 years ago we was chatting via the phone Now I’m talking alone, to a grave stone. I feel like I’ve gone crazy. Still remember that – day Even though it was kinda shaky. I look around, see kids holding their father’s hand. Wish I could at least chat to mine, in fact Wish I could’ve done something, like an act. To keep you away from the devil’s hand. My god, I thought we had a pact. I preach the truth of what my life feels like. Might be privileged but I got struggles Everybody has them, right? If you wanna listen child, bear with me. Cuz this ain’t the last time you gon’ hear from me. Chorus: Time flies, we’ve all grown up. Time flies, now the times get tough. Time flies, and we gotta get rough. Time flew by and we didn’t talk enough. Time flies, we’ve all grown up. Time flies, now the times get tough. Time flies, and we gotta get rough. Time flew by and we didn’t talk enough. Verse 3: Listen kid, getting real with you. You growin’ up so fast, slow down, would you? Now listen here, you might think this through And say this is just bull. Shit, we don’t swear in the house of God Now pray with me. As I send a message to my pops Who’s up, overseeing me. Yo dad, how you doin’? It’s been a long time since we’ve talked last. Kind of lonely out here, damn time flew by fast. What’s there to tell you. I’ve grown up. But the child inside me doesn’t like the jump. To adult life, wanna still be a kid. Have so much to tell you since god made the split. Bond between father and son never breaks. Sorry that time flew fast and I didn’t pump the brakes. Chorus: Time flies, we’ve all grown up. Time flies, now the times get tough. Time flies, and we gotta get rough. Time flew by and we didn’t talk enough. Outro [SPOKEN]: Remember this one thing from me as you leave the show. God has given you parents so cherish them as long as you have them. Because you never know when you might have to see them go. And when that happens, it’s gonna be a hard pill to swallow.
