Quarter Life

Slow Times, Hard Times

Close wound, Open wounds

Come on

Yo Uh

I'm gettin' sick

I'm gettin' sick of fightin' for it

This bullshit dream

When all these people like ignore it

I take my life record it

Get on stage and I perform it

But the fear of bein' broke is quite enormous

It's like I'm dormant

I only got the budget for some rice and porridge

Hopin' that I'm never dressed up in a jumpsuit

White and orange

In the county jail

Servin' 25 to life for horrid, crimes

Cause I resorted to sellin' these white imported, lines

And it gets worse when these labels throw major money at me

But all these deals are so shady I can't be fuckin' happy

I just know this shit could not move any slower

I just know the only thing I need to move this shit is some exposure

People questionin' my flow

People questionin' my motives when its nothin but confessions at my shows

And now I'm terrified of bein' vulnerable to my family

These people got me questionin' my sanity

Uh

It's just a quarter life crisis

Uh, you ain't got to follow it but

At least acknowledge it once

And understand that all the things that I am feeling are true

And try to show respect to me while I reveal em to you

It's just a quarter life crisis

You ain't got follow it but

At least acknowledge it once

And understand that all the things that I am feeling are true

And try to show respect to me while I prove it to you

Yo, I'm gonna get em

I swear I'm gonna get em

Fuck these young rappers man there arrogance don't fit em

I need to keep my mouth shut because I know it's right

But nowadays rap careers happen over night

And I'm bitter

Honestly I'm bitter

Even though I'm full of energy and startin' to get bigger

I think about the 90's when you had to pay dues, slay crews

And truly prove you had some heart as a beginner

Nowadays it's retro, sounds like its techno

I feel like I'm a dinosaur that needs to learn to let go

I wonder why the hell I keep on actin' so polite

Nowadays rap careers happen over night

And I wonder, you know sometimes I wonder

Why the people that surround me are so rattled by the thunder

They're lookin' for some comfort

They're lookin' for an angel

The people I'm surrounded by are so fuckin' delusional it's painful

And shit

And if I knew, oh brother if I knew

You'd be this type of enemy to me I never woulda' been a friend to you

You only do a favor if it's benefiting you

Your just a bitter dude

You should admit its true

If I hurt you by bein' happy I'm sorry

But if you hurt me for bein' happy you're sorry

You can take it however you wanna take it

There ain't a fuckin' thing on this planet that you hold sacred

It's all a cheap way for you to get famous

You buy clothes neglecting bills and rent payments

I'd rather feel a cobra bite

Our whole friendship transformed over night

You's a backstabbin' motherfucker

And if I knew you would be this type enemy I'd never been a friend to you

I swear to god the person you've become just isn't you

Look me in the eyes and tell me what I'm sayin isn't true
