Testo Live A Little

Yeah, my truck is covered in rust but it gets me where I need to go
And my pops, yeah, he’s still working but he’s moving kinda slow
The day will come, my kids will be grown, ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time [?], let it all go

Oh my, how time it flies and all I know is grind
Dear God, if you hear me, give me a sign because I’m not really tryna waste another minute trying to chase a dime
Can’t afford to spend attention to the lies
I’m staring at the hourglass as the sand keeps slipping
My kids are growing so fast man, I’m tripping
They went straight from from sippy cup sippin' to sending emails
Collecting barbie dolls and seashells to asking me details
I tell the truth, don't know what else to say
I keep praying for balance, there's not enough time in the day
I been at work half my life and part of me thinks it's wrong
I only wanted to keep them safe and keep my family strong

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he’s still working but he’s moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids will be grown ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time [?], let it all go

It's crazy how the time [?] as the present melts into the future until it's something else
I see myself in the mirror, I can hear it loud, voices in my head Saying that I should be proud of all that I’ve accomplished
And honestly, I haven’t stopped much to enjoy what I got
I’m so busy stacking on top to up it a notch
That I forgot to check the time on the clock
I turned around, another year just popped and it don't stop
I've learned that time is valuable down to the minute
Even more precious than gold if you know how to spend it
Day by day as i get older I’m approaching the finish
I need to know my family knows why I did it

Yeah, my truck is covered in rust but it gets me where I need to go
And my pops, yeah, he’s still working but he’s moving kinda slow
The day will come, my kids will be grown, ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time [?], let it all go

This life is short and sometimes it fees like a rollercoaster
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Stay blessed and do your best
Dollar bills keep them lights on
But remember, money ain't everything so make sure the people you love know it
