Mac Lethal - Quarter Life lyrics

Slow Times, Hard Times Close wound, Open wounds Come on [Verse 1] Yo Uh I'm gettin' sick I'm gettin' sick of fightin' for it This bullsh*t 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 f**kin' happy I just know this sh*t could not move any slower I just know the only thing I need to move this sh*t 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] Yo, I'm gonna get em I swear I'm gonna get em f**k 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 f**kin' delusional it's painful And sh*t [Hook] [Verse 3] 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 f**kin' 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' motherf**ker 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 [Hook]
