Too Late

I wish I'd met you long ago talkin', walkin', snappin' I wish I'd met you long ago boombox speakers clappin' I wish I'd met you long ago every rhyme line stackin' I wish I'd met you long ago double-time tongue just rappin' Damn, it’s too late too many words in my chest Too late syllables crowd my breath Too late every phrase in your face Wish I'd met you long ago before I filled up this space I wish I'd met you long ago before the timeline sped I wish I'd met you long ago before the hooks in my head I wish I'd met you long ago before the feed got loud I wish I'd met you long ago breakdance hearts in the crowd Damn, it’s too late I overthink, overstate Too late every bar overweight Too late every secret I slide Wish I'd met you long ago before this rap got so wide I wish I'd met you long ago before the uproar callin' I wish I'd met you long ago before the night kept fallin' I wish I'd met you long ago before the streetlights glare I wish I'd met you long ago cardboard squares everywhere Damn, it’s too late too many lines, no gate Damn, it’s too late bassline crowd at the plate Too late too many rhymes on the page Too late too many beats in the cage Damn, it’s too late I let my sentences spill Damn, it’s too late running yet standing still Too late echo that won’t erase Too late lost in this crowded space Damn, it’s too late stacked thoughts that never stop Damn, it’s too late verses keep rising up top Too late party that fills this place Too late wordy rappin’ in place
