Time Dont Wait
(Would you please turn it back)
(I love ya boy)
(And that's real)
Come home from a long day at work
Went to bed early cause my head started hurtin
Kiss my baby told her I'll see her in the mornin
I was gon lay her down walked up the stairs yawning
I took a knee and thanked the man for another day
Can't sleep good at night if the phone play
Crawled into bed, and I started dozing off
I heard something ringing but I kinda brushed it off
A couple hours past, now I'm in a deep sleep
Felt the phone vibrating, it's a little after three
By the time I got to it, I had missed the call
Then I got a text message said "I love you dawg,"
"And I know it's kinda late but I wanna talk"
"But when you got a minute, just give me a call"
I was still kinda tired, so I didn't pay him no kind
Said "I'ma hit him back when I got the time"
But the time didn't wait on me
Naw, the time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
A whole hour later, now my phone on ring
An Octavius name came across the screen
I picked the phone up and I said hello
I knew something was wrong, he ain't answer me
I heard somebody sobbing in the background
And he said "Lathan man, they gon gunned him down"
"They done killed lil cuz in the middle of the street"
"Where you at, and a quick can you get to Tennessee?"
I said "calm down whatchu talkin bout"
He said "toon the day they done took him out"
I paused for a second cause I really couldn't believe it
And then I dropped the phone cause my heart stopped beating
When you gotta chance better tell 'em that you love 'em
If you ever lost someone then you know the struggle
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time
I gotta talk to God just to keep from crying
Cause the time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
The time didn't wait on me
When you gotta chance better tell 'em that you love 'em
If you ever lost someone then you know the struggle
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time
I gotta talk to God just to keep from crying
Cause the time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
The time didn't wait on me
I crawled outta bed, I was so confused
Then the tears started fallin, what was I to do
I couldn't think bout nothing but retaliation
From the anger built up
God told me "boy don't be a fool"
I just wish I took the time
To hit him back when he needed me the most
I went back into bed, and I grabbed my son
Held on tight, don't wanna let him go
To this day I still think about it
But my relationship with God given me the peace
If you ever lost somebody that you loved
I don't think the time hear, cause it didn't for me
Only God took away all of the pain
I couldn't do it so I called on His name
But the time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
When you gotta chance better tell 'em that you love 'em
If you ever lost someone then you know the struggle
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time
I gotta talk to God just to keep from crying
Cause the time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
The time didn't wait on me
When you gotta chance better tell 'em that you love 'em
If you ever lost someone then you know the struggle
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time
I gotta talk to God just to keep from crying
Cause the time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
Time didn't wait on me
The time didn't wait on me
(I love ya boy)
