It Takes More歌词

He was fourteen years old
All his life he never left the west side
I walked past him everyday heading downtown
Always on the go he was the kind of guy
You never gave your real name to
So young but still trying to game you
But what he was going through, I never knew
Its such a same how people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
All his life he heard you won't amount to nothing
Low expectations
In need of money few too many choices
and no patience
So what do you know for a good cash flow
you could always sell it's easy to fit the role
But when your living the fast life
he considered all times a go
Its such a same how people change
And I never really knew his name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
Is that how he came around
For his child he'll know now
'Cause he left him with bruises
His words just abusive
The love he didn't show
And what his boy was going through
He had never imagined
But when love turns to hate
It's the worse out of passion
His son was bold
And by then it was too late
From his friend they get console
Then his hands, his shoes
The life or death they couldn't hold
Oh- two seconds cold
He was fourteen years old
Locked up until he's old
It's such a same how moments change
And I never really knew your name
But it takes more than two to raise a youth
And for that we all did lose
Because if one of us had noticed you
How I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
How moments, how moments change
I wish I could turn it all round for you
I wish I was there for you
I was busy filling my own shoes
And two seconds can change your whole life
[Incomprehensible] all over you
We all did it, we all did it
