Wrong Side

I tried (I tried)
I tried I tried I tried
I tried (I tried)
I tried I tried I tried

I tried I can't hide it
Shit is getting real
On the wrong side of twenty-five
And I don't know how I should feel
Is this a part of the plan
Its too hard to understand
On the wrong side of twenty-five
Trying hard to be the man

Mama said I need to have a wife (I, I)
I don't think I'm in that point in life (Past)
Past relationships ain't ending right (So)
So I just slide but I don't spend the night
I know it's wrong but I pretend it's right (Back)
Back and forth but this ain't tennis
I can't stand this racket I get tendinitis
She serving looks swear she on ten tonight
I'm slurring words cause I'm on Hen n Sprite
But my concern is keeping her in sight (Yeah)
Light the fire keep it burning bright (Uhh)
Mesmerized, I blink, see morning light (Yeah)
You gone make me think there's more to life (You)
Got me losing sleep nocturnal type
My past still haunts me like a poltergeist
My back I'm watching those that hold the knife

I tried I can't hide it
Shit is getting real
On the wrong side of twenty-five
And I don't know how I should feel
Is this a part of the plan
Its too hard to understand
On the wrong side of twenty-five
Trying hard to be the man

All my partners say they found the one
I got problems still ain't found my gun
Can't shoot my shot
Even if I shoot my shot
I'll probably brick or it get blocked
I get it y'all
Got it all, figured out
Adjust my toupee, need to stop wigging out
Missed call, urgent message, what the fuck is this about
Withdraw, from my checkings, ridiculous amount
Great Lakes, got me drowning, sink, no swimming out
Education post to hold me down
Guess I should have took it literal
Look around
They all having babies getting married
I just got this burden that I carry
Shit is scary

Kanye was right
College is a waste of money
At least the way its set up right now
I gotta homeboy who just lied on his resume said he graduated college
He working in the cubicle right next to me
