Time

[Intro: G-Eazy]

April 27th, 2019

I hope you hear, I hope this reaches you, uh

All the money in the world, I can't find where they selling time

Or a button that rewind, I’m just thinking, sipping this wine, let me catch you up

It's been some time, let's me catch you up

Yeah, uh, fuck

[Verse 1: G-Eazy]

I don’t know where to start

But something told me, write this down and just speak from the heart

It's been fourteen years since I found you all alone in the dark

But losin' you brought us together when it could've tore us apart

Mom's doing good, she misses you, she thinks 'bout you daily

Wе got a dog after you passed, and she nicknamеd her Missy

She lives alone out in New Orleans, she always tells me she miss me

But such is life, this story's real, it's not a movie by Disney

She’ll probably tell you I wrote a song and put your story inside it, fuck

I forgot to tell you, I’m like famous rapper now

Signed a record deal, I made all of my dreams come true

I toured the world, made platinum albums, and I still stayed true

It's so much to catch up on now as I think out loud

When you passed, I was fuckin’ up, still I was a problem child

But we had promises to each other, yeah, I swore and I vowed

I went to college, I graduated, I would've made you proud

I'm 'bout to turn thirty, James is ’bout to turn twenty-seven

He's findin' himself still, but I know he'll find out in a second

He graduated from the same school that I went to in NOLA

He lives right up the street from moms, it's crazy as he's gotten older

He's matured beyond his years, he's the best guy I know

I find the older I get, it's like the less that I know

This world's confusin', sometimes I feel all depressed, filled with gloom

The more and more I understand why you had to hide in that room, fuck

It's been some time since I had someone I could tell this shit

Celebrity life is full of everyone expectin' shit

In 2019, life is crazy, and it's evident, wait

You won't believe this part but Trump was the president

[Pre-Chorus: G-Eazy]

And Leo finally got his Oscar after all

And the Warriors were finally the best team in basketball

Anyways that's all for now, I'll keep it short and sweet

I'll save the rest until the next time we meet (I miss you, Melissa)

[Chorus: Matthew Shultz]

I found peace

Hope this moment's brief

Shaded memories

I can hardly speak

I found peace (In our/all dreams)

I just grit my teeth

Through teary eyes, I see

Smiling back at me

I found peace

I, found peace

[Verse 2: G-Eazy]

Yeah, uh

Been seven months since you left

Some nights it hits me harder than others, that's when I get depressed

I play your shit, but I had to stop readin' old texts

I shed tears, sometimes still, fuck it, I've been a mess

Knowin' myself, I was too proud to ever tell this to you

But since you popped out first, I used to be a lil' jealous of you

I used to hate sometimes, Jameel said, "That's not healthy of you"

But I was broke and unsuccessful, what you expect me to do?

See us, two white boys rappin', felt like they would always compare us

Except you sell out shows across the world from Oakland to Paris

And I was still at my mom's crib, that means I live with my parents

I couldn't sell shit out in my town, I was slightly embarrassed

Fast forward some years, I finally caught up a bit

I always wonder 'bout that time, like if you fucked with my shit

And then we finally met in Europe, playin' festival shows

You watch my set sidestage, I'm tryna flex at them shows

Until I went and watched yours, you burnt that shit down

We talked shit and caught up afterwards, you fucked with my sound

We clicked, immediately, time passed in a blink

Talkin' shit, I can't believe that was the first time we linked

What I was going through with Ash', you went through with Ariana

And you would check in on me daily, help me deal with that drama

Come to think of it, we talked like every day last summer

You were like a big brother, crazy that you was younger

[Pre-Chorus: G-Eazy]

It's, only a dream until it happens to you

But no one ever told me these things would be happening too, fuck

Anyways that's all for now, I'll keep this short and sweet

I'll save the rest until the next time we meet (I miss you, Mac)

[Chorus: Matthew Shultz]

I found peace

Hope this moment's brief

Shaded memories

I can hardly speak

I found peace (In our/all dreams)

I just grit my teeth

Through teary eyes, I see

Smiling back at me

I found peace

I, found peace

[Outro: G-Eazy]

All the money in the world, I can't find where they selling time

Or a button that rewind, I'm just thinking, sipping this wine, let me catch you up

It's been a while, let me catch you up

Yeah, uh
