As some may know I have written several songs along this same topic. "Light" moved me and I just had to do a cover version. I am super grateful to Ali for writing this and allowing others to be able to cover his work. Please go and support him, he is an amazing creator and song writer! 🫶-MB ---------------------------- Wasting time, letting life pass by Had a fire once, don’t know why it died If You sent me here with something to prove Don’t let me leave without walking through They all see me as capable of greatness. I still see the light in me in some spaces. But now I’m racing endlessly to make it. Running around in circles, I forgot to taste it. Because if I taste it, I’d realize that it wasn’t made for me. Like that apple in the garden, I was called from the tree. And if I see the people around me, I’d see there isn’t two of me. There is a special complexity. Since I was a kid, they were testing me. It didn’t take them long to question how this mind was so strong. When I was eight, I wrote my first song. She called me Shakespeare. I said, I’m more like John. I came with a message. They heard me wrong because they don’t listen. Since I was eight, I’ve been on a mission. I used to pray before I did addition. A new edition of the same faith, I hope they finally listen. Wasting time, letting life pass by Had a fire once, don’t know why it died If You sent me here with something to prove Don’t let me leave without walking through They all see me as capable of greatness. I still see the light in me in some spaces. I hate it that I just woke up from my daze When I look up I know that Him I failed I had so much he gave me I know I waste it Everyday I don't get up it's a day I disgrace them My family and my friends who told me I'd make it I didn't mean for time to pass by I didn't mean to break it The promise I made my momma it feels ancient Damn me, and all the drugs I shoulda thrown out and all the girls who left me broke out But without the heartache I wouldn't be here Thinking bout how I wasted all these years Maybe I feel too strong, maybe I'm fragile But without that sense, would there be magic? They all see me as capable of greatness. I still see the light in me in some spaces. All the greats they would cry on their own And when I think abou things, I think how I was born As I write this on a paper and then type it on my phone I realize some days it just spills outta me when I'm alone I've got thick bones, but I feel it crack my bones Thank you for all you broke, nobody else will take my soul Yeah I wasted ten years watching life go Watch me reclaim my throne Wasting time, letting life pass by Had a fire once, don’t know why it died If You sent me here with something to prove Don’t let me leave without walking through And when I'm there And when I'm there ama give my momma everything life owes her because everything she did for me, she did to see me grow up into the man she dreamt would make her dance in daisies God, i hope i make you dance in daisies everyday i feel so lucky God made you the world is so much better with you i'll tell your story for generations generational trauma the world ain't fair to you i love you momma but ill keep this song till the time i make it and prove all of em wrong Making time, won't let life pass by Had a fire once, it'll come back alive You sent me here with something to prove I won't leave without walking through Making time, won't let life pass by...
