The Honorable Hakim Dough, B.LIN - THE MOON IS AN ELIXIR Lyrics

Time will heal all wounds
Till pain is moons away
Sorry to go so soon
I wanted to stay
Nothing else to prove
I said all I had to say ...
The present is a gift that's all we get is it
Time to move along
If the present is all we have
And it's a gift that's all we get
Is it time to move along
The son of a hustler
My fathers father was a merchant
Saw my mother sell blood to the blood bank
But my blood line can't be purchased
I come from wholesalers
I'm just re-telling the story now
I know for me that there's more in store
Come and walk with me down this aisle
My first job ever as a child
Was the flea market on Jefferson ave
Imagine me at like 4 1/2
Prior to kindergarten I could add
I knew the price if It ain't have a tag
Thanks for shopping, your receipts in the bag
Then I'm back to playing games in the back
I grew up different, maybe I took it for granted
I Should've paid more attention, ain't wanna listen my momma put me on game
I just wanted to play games
Should've bought less memory cards so I could save
To not to go to college or have my tuition paid
Time will heal all wounds
Till pain is moons away
Sorry to go so soon
I wanted to stay
Nothing else to prove
I said all I had to say ...
The present is a gift that's all we get is it
Time to move along
If the present is all we have
And it's a gift that's all we get
Is it time to move along
Growing up I learned the hard way
Teachers sent me to the hallway
No matter how far ahead of me I got
Mama was never to far away
Guidance was never too far away
The light was only a star away
Moonlighting working all day
Just to buy her only son a pair of skates
All my single parents that can't catch a break
I know why you do it, I seen what it takes
It's a sacrifice but the pay off's great
Mama look at me, I got you to thank
I can't forget but if I drew a blank
It's the name you gave me take it to the bank
The only way I know to pay you back
Is by making sure that family straight
Invested in memories we can make
An intangible gold we appreciate
I look at pictures of me and I see your face
I know you'll still be with me when I move away
Time will heal all wounds
Till pain is moons away
Sorry to go so soon
I wanted to stay
Nothing else to prove
I said all I had to say ...
The Present is a gift that's all we get is it
Time to move along
If the present is all we have
And it's a gift that's all we get
Is it time to move along
Cookouts with family, Lookout for granny
Cousins is buzzing off henny and Brandi
Nieces and nephews pillage the pantry
This is what village can be
Ima miss you all
Gotta bring my mom
Old McDonald never ever had a farm
All my friendships organic
Botanic
Planted, seeds on this planet
We can leave don't take it for granted
In the top soil with the crop circles
You too corny you won't understand it
Family tree's need a hammock
Swing for those you love
If you fall we'll bring you a bandaid
Time will heal all wounds
Till pain is moons away
Sorry to go so soon
I wanted to stay
Nothing else to prove
I said all I had to say ...
The Present is a gift that's all we get is it
Time to move along
If the present is all we have
And it's a gift that's all we get
Is it time to move along
Time to move

Time will heal all wounds
Till pain is moons away
Sorry to go so soon
I wanted to stay
Nothing else to prove
I said all I had to say ...
The present is a gift that's all we get is it
Time to move along
If the present is all we have
And it's a gift that's all we get
Is it time to move along
