Perspectives

Let's take it three years back, or something near that
Steel city, mango blunts just to hear raps
And pure relaxing, radio shows
Before it all packed in
Talking, laughing, brewing earl grey
Put a smile on my face on the worst day
In a blurred haze, sun blazed through the window
Time seemed to stop and vinyl would spin slow
As Dennis Brown would sing notes to our hearts content
Why ain't your heart content?
Ever since I met you, your presence is a refuge
It hurts me to think that you need to be rescued
Cause life is a journey that you just gotta get through
And I get you
Your whole aura is beautiful
It's crazy with you
Like there's nothing to prove to you
You're so true too
Mind switches with the seconds
You're so grateful when others wouldn't mention

Stop, Stop
Put it in perspective
Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
Think, Think
About your perspective
This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it

Stop, Stop
Put it in perspective
Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
Think, Think
About your perspective
This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it

Your friendship, means the world to me
I can't put into words what you're worth to me
It's hurting me seeing you like this
Like all of sudden you're just so lifeless
Then your face lights up and you're back again
Like your mask's away and you've passed the pain
You don't have to expalin how you feel to me
I see it in your eyes, it's so real to me
I didn't mean to be distant
I just couldn't see you hurt from this distance
With you, I listen and I hear wisdom
So don't be foolish cause life's for living
And it's easy to say
But blazing **** everyday has got you fading away
And now I can't see your rays
Please shine like you used to
You still do but you need a new rhythm to move to
This life soon dismisses

Stop, Stop
Put it in perspective
Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
Think, Think
About your perspective
This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it
Stop, Stop
Put it in perspective
Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
Think, Think
About your perspective
This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it

You’re so talented. Don’t let that fade
No matter what you’re going through, don’t let that change
Cause days… months… years are a progression
A hundred versions and a million lessons
So when heaven seems out of your grasp
Focus on the future and let go of the past
Cause back when we first spoke you were care-free
Or was that all an act in order not to scare me?
I’d barely spent much time in your company
Then suddenly I thought you were just up and cutting me
You should’ve trusted me from back then
I’d have been there when you seemed scared
You and me’s rare or it was last year
And I know men don’t cry – they hold back tears
But so you know you’re a blessing in the past its clear
Nobody else can match you or in fact come near
