Quaranta - Intellectual

[Intro]

Say "forty" in Italian

In Italian, forty is "quaranta"

Yeah

"Quaranta"

This rap shit done saved my life

And fucked it up at the same time

That pain in my heart, I can't hide

A lot of trauma inside, you can see it in my eyes

Could've ended it in seconds, just time on my side

Show must go on, bought a ticket, take the ride

Songs are life, but a dead dream

Think he made it, everything ain't what it seems

Nigga, you 40, still doing this shit?

When you gon' stop? Or God gon' make you quit?

Came from hardships, but changed perceptions

A blessing

A lot changed since XXX came out

Bought a few cars and a house

Almost had a spouse, got caught up, she was out

Now I'm sitting here, questioning what life is about

"Can you separate the life from the music?"

I was clueless, now a nigga foolish

On my own, gotta get to it

Came too far to right now just lose it

Lost everything in pursuit of my dream

Pushed everyone away, now no one here for me

Now all everyone do is ask

And when you don't have, they just talk behind your back

Nigga, you 40, still doing this shit?

When you gon' stop? Or God gon' make you quit?

Came from hardships, but changed perceptions

A blessing
