TWENTY - ONE
Age ain't
Nothing but a young niggas cage
Walking thru flames I stay upright
A new here's new time
21
Heard a lot about you nice to meet you
Going off how the rest of the world perceives you
N ot a lotta time in a day to be peaceful
Sixteen was a shit talker, with love lost he suggested that death had a quick offer
Would've took it no question except he had ex best friend couldn't stop calling
Nigga said being here was a shit show
How the hell this life your true home
That girl said fuck you she didn't love you now you gotta write another love song
17 lil nigga
Tryna drop a song errday to try get a deal quicker
Performances in high school was cool but it's hard to appeal to a crowd full of ill wishers
First year that he hit swishers, found weed and his soul found real healing
Attitude just kept building got a job big move but the cash flow had low ceilings
Started seeing his emotions with a clear view
All this time spent avoiding the real truth
Wish he had a guardian angel to speak inside his ear so the kid ain't waste no youth
Age ain't
Nothing but a young niggas cage
Walking thru flames I stay upright
A new here's new time
18 went from boys to men
Was a sponge that year had to soak it in
Walked across the stage after graduation celebrating in Palm Springs with the folks and Them
Moved homes but same motions, life base then moved to Pomona
Pops treating me more like a grown up
Now I'm running to the bus inna morning
19 his issues was come running in
Over school only went there to see his friends
Met a muse in October and she was the dope that ignited the worst of addictions
Had two jobs that was 6 days he's clocking in
After work with his boss had the blunt in hand
Had to smoke with the windows down and with red eyes on deck before every night he Went in
20 years old nigga grew some balls
In the parking lot of that jiffy lube and all
Dad talking down on em like it's no tomorrow
Conversation got em wondering when his funeral starts
Now he's faced with a noble charge
Either find a new roof or ya soul departs
That the beginning of the solider heart
Found the light of the DRM Rm from cold and dark
That nigga dropped off the baggage
Moved in the house hills
Started defining himself
That took him a couple years
Now that nigga met 21
He's running away from his fears
21 that's the new 25
That's the nigga that everyone reveres
Age ain't
Nothing but a young niggas cage
Walking thru flames I stay upright
A new here's new time
Nothing but a young niggas cage
Walking thru flames I stay upright
A new here's new time
21
Heard a lot about you nice to meet you
