Moments
14. artist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep on playing moments back in my head
I got up then hopped right back in my bed
'Member my mama had said
Don't believe cause it sound good when they say it
Niggas gon' bop they head regardless on whatever you playing
Nigga that's life bruh, days been cloudy but my vision brighter
Looking 'round my car like, where the fuck my lighter
Her eyes got bigger when I told her I'm a writer
I thought she was the one but she had turned into a liar
Tryna dodge the snakes until I pull up in a viper
Young but I'm wiser, crazy's what I driver her
Looking for some guidance thumbs up, I'm a hiker
Uncles like jus go and get 'em tiger, I'm trying to
I lost my brudda but inside feel like I'm dying to
Sometime I wish that I was flying too
I really wish I had some arms that I could cry into
Then you grabbed my head I seen your face and you was crying to
Man, you cut me deep surprised that I ain't bleed
Shoulda kept it true because I'm the last of a dying breed
I was losing you cause I was finding me
Tried to run from the pain but it just ended up finding me
A good person's what I try to be
It's hard to see my brudda face on a shirt
Every time I think about it it hurt
I tried to write a verse but thinking 'bout it just made it worst
Feels like my life's in reverse
I'm trying my hardest to not drop a tear when I'm writing
Ima smile but deep down there's some demons I'm fighting
They stand over my at night when I wake up I'm frightened
There was times I ain't go to sleep 'till the sun was rising
I swear the universe got perfect timing
It puts you in the dark to show you how bright you is shinning
Boy you shine like a diamond, man I swear it's so blinding
The weather gon' change regardless just keep on climbing
I'm tryna hide from the lightening
Life getting strange I have seen my family
I'm writing rhymes all the time my hand getting clammy
I'm blasting music at 6 am my mama can't stand me
I haven't even failed at the A to search for a plan B




I haven't even failed at the A to look for a plan B
The greatest in the fucking world is sum' I can be

The fact that the coach was willing to let the guy tattoo on him because the canvas walked out is mad respectful

space._.bunnies

Skylar Skywalker even though he was upset to let him use his skin, but LET HIM USE IT ANYWAYS. That’s so great

Wolfiana🖊️🔮

If I was an tattoo artist and had a customer like him I could be like "Get out, get out and go do it yourself." He was worried that the color won't be ok in long term form his own good and he didn't even listen😒

Yeya

Both in his season and the one when he came back as a coach, Anthony played the game with such grace. Never played dirty. Class act, that dude.

anna anne

He was really not wanting to get a tattoo so the fact that he did it to help out the guy tattoo him showed that hes a complete bro
