[Verse 1]
Hold the line
Hold the line
There's a whole world of people wanna be where you're going right now
See that, babe
See that, child
Can't imagine what's running through her young mind now
[Chorus]
Again, you've taken something of mine
You're reaching for more than my life
What happened to the man with that big ol' smile?
He's calling to his mother now
[Verse 2]
Take my life
Trade in mine
He had everything that I wish I had, I can't even lie
There goes time
There goes time
And big bruh wishes he could be here right now
[Chorus]
What happened, I see that it's more than a lie
And I've seen this for my whole life
What happened to the man with that big old smile?
I'm calling to my mother now
