He interacts with the listener a...
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna talk about
News and who's dying
Or new shoes you trying
I don't wanna talk about
New dudes you eyeing
Who's true and who's lying
I don't wanna talk about
Money, sex, cars and clothes
Lets talk bout something other
Than your foes
Cause I don't wanna talk bout murder drams
Especially this early on in my journey
That ain't for me bruh
Blinded by money homie or so it seems
Coveting dough and greed
I think there's more to see
Cause this life got so many opportunities
Maybe there's enough of it for you and me
I ain't tryna talk bout negatives
Its repetitive
And it ain't helping with
Reaching my goals
Ain't tryna talk bout giving up
Cause while you sitting
I'm here thinking bout a way I could open doors
[Chorus]
Let's talk about love, life and living
Let's talk about rough times and visions
Let's talk about something Ill remember when you're (dead and gone)3x
Something that'll make your presence (carry on) 3x
Let's carry on
[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong sometimes I talk about the smaller things
Sometimes I think its all about the hall of fame
Sometimes I do get caught up in the thought of fame
Making it and thinking damn will everything be all the same?
Sometimes I do get distant from the ones I love
I guess my ego is my biggest drug
Sometimes you get so focused on the bigger picture
You forget to pay attention to the little stuff
That's why I'm missing stuff
Reminiscing when I was seven
Obsessed with completing puzzles
Guess I had a hunch
That life was a jigsaw
Waiting to be discovered
Once we realized that we need each other
Ain't it funny that we over look the subtle signs
Then try to learn our purpose like its hard to find
20/20 vision yet its funny cause we all are blind
I guess we'll all remember at the finish line
[Chorus]
Let's talk about love, life and living
Let's talk about rough times and visions
Let's talk about something Ill remember when you're (dead and gone)3x
Something that'll make your presence (carry on) 3x
Let's carry on
[Bridge]
And now a days I swear we scared of emotion
We're scared to fall in love again, were scared of being broken
We're scared of losing everyone
We're scared of growing lonely
And we're scared of letting go so we let grudges make us cold
And its funny cause we act like we cold blooded, made of stone, that we thugs
That we rugged, like we born with out a soul
And Im done with the stunting cause I know I ain't alone
Let's be human once again
Let's go back where we belong
[Chorus]
Let's talk about love, life and living
Let's talk about rough times and visions
Let's talk about something Ill remember when you're (dead and gone)3x
Something that'll make your presence (carry on) 3x
Lets carry on
