Flowers

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Hook 2x] 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 [Verse 2] 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 R.I.P flooding their timeline [Hook 2x] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Hook] 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 (2X) 💐
