K-Rino - Flowers lyrics

Life is fragile man
But we can't play around being
Too big to look somebody
That we love in the eyes and say hey
Man, i love you bro, i love you sis'
Its time we snatching people up left & right
So you got something on your heart to say man
Give the folk their flowers right now man
Yeah right right now let's go

Check on your people if you love 'em
Then you need to show it
How come we wait for them to die
Before we let them know it?
The most important thing to say
To 'em we never say
Took them for granted 'cause you're
Used to seeing them everyday
Neglecting calls so communication went astray
Might not be doing it on purpose
Life got in the way
You're saying to yourself it's cool
I'll catch them later on
And then you find out that they're
Gone now that chance is blown
Man so now your feelings come rushing in
Wishing to hear their voice or for
Their hand to touch again
It's troubling dealing with that
Kind of suffering you had time but with them
Never enough to spend
So now you're at the funeral
Full of regret and tearful
Wasting your time talking to them now
Because they can't hear you
The loving words that they gave you
You didn't give them back
The fact that you didn't tell them
You gotta live with that

Give them flowers while they
Still can smell 'em
If there is a certain way inside your
Heart you feel then tell them
Never hesitate to say it, do it when you can
Don't put no flowers on no casket
Put 'em in their hand

You didn't speak and now the grief
Is tearing you to pieces
So now we printing t-shirts
And doing balloon releases
Candlelight vigils and murals for
A painful reason but never gave that kind of
Attention when they were breathing
Don't get me wrong
I know the life should be celebrated
But we be waiting too late
For them to appreciate it
Now you regret that you didn't tell
'em or send a message
The words that you never express when
They were in your presence
We beef with people and
Relationships are often ruined
Friends and family
We might go years without talking to 'em
Reconciling is something we ought
To start pursuing
Our hearts are moving opposite of
What the thoughts are doing
So now a heavy load of
Guilt is landing on you
Go tell ya partners you love 'em
While they're standing on two
Ego and hesitation got you in a blind mind
Until you see that RIP
Flooding their timeline

Give them flowers while they
Still can smell 'em
If there is a certain way inside your
Heart you feel then tell them
Never hesitate to say it, do it when you can
Don't put no flowers on no casket
Put 'em in their hand

If you ain’t giving them their props
Homie call it running
It’s time to judge nobody for ‘cause
We all have done it
When they was in the flesh
We barely demonstrated love
Now we at the wake
Tellin’ everybody how great they was
All the things they did for us
All the fun you had
Well, where was all of that before
Day would come to pass?
I think of times that I rushed in
Showed no patience with them
Not knowing that would be my
Final conversation with them
And when we go through that
The pain just runs clean through us
Some others never tell our parents
What they mean to us
We thinking backwards and petty so
We need to grow
Hating on your friend but praisin'
People you don’t even know
Don’t wait until it’s over and
You wipe ‘em tears away
Let 'em know how loved and
Important he is today
If it’s somebody that’s special to
You and y'all love 'em
Hear them out to blowing for nothing and
Tell 'em you proud of 'em

Give them flowers while they
Still can smell ‘em
If there is a certain way inside your
Heart you fell then tell 'em
Never hesitate to say it, do it when you can
Don’t put no flowers on no casket
Put 'em in their hand
