pat clifton - in good time lyrics

[verse 1]
i look
out onto this lake, i see the reflection of this moon hit
moonlit ripples on the surface got me feeling foolish
childhood memories make me smile, i reminisce
i get lost up in these thoughts, man
i hope this never ends, but, just then
i hear a train off in the distance
brings me back down to the earth
and takes me up out of this vision
remember where i’m at
the shadows in these fears
they’ve always seemed to hold me back
but tonight the night’s clear
and tonight, the light’s near
and i might just rhyme
hand me the mic, this drive
this is sh-t that they can’t steer
eclipse of me right here
between the moon and this pavement
i look deep in my past, man
and wonder just where my days went
flagrant fouls running this court of life
sort of like a new age slave
knowing his way is paved with more than nikes
ignore the hype of the white airs and we might fair
and right then i look across the lake, a shadow’s right there

[chorus]
in good time
maybe we’ll understand
how can we understand what’s right
if we don’t understand what’s wrong
all together while we sing these sad songs
frame of mind
speaks with negligence
how can we understand what’s right
if we don’t understand what’s wrong
all together while we sing these sad songs

[verse 2]
now give me
something from nothing
or something i can believe
i need to have more faith or these mistakes
will eat away at me
please mama pray for me
i don’t think mine are getting through
and if they are, he doesnt listen
the f-ck do i do?
nothing to lose, entrusting nothing to chance
i’ve been burned by the devil when she asked me to dance
and i would
fall from this ledge if i came any closer
i hold my life in a gl-ss that’s just about to tip over
and so if back on that night
before the bottles and the pills finished
and she heard this
maybe sh-t would’ve turned out different
she would have come out swinging and fighting to live
instead of writing letters to her childhood friends
that read:
“im sorry that we grew apart
but you’ll always have my heart
and all these times i had with you
were light when it was dark.”
she signed and sealed ‘em with a kiss
and went about her way
and in the morning her mama mourns her
cuz she won’t live to see another day
but they say

[bridge: ty flemming]
i feel like what we’re here to do
is let those people know that they’re not alone, ya know?
because i think that’s the ultimate the…
like the worst part of it is when you feel that loneliness, ya know?
when you feel like the people who are closest to you
who are the ones that are supposed to kinda understand you
are the ones that think that you’re the furthest off track
because i find when you awake
when you wake up
whatever you wanna call it
that process of starting to understand
and see the things that
you didn’t want to see that you were blind to
i feel like that can be a..
a point in your life
that makes or breaks you
the world takes you and it grows you
but it can also destroy you at the same time

[chorus]
in good time
maybe we’ll understand
frame of mind
speaks with negligence
