Memories

I can't make the dreams go away
But my memories might fade
I've been running on fumes for the past three years
5 hour sleep, 5 days of the week
Kept my head above water
Even though I don't know how
Slowly learning how to swim
And hoping I don't drown
I guess that, Death just scared me more than I thought it did
I guess that's why, I'm out here tryna live like I'm losing it
I guess that's why, I occupy the moments I rarely get
I guess that's why, I'm going for the goal, leaving no regret
And to capture every moment in the sea of my eyes
I don't care to wipe the tears, for now, you just let them dry
And let the waves crash
I see I've always had some trouble with balance
Indulge in the material, but it none of it matters
Can't see inside the hourglass, I gotta move faster
To hold the vastly infinite, but none of it's matter
I can't make the dreams go away
But my memories might fade
It's hard to balance
The world, My time, my friends
my boys, my girl, my fam
My dream, my bills, myself
I Think I'm needing some help
If I'm tryna save it all
Then I can start with my health
And not worry the folks
And while I'm at, Bro
I'm sorry for not calling you more
I guess, you're always out there working, I'm not faulting you though
I still remember all the moments that we share when you're home
All this to say, I'll see you soon and I'll be visiting more
That way we got each other's backs before the day our folks gotta go
But Ima keep 'em safe there's nothing more you gotta say
My momma talks about only every single day
My dad, he said he's proud of you, could never be ashamed
I'll try to be a better man so you can feel the same
I can't make the dreams go away
But my memories might fade
And to my Cousins, that title could never be enough
You Raised me like a brother and help your boy to toughen up
It's all love, unspoken, I'ma speak though
I'm glad to see us cultivating bonds as we grow
It's up to us keep the family connected
I see the way it is going and
we're keeping the blessings
No stressing the lives we've invested
Cause some families feud
I'm just glad that we're the ones with a friendship
You boys are like my brothers, and I mean it, no mistake
I'm proud of everyone of you and man that you became
Appreciate the invite even when I miss a date
We're growing from the soil, so we never mind the rain
And If we have a problem chalk it up to growing pain
I got your backs for anything, I know you feel the same
We're headed to the top and that's the place we're gonna stay
We put that on the family, one day we're gonna reign
One day we're gonna reign
One day we're gonna reign
