[Intro]
Life is fragile man
But we can't play around being too big to look somebody that we love in the eyes and say hey man, i love you bro, i love you sis'
Its time we snatching people up left & right
So you got something on your heart to say man
Give the folk their flowers right now man, yeah right right now
Let's go
[Verse 1]
Check on your people if you love 'em then you need to show it
How come we wait for them to die before we let them know it?
The most important thing to say to 'em we never say
Took them for granted 'cause you're used to seeing them everyday
Neglecting calls so communication went astray
Might not be doing it on purpose, life got in the way
You're saying to yourself it's cool I'll catch them later on
And then you find out that they're gone now that chance is blown
Man... So now your feelings come rushing in
Wishing to hear their voice or for their hand to touch again
It's troubling dealing with that kind of suffering
You had time but with them never enough to spend
So now you're at the funeral full of regret and tearful
Wasting your time talking to them now because they can't hear you
The loving words that they gave you you didn't give them back
The fact that you didn't tell them, you gotta live with that
[Hook 2x]
Give them flowers while they still can smell 'em
If there is a certain way inside your heart you feel then tell them
Never hesitate to say it, do it when you can
Don't put no flowers on no casket, put 'em in their hand
[Verse 2]
You didn't speak and now the grief is tearing you to pieces
So now we printing t-shirts and doing balloon releases
Candlelight vigils and murals for a painful reason
But never gave that kind of attention when they were breathing
Don't get me wrong, I know the life should be celebrated
But we be waiting too late for them to appreciate it
Now you regret that you didn't tell 'em or send a message
The words that you never express when they were in your presence
We beef with people and relationships are often ruined
Friends and family, we might go years without talking to 'em
Reconciling is something we ought to start pursuing
Our hearts are moving opposite of what the thoughts are doing
So now a heavy load of guilt is landing on you
Go tell ya partners you love 'em while they're standing on two
Ego and hesitation got you in a blind mind
Until you see that R.I.P flooding their timeline
[Hook 2x]
Give them flowers while they still can smell 'em
If there is a certain way inside your heart you feel then tell them
Never hesitate to say it, do it when you can
Don't put no flowers on no casket, put 'em in their hand
[Verse 3]
If you ain’t giving them their props, homie call it running
It’s time to judge nobody for ‘cause we all have done it
When they was in the flesh, we barely demonstrated love
Now we at the wake, tellin’ everybody how great they was
All the things they did for us, all the fun you had
Well, where was all of that before day would come to pass?
I think of times that I rushed in, showed no patience with them
Not knowing that would be my final conversation with them
And when we go through that, the pain just runs clean through us
Some others never tell our parents what they mean to us
We thinking backwards and petty so we need to grow
Hating on your friend but praisin' people you don’t even know
Don’t wait until it’s over and you wipe ‘em tears away
Let 'em know how loved and important he is today
If it’s somebody that’s special to you and y'all love 'em
Hear them out to blowing for nothing and tell 'em you proud of 'em
[Hook]
Give them flowers while they still can smell ‘em
If there is a certain way inside your heart you fell then tell 'em
Never hesitate to say it, do it when you can
Don’t put no flowers on no casket put 'em in their hand (2X)
