A quarter century, they're asking me what's next Hand me the keys please? But life no get formula one sef Moving fast, either play catch up or be left for dead All the pressure mounting on me, will it ever rest? Not seen a lot of years but some have been cruel Seen niggas who hate the sunset cos they have no place to dwell Know who to trust but tell me how can you tell? Some of them pray you fail, I wish you well man, keep it trill See, wish I could go back couple years to younger years Running round with cousins sniffing on grandma's tobacco leaves Getting chased out neighbour's house for climbing up her mango trees The innocent years, before we knew black and white skin When our problem was getting it right, the stick figures Now it's six figures, orgasms and Hilfigers Reality set in, some dreams no longer linger And we found out what it all meant to be just another nigga Not trying to duck responsibilities Just caught up in my bubble of memories reminiscing The times you saw your crush and barely spoke a single sentence Years gone by, some are names we no longer mention Yeah, close ones may become foes And the only way to build sometimes is when we let go See, everything comes and goes, carpe dieming daily I'll be damned if I sit around and just dwell on the maybes Twenty five and still alive We ain't made it this far to give up We go survive Striving to make a way We go make am or die trying Dying to live another day But soon we go dey fly Twenty five and still alive We ain't made it this far to give up We go survive Striving to make a way We go make am or die trying Dying to live another day But soon we go dey fly Look, it's true you make your own joy, see, I caught on late Seeking approval from these people, my outlook was tainted Back when my self-esteem looked like a poorly painted portrait Persistently plagued with a poor perception at a young age And yeah, some old heads knew no better But hey, you know the come up, trust the grown ups to the letter So we swallowed their ills and the bullshit that they fed us Products of a system, who's to blame for errors of an era? Now it's upon us, we been handed the mantle They passed on a broken baton but we're still trying to handle it Tryna find ways around it but sometimes we come full circle See, it's a cycle and we're all screwed on some level But we alright, sound mind and character Different folks, different strokes, climbing our different ladders Some with the white collar, blue, green and some others We applaud the niggas staying to raise all of their sons and daughters Cos see, we've seen it all, my nigga, we know how it is Niggas f*ck around and turn around just to say they ain't with it Leave it all to the mothers who don't even get much credit Then they show up few years later like it was all perfect, silly! See we, have to do better, if not for ourselves, the kids They don't have to go through it too, all the same shit that we did Fingers pointing at us like we have no moral fibre But we know there's more to life than just red cups and lighters Twenty five and still alive We ain't made it this far to give up We go survive Striving to make a way We go make am or die trying Dying to live another day But soon we go dey fly Twenty five and still alive We ain't made it this far to give up We go survive Striving to make a way We go make am or die trying Dying to live another day But soon we go dey fly
