[Intro]
I was playin' with forever
Scrollin' through my days
Laughin' with my brother
Never spoke about grace
[Verse 1]
We was ridin' late night, same crew, same backseat
He was talkin' 'bout the stress, how he never had peace
I just changed the topic
Kept the talk surface, pockets, profit
I knew the truth, tucked deep in my pocket
Like I had time to drop it
"One day" on replay
"Next link" on delay
Then the text hit:
"Bro, he got hit on the freeway"
Funeral suit, black tie, flowers by the gate
Everybody sayin' "fly high," I just felt the weight
Preacher read a verse, tears on mama face
I was noddin' like I’m fine
Heart racin' outta place
[Chorus]
Then I saw him fall
Saw the fire crawl
He was callin' out my name
While the demons called his own
He said "Why you never warned me?
You said I was your homie"
He was reachin' through the flame
And I knew this ain't a game
This ain't a game
Last chance before the flames
This ain't a game
Last chance before the flames
[Verse 2]
Vision flipped, I was standin' on the edge line
He was in the pit cryin', grippin' on the red side
Chains on his wrists, shame in his eyes
He yelled, "You knew the way out
You just watched me die"
Smoke in my lungs, couldn't breathe from the heat
Angels lookin' at me like, "Why you stayed discreet?"
He said, "We talked girls, talked money, every single week
You hid a whole kingdom
Never said the King speaks"
He pointed at the cross in the sky gettin' distant
"I can't cross over now
Your silence was the difference"
Flames rose higher, voice gettin' thinner
"How you let me meet forever
Still stuck as a sinner?"
[Chorus]
Then I saw him fall
Saw the fire crawl
He was callin' out my name
While the demons called his own
He said "Why you never warned me?
You said I was your homie"
He was reachin' through the flame
And I knew this ain't a game
This ain't a game
Last chance before the flames
This ain't a game
Last chance before the flames
[Bridge]
I woke up with sweat drippin'
Heart kickin', bed shakin', mind spinnin'
Phone glowin' on the nightstand
Unread text from my man
"Yo, you up? I been thinkin' 'bout life
Can we talk? I don't know if I'm right"
[Chorus]
Now he ain't fell yet
Breath in his chest yet
Cross on my wall and
The Word on my desk, yeah
I won't bite my tongue now
Grace for the rundown
Jesus took the flames
He can write your name down
'Cause I saw you fall
I can't watch you crawl
I won't leave you in the dark
When there's mercy for your soul
I said, "Bro, I gotta warn you
'Cause I really call you homie"
If you're reachin' for a way
There's a Savior for your pain
This ain't a game
Last chance before the flames
This ain't a game
Last chance before the flames (oh)
Last chance before the flames
