[Verse 1: Denzel Curry]
Livin' like a heathen, smokin' on Garden of Eden
The question I'm always thinkin' is "What a n***a believe in?"
The only thing I know is that I'm twenty-five breathin'
Fuck a twenty-five to life, deep in my heart, my people need me
It's not for social medias or guest spots on the TV
No Jimmy Kimmel or Fallon, not for the bucks, no Tim Allen
I'm givin' flows out the gallon and leavin' you for a thought
N***as turnin' down property for a chain that they bought, bitch
Invest in guns when police pull us over
Never stay sick when the climate get grosser
Keep your friеnds close and your enemiеs closer
Government keepin' tabs, put your life in a folder
Many snakes in the grass, so beware of the cobra
Your only option, go to college or be a soldier
Can't even stand your ground when you outside of Florida
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter
[Bridge: Denzel Curry & REASON]
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter
Twenty— Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
It's government keepin' tabs, put your life in a folder
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
It's government keepin' tabs, put your life in a folder
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first—
Twenty— Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty—
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty—
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty—
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first— (Yay)
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter (So, okay)
[Verse 2: REASON]
The climb from the bottom created out of them toxins
It's ironic n***as changed when we made it about them pockets
Had a couple homies fall, celebrated 'em in the projects
Feel like we ain't do 'em justice 'cause they still ain't never left
Least we could've did was fly they body to the steps
Of a pyramid in Egypt, lay they royalty to rest
Least I could've did was keep on puttin' for the West
They stories never forgotten long as REAS' still breathin'
Ain't shit changed, n***a, REASON still REASON
Cash took a bullet, but that n***a still breathin'
Changed my whole perspective, now my time comin' quicker
Than me in some raw pussy, you think I ain't raw, push me
I might black on a n***a, tell massa I's comin'
N***as get designer and thinkin' they did something
Fyre Festival how you n***as is fly for nothing
What your legacy worth when you dead in the dirt?
Look what your legacy worth when you only got a quarter to spend
Hustle on blocks, you got a quarter to give
Penny for your thoughts, my n***a Pac shared a quarter of his
And he ain't even get a quarter to live
I'm sad for my n***as, make it past twenty-five
I'm glad for my n***as, that's a miracle where we from
My n***a Dale got hit in his lungs
Bleedin', callin' for God, askin' for help but that n***a ain't never come, so
[Outro: Denzel Curry]
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty—
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty—
Twenty-five to life, deep in my heart my people need me
Twenty— Twenty— Twenty— Twenty—
Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first—
Twenty— Twenty-five years, I'ma call it first quarter
