[Verse 1: Rowlan]

I got this offsetting uncomfortable energy on my mind

I been at this seven years and watch family fall behind

I’m losing touch with my people

I’m growing good with the bad

I’m thinking less about others

Should I reach out to my dad

He missed, my whole childhood, who's really the victim

When I get rich I’ll fly him out, and say the 3 year old missed him

I never knew him as a man and I ain't prepared to lie

I just want his conscious clear, in case we meet in the sky

We won’t be father and son

Although we look just alike

Let's have a friendship

Man to man, and just catch up on this life

Its crazy

Crazy things alot of nonsensical feelings can haunt you

Just know that if I bring up the past it's not to taunt you

It never was, well maybe before

But now, I’m truly happy, and I’m actually mature

I understand things happen

And it's all love either way

I’m a product of yo decisions

At the end of the day


[Chorus: Rowlan, Diana Inez]

It's not a time, no

It's not a place, no

It's not the season

Give me some space

It's not an maybe

It's not a how

It's a what if

They ain't feeling me now

2x

If I told you all the things that was on my mind

If I told you all the things that was on my mind

If I told you all the things that was on my mind

You’d go crazy, crazy, crazy


[Verse 2: Rowlan]

Yeah I know, my vision ain't flawless

But I was raised by radio

When moms bronco was stalling

Slim shady, DMX, 50 Cent, and some Biggie

Got me through dark times I feel they went through it with me

I guess, to full circle Dad

The blame ain't directed

In your direction

I never stopped and blamed some neglection

I blame nothing on a thing

Things happened so well

I thank God every chance

I love how everything fell

I love how everything feel

Love when the struggle is real

I love when the people are fake

Love the excuses they make

Love when they say I ain't great

Love when I make a mistake

Love it alot when they love me

But love it most when they hate

I’m great


[Chorus: Rowlan, Diana Inez]

Its not a time, no

Its not a place, no

Its not the season

Give me some space

Its not an maybe

Its not a how

Its a what if

They ain't feeling me now

2x

[Verse 3: Rowlan]

Swear Destiny stuff is crazy

Leave me thinking I am too

I wrote this song last week

And guess who hit me out the blue

I was gonna ask my sis

Ashley, if she could get in touch

Then I received a voice mail

From my father man life is nuts

I’m convinced, everything happens all for a reason

Spoke to my dad and got caught up on a couple seasons

Talked for a few, we good, but will it ever be normal

And if they made a time machine dad, would you walk through that portal?


[Chorus: Rowlan, Diana Inez]

Its not a time, no

Its not a place, no

Its not the season

Give me some space

Its not an maybe

Its not a how

Its a what if

They ain't feeling me now
