[ar:--]
[00:22.912]Writer's  block,sick  of  grippin'on  this  damn  pencil
[00:36.726]Messin'with  this  man's  mental.I  need  to  take  a  break.
[00:37.351]I  got  simple  symptoms  of  a  man,gentle
[00:37.788]Stressing 'cause  my  fam'miss  you.I  need  to  see  your  face
[00:41.414]On  the  Grand  Central,navigation  telling'me  to  drive  slow
[00:41.976]Thinkin'about  all  of  the  places  I  roam  and  people  in  my  home
[00:44.352]I  wanna  know  why  they  come  and  go
[00:47.602]Why  I'm  getting  all  these  thoughts  the  piano  and  the  drum  evoke
[00:49.414]I'm  reminded  of  the  first  time  we  spoke,how  you  loved  the
[00:51.665]First  rhyme  I  wrote,except  the  curses,but  you  loved  the  jokes
[00:55.165]How  you  told  me  nights  I  wasn't  actin'right
[00:58.727]Never  letting  me  take  some  bad  advice,we  had  our  fights,but
[00:59.478]It's  like  your  life  was  meant  for  you  to  be  my  mentor  and  my  guardian
[01:01.164]These  feelings  that  I  never  want  to  enter  in  my  heart  again
[01:01.854]Are  seeping  in,I'm  weakened,I'm  alive  but  I'm  cold
[01:02.416]I  imagine  you're  my  passenger,reminisce  on  the  road,back  through  time
[01:07.502]（Chorus -Anika）
[01:09.03]Time,Time  Goes  By
[01:09.690]Still  I  cry
[01:16.628]Reminiscing 'bout  you
[01:18.753]And  at  night,I  close  my  eyes
[01:23.879]And  ask  why
[01:26.940]I  have  to  live  without  you.
[01:30.254]（Verse 2-Hydroponikz）
[01:32.505]First  Michael  Jackson  passes,now  every  day  I'm  askin'
[01:34.630]Why  weren't  you  able  to  stay?
[01:36.966]Days  are  only  kind  of  better,so  I'm  writing  you  this  letter
[01:40.881]Full  of  things  I  never  got  to  say.
[01:42.881]First  and  foremost  I  love  you  and  that  never  changes
[01:45.631]When  you  left,I  couldn't  gauge  it,the  pain  was  outrageous
[01:48.756]But  now  it's  kind  of  strange,you  help  me  get  through  the  days  just
[01:52.194]By  thinking  of  your  face  and  reminiscing  through  the  pages
[01:54.257]Everything  I  wrote  and  that  I'm  saying  on  them  stages
[01:57.633]I'm  passionate,I  hear  your  laugh  again  and  little  traces
[02:00.883]Of  your  smile  flicker  through  my  closed  eyes,
[02:03.446]Wishin'I  could  nose  dive  in  your  heart's  ocean  and  just  float  by,
[02:06.634]Who  knows  why  I  feel  the  way  that  I  do
[02:09.759]I  got  more  to  say  but  I  think  that  I'll  just  save  it  for  you
[02:12.759]For  that  first  day  we  meet  again,the  stories  will  be  told
[02:15.634]We'll  be  drivin'through  our  lives  and  reminisce  on  the  road,back  through  time
[02:18.635]（Chorus -Anika）
[02:39.642]（Verse 3-Hydroponikz）
[02:40.579]Writer's  block,sick  of  grippin'on  this  damn  pencil
[02:44.205]Messin'with  this  man's  mental.I  need  to  take  a  break.
[02:47.455]I  got  simple  symptoms  of  a  man,gentle
[02:49.143]Stressing 'cause  my  fam'miss  you.I  need  to  see  your  face
[02:56.140]（Chorus -Anika）
[03:27.518]（Bridge -Anika）
[03:30.456]Reminiscing  on  the  better  days,close  my  eyes  and  its  like  I  can  see  your  face
[03:33.956]Grandpa  always  had  a  joke,I  remember  like  it  was  yesterday
[03:36.394]Last  night  when  I  fell  asleep,I  dreamed  you  were  here  right  next  to  me.
[03:38.457]We  were  young  playing  in  the  street,just  kicking  it  old  school  like  this  beat （this  beat）
[03:42.395]Best  friend  always  had  my  back,always  real  and  Im  really  grateful  for  that
[03:46.520]Good  friends  from  back  in  the  days,so  no  one  can  every,every  take  your  place
[03:50.708]Seems  like  all  my  inspiration  is  moving  and  leaving  and  passing  on
[03:57.21]Bright  stars  that  inspire  me,touch  my  life  and  next  minute  theyre  gone
