G-Eazy, Jazmine Blue - Passing By lyrics
[G-Eazy, Jazmine Blue - Passing By lyrics]
Life is hard and it's road is rough
And I'm on my grind but it's not enough
All I do is try, time is passing by
I cry, and look to the sky
The other day I got a call out the blue
A homie that I did know
Grew up with him and see he
Was like my big bro
Then he said you getting big yo keep
It up and never ever quit
I always knew you had a sick flow
He said yo I got some good news
He said you 'bout to be an uncle
I said what you mean I'm confused
He said he just became a father and if
It wouldn't be much of a bother
Wanted me to meet his daughter
Baby moms wasn't cool with him
But he said he wasn't mad
Then he said he couldn't wait to
Be the dad he never had
He wanted to be there for her
Stick around for her
For more than just weekends
Always down for her i said it takes a real
Man to make that choice
But it was clear that he was ready
There was lightning in his voice
Said he was finna change his ways
Past bein' in the hood
And how hustling he left them days
A week later then he called back
His heart racin'
I premature baby born in need of operation
Docs made a lil mistake and he was torn
She had died a week after she was born
True story
Life is hard and it's road is rough
And I'm on my grind but it's not enough
All I do is try, time is passing by
I cry, and look to the sky
I swear the struggle is addictive
You hooked on the path you choose
It leaves a ugly mark on you like bad tattoos
But you can't escape from it
You can't be excused
Where every time I call home
It's just more bad news
And my little partner Justin
The one that really wasn't getting
In no trouble though
'Cause he was really bustin' his ass
Never find him skippin' a class
Working hard for them good grades
Tryin to pass, yeah
He had a grandpa that was
On him 'bout college
See he was always wealthy with the knowledge
A young king above it all
Flyin' doin' his thing
He used to spit a little bit
Of poetry he would bring
Out of his book of rhymes
And now he lost his mind
Another individual sucked into the grind
Droppin' outta school
Lost thinkin' it's cool
Takin' sex to the dome
Just ignoring the rules damn
Life is hard and it's road is rough
And I'm on my grind but it's not enough
All I do is try, time is passing by
I cry, and look to the sky
And I'm on my grind but it's not enough
All I do is try, time is passing by
I cry, and look to the sky
The other day I got a call out the blue
