Virgil - Timelines

Noticed life come down to timelines
I can read between the fine lines
What a beautiful dream lost in those blind eyes
But I can hear it good baby when the horns cry
Never live your life in hindsight
Keep that vision straight ahead
And get your mind right
I can read between the fine lines
I noticed life and wrong and right come down to timelines

Your smile shines when the sun bright
Growin' up we was some young tykes
Ridin' bikes, takin' hikes, havin' dirt fights
Ballin' day and night
Dropped the rim down to 7 foot 5
You was dunkin' from the sideline
"Boys" Ma cried it was suppertime
Cruising blunts in the summertime
On the top of the world like its an underline
But your underlying fears they stayed on my mind
Your mom was pregnant with a child, and you were 15
While I applied online for different colleges
You were helping raise a girl, think that crushed your dreams
Everything ain't like it seems, you was loosing self esteem
While I went away to school, you was keeping cars clean
Hardly scraping by, when I was home, hit you up to maybe get high

"I'm busy bro, let me know maybe another time"
"how you living" "know I'm good, guess I'm doing fine"
Know that friendships ebb and flow, blame it on the tides
I just thought you needed space, get your feelings right
Always thought I could provide, an easy way for you to shine
A friendly place for you to lean, a shoulder where you could just cry
you was on another path, remember night your car crashed
And you left it on the path, I'm just glad you didn't pass

Noticed life come down to timelines
I can read between the fine lines
What a beautiful dream lost in those blind eyes
But I can hear it good baby when the horns cry
Never live your life in hindsight
Keep that vision straight ahead
And get your mind right
I can read between the fine lines
I noticed life and wrong and right come down to timelines

3 or 4 years since we last spoke
Hit your girl up, make sure you still afloat
It's no joke when I say that I miss you more and more
Wish you was with us at Gauv's wedding tearing up the dance floor
At your core, you will always be a brother, though
Know that distance and the time, helps the thoughts provoke
New emotions from within, and I just mostly hope
That a light shine hella kind on your future bro
