Borrowed Time

Intro (low, reflective)

Yeah…

Ain’t nobody tell us it go this fast

Shit crazy

Hook

Life movin’ fast, we was kids just runnin’ wild

Now we talkin’ bills and how to raise a child

Blink once, now my hair got gray in it

Same heart, just a lot more pain in it

We was dreamin’ big, now we just tryna survive

Funny how you grow when you losin’ time

This shit a gift, but it don’t rewind

We just livin’ on borrowed time

Verse 1

Used to ride bikes till the street lights blink

Now I drive past home, too tired to think

Mama had stress in her eyes back then

Now I see that shit when I look in the mirror

Used to want Jordans and video games

Now I want peace and a bigger lane

Back then love was simple as fuck

Now it come with scars and trust issues

We was young with nothin’ to lose

Now it’s kids askin’ what I’ma do

Whole life change in a couple years

Now I’m fightin’ demons I couldn’t hear

I remember nights on that old couch

Talkin’ dreams like we had it all planned

Now them same friends don’t call back

Guess life show you who really your fam

Hook

Life movin’ fast, we was kids just runnin’ wild

Now we talkin’ bills and how to raise a child

Blink once, now my hair got gray in it

Same heart, just a lot more pain in it

We was dreamin’ big, now we just tryna survive

Funny how you grow when you losin’ time

This shit a gift, but it don’t rewind

We just livin’ on borrowed time

Verse 2

I done seen love turn into a memory

I done seen prayers turn into enemies

Married once, now we strangers again

Tryna explain that shit to the kids

Used to chase girls, now I chase a check

Used to want fame, now I want respect

Used to think death was some far-away shit

Now I count days when my phone don’t ring

Got a grandbaby call me “big man”

Make me feel old but it keep me standin’

All them years I was tryna be tough

Now I cry when I see them laughin’

We thought forever was next year

Didn’t know it meant right here

Didn’t know it meant goodbye texts

Didn’t know it meant hospital steps

Bridge (melodic)

Ain’t nobody promise tomorrow

That’s why I drink through the sorrow

Tryna make sense of the past

While I’m runnin’ outta tomorrow

Hook (Half → Full)

Life movin’ fast…

We just livin’ on borrowed time…

Life movin’ fast, we was kids just runnin’ wild

Now we talkin’ bills and how to raise a child

Blink once, now my hair got gray in it

Same heart, just a lot more pain in it

We was dreamin’ big, now we just tryna survive

Funny how you grow when you losin’ time

This shit a gift, but it don’t rewind

We just livin’ on borrowed time

Outro

Yeah…

Take pictures while you can

Love who you got

‘Cause this shit don’t slow down
