Take a Look Around

My wife and I just had our first child
Then I blinked and he turned 5
I blinked again n we got another
Now we raising two loving brothers
Life is speeding by it’s really wild
But I gotta smile ear to ear
Cause I get to share every moment with a pair
Of souls filled with hope and cheer
And it’s so beautiful
I just wish we’d all slow our pace
Put the phones down and look each other in the face
I’m not one to be late or waste time
But you only get one life with no chance to rewind
N everybody’s in such a hurry
Like they wanna skip to the end of their story
I wanna enjoy my journey and be my best
Spread love, n See the world free from the stress

HOOK
Ya gotta slow down and look around
See the colors and hear the sounds
Share a smile and give a hug
Bathe in the sun and spread love.

Verse 2

I try to always drive the speed limit
I got precious cargo in the back
We all sing along to Print’s lyrics
Cause we don’t listen to nuttin’ wack
But everybody speeding by like the flash on the way to fight a villain
Talking on their phones unaware like they don’t care if they get in a car accident and kill innocent children
It’s so crazy
Sometimes we forget to take a breath
obsessed with what’s next
when we should focus on the present cause we’re all blessed
that’s why I spend so much time with my little birdies chilling in our fresh nest
Playing legos and reading books or out back in the garden planting seeds
I want these moments to last forever because the truth is they’re all I need
