Perspectives - Pat D

[00:20.18]Let's take it three years back, or something near that
[00:22.97]Steel city, mango blunts just to hear raps
[00:25.27]And pure relaxing, radio shows
[00:27.51]Before it all packed in
[00:29.31]Talking, laughing, brewing earl grey
[00:31.65]Put a smile on my face on the worst day
[00:33.44]In a blurred haze, sun blazed through the window
[00:35.78]Time seemed to stop and vinyl would spin slow
[00:38.62]As Dennis Brown would sing notes to our hearts content
[00:41.26]Why ain't your heart content?
[00:42.65]Ever since I met you, your presence is a refuge
[00:45.24]It hurts me to think that you need to be rescued
[00:47.68]Cause life is a journey that you just gotta get through
[00:50.07]And I get you
[00:50.87]Your whole aura is beautiful
[00:52.62]It's crazy with you
[00:53.65]Like there's nothing to prove to you
[00:55.54]You're so true too
[00:56.29]Mind switches with the seconds
[00:57.63]You're so grateful when others wouldn't mention
[00:59.87]
[01:00.37]Stop, Stop
[01:01.22]Put it in perspective
[01:02.76]Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
[01:05.30]Think, Think
[01:06.29]About your perspective
[01:07.54]This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it
[01:09.99]
[01:10.38]Stop, Stop
[01:11.32]Put it in perspective
[01:12.62]Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
[01:15.16]Think, Think
[01:16.35]About your perspective
[01:17.60]This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it
[01:20.09]
[01:20.34]Your friendship, means the world to me
[01:22.43]I can't put into words what you're worth to me
[01:24.91]It's hurting me seeing you like this
[01:26.90]Like all of sudden you're just so lifeless
[01:29.39]Then your face lights up and you're back again
[01:31.69]Like your mask's away and you've passed the pain
[01:34.18]You don't have to expalin how you feel to me
[01:36.72]I see it in your eyes, it's so real to me
[01:39.16]I didn't mean to be distant
[01:40.70]I just couldn't see you hurt from this distance
[01:42.99]With you, I listen and I hear wisdom
[01:45.34]So don't be foolish cause life's for living
[01:47.55]And it's easy to say
[01:48.51]But blazing **** everyday has got you fading away
[01:51.15]And now I can't see your rays
[01:53.30]Please shine like you used to
[01:55.34]You still do but you need a new rhythm to move to
[01:58.71]This life soon dismisses
[01:59.51]
[02:00.12]Stop, Stop
[02:01.71]Put it in perspective
[02:02.61]Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
[02:05.47]Think, Think
[02:06.36]About your perspective
[02:07.66]This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it
[02:10.38]Stop, Stop
[02:11.27]Put it in perspective
[02:12.81]Life's negative when you're forgetting all the best bits
[02:15.30]Think, Think
[02:16.30]About your perspective
[02:17.64]This cycle ain't endless, take your hurt and neglect it
[02:19.93]
[02:20.33]You’re so talented. Don’t let that fade
[02:22.42]No matter what you’re going through, don’t let that change
[02:24.82]Cause days… months… years are a progression
[02:27.41]A hundred versions and a million lessons
[02:29.86]So when heaven seems out of your grasp
[02:31.90]Focus on the future and let go of the past
[02:34.79]Cause back when we first spoke you were care-free
[02:37.53]Or was that all an act in order not to scare me?
[02:40.12]I’d barely spent much time in your company
[02:42.40]Then suddenly I thought you were just up and cutting me
[02:45.00]You should’ve trusted me from back then
[02:46.90]I’d have been there when you seemed scared
[02:48.89]You and me’s rare or it was last year
[02:51.03]And I know men don’t cry – they hold back tears
[02:53.52]But so you know you’re a blessing in the past its clear
[02:56.11]Nobody else can match you or in fact come near
