Текст песни Don't You Blink - Haystak

Don't you blink
Or you're gonna miss me
We should cherish every moment that we have
Don't you blink
And try to rewrite history
Still can't believe that I'm the one that makes you sad

It's a lonely road and all I know
Is it ain't gonna last
Still trying to win the rodeo
But time is moving fast
So don't you blink
So don't you blink

I go back to my old neighborhood
Back to my old neighborhood
Nothing is the way it was
Nothing is the way it was
These kids can't play basketball
Syringes, fentanyl
Somebody gotta man up

Be the one to represent y'all
Get the hell outta here
You can't sell that powder here
So hard getting out of here
Amidst all the doubt and fear
I take it all on my shoulders
I'm gonna man up and be a soldier
Represent my people 'til it's over

Don't you blink
Or you're gonna miss me
We should cherish every moment that we have
Don't you blink
And try to rewrite history
Still can't believe that I'm the one that makes you sad

It's a lonely road and all I know
Is it ain't gonna last
Still trying to win the rodeo
But time is moving fast
So don't you blink
So don't you blink

When time comes and my time's up
Them foreign cars and them pickup trucks
Turn they lights on, line up
Tell 'em crank that bass all the way up
And the Mayor shut down Main Street
Police block the side streets
Oncoming traffic, respect the fact
In that Cadillac, Stak the Mak

Country as gravy and biscuits
Overcame all the statistics
When you ask him how he did it
Quickly give credit to Jesus
Wrote them inspiring dramatic
Visual cinematic flows
Here he goes again showing off in traffic
Running through red lights

But that's how he lived life
Trying to stay ahead in life
Very seldom slept at night
You can sleep when you're dead
I'm gonna seize the opportunity
To fortify my legacy musically

Don't you blink
Or you're gonna miss me
We should cherish every moment that we have
Don't you blink
And try to rewrite history
Still can't believe that I'm the one that makes you sad

It's a lonely road and all I know
Is it ain't gonna last
Still trying to win the rodeo
But time is moving fast
So don't you blink
So don't you blink

I was blessed to see my baby's baby
Which is at the same time crazy and amazing
Phases, seasons, rhyming, reasons
Trying to figure out why I'm even speaking
Should I make it more about Jesus?
Should I make it more about righteousness?

I've been a man of tyranny
Did my dirt, yes I confess
But that was old me
And I'm blessed to still be with y'all
It was a pleasure to represent y'all
Sincerely, the big dog

Don't you blink
Or you're gonna miss me
We should cherish every moment that we have
Don't you blink
And try to rewrite history
Still can't believe that I'm the one that makes you sad

It's a lonely road and all I know
Is it ain't gonna last
Still trying to win the rodeo
But time is moving fast
So don't you blink
So don't you blink
