I see my past highlighted by these city lights
My peers after mine
Either that or whatever is creeping after life
See, I'm a man tonight
I see these boys looking joyful with their toys
While I'm grabbing on my Samsonite
As I watch these calendars
Slip through my fingers
I don't wanna meet my maker
Just make my meters And keep them burning
And every day I have I hope they keep me learning
Speaking sermon after sermon
I see them all saluting
Thank me for my service, I did it for me
But it keeps me going on
And you can see what I see
Know an adolescent out there wanna be what I be
There's a price to a young'un
You most likely don't invite
And if they don't have footing
They can slip right in their mind
Torn apart by anxiety and ripples of ill
See I'm seeing it still
Drowning in my thoughts but my body's still breathing 'cause my nephew's still teething and I'd like to see him frequent
Dusting cobwebs on my way to speak to Jesus
Do I even need to tell you that it's raining?
Or can you feel it?
'Cause I can feel it
And if it is then it's flooded my entity
These rivers got me caught between infinities
Open my mouth
And these demons are creeping into me
My lungs are full of sin
It felt better when I had this belly full of gin
It felt better when I couldn't wait for life to end
We had our moments, G
We had a dryer in our hands
I'm thankful every day
I thank our family who kept us going every way
They helped me blossom to this fiend
Thinking I'm a man, I'm a man
So listen close I need to tell you something deep
