Entitled "Everything Else But Staying In The Moment"

Boy you doing everything else but staying in the moment

I guess God forgot to include with my instructions that when people decide to love me they have to deal with my ADHD soul

that’s the reason why I can’t stay in a moment

moments are like people and even the ones you love are bound to leave

Boy you doing everything else but staying in the moment

happy moments are like quicksand

Slipping through the hands of a black man

Faster than he can think about grabbing it

Boy you doing everything else but staying in the moment

Being present was something that the men in black families never understood

Sometimes I think the term “gateway drug“

What was invented by a black man

Some of us addicted to running away

When shit didn’t work out the way we planned

boy you doing everything else but staying in the moment

Unfortunately I cannot stay anywhere

And the rules of this cat and mouse game called life

Remind me every day that death can be lurking around any corner

Boy you doing everything else but staying in the moment

I n the hood moments are like obituaries

I Imagine every black boy in America gets a pain in the pit of their stomach every time they open the drawer with all those “RIP T-shirts”

Staying somewhere

It’s something that no black person it’s truly comfortable with

As the saying goes “Time waits for no man“

I bet you whoever made the phrase up had a black person in.
