Lyrics to "Time I Wish I Had"

(Hook)
Time that I wish I really had I only wish about the things I never had here.
Time that I wish I really had I only wish about the things I never had here.
Time that I wish I really had I only think about the things I never had here.
Time that I wish I really had I only think about the things I never had here.
Time that I wish I really had I only wish about the things I never had here.
Time that I wish I really had I only think about the things I never had here.

Verse 1
I lost my brother
I'm losing my mother
Trying become a new man, and that's a father
Take care responsibilities and that's my daughter
I'm trying to get out boy and hustle way harder
Stacking up my money and the mountain getting taller
I can reach to the top cuz I'm a real baller
Nothing can't stop me I'm unstoppable
Females try to eat my mind I'm not edible
The more money I get the more respect I get
The more respect I get, the less tech I spit
Boy you better watch out boy you better watch out

Verse 2
I reminisce about the times that I had wit my pops
Holding it down for his little g until he got shot
Put yourself in my shoes can you feel that thought?
Life sucks being raised wit so much pain in your heart
Growing up in the hood wit so much things in the way
Being down for whatever to survive and get paid
Holding on to all my memories to get through the day
I'm a stay getting wavy till my mind just stray
Don't forget my dead homies man I miss them to death
The good time that I had adds on the stress
I feel as it was yesterday them days were the best

Verse 3
High up in the rank dudes know my position
Hand right on the one know that the clock ticking
World straight drifting and brothers acting real twisted
Things straight timid so something really just missing
Member when grandma was cooking in the kitchen
Talking about my problems and my decision
Now she up in heaven looking down at my life
Because things ain't right now I spit on the mic
Looking down at god he could show me the way
Dudes is leaving and pleasing and I'm living today aye
