Twenty5 - Intellectual

It's Jae

(point blank)

[Verse 01]

When I open up my eyes all i see is deceit

When my father left me, I learned it all from the streets

Don’t trust nobody, always look over your shoulder

I grew colder before I grew older

Did it all before 16 so it seems

I never gave a fuck, didn't care for anything

On my gymnast flow, nah mean

Stretch that White Girl out on that triple beam

Used to chop it up with niggas who lived up the street

Coke in my nails, Dutch guts on my sneaks

Too much on my mind, I could never go to sleep

Cops at the school, they wanna interview me

But I ain't saying shit, I ain’t saying a name

Grabbing on my beads, identifying my gang

At 17, i knew shit was getting real hectic

I wasn't tryna trade school for a prison sentence

Not tryna hear the prosecutor read my offenses

Fake niggas always on the defensive

25 before 25 ain't my prediction

Tryna see mad gold chains and white benzes

If I do 25 before 25, is you down to ride?

I'm so close to suicide but I don't wanna die

I got a call round 5 pm

They bout to run up in a house, if I wanted in

Told them "I can't dawg, I got moves to make

And plus, me and --- bout to go on a date"

Told them meet up with you later and i told them be safe

But we didn’t, shit went the wrong way

Sent him across the border, haven’t seen him since

Worst of all, his girl bout give birth to his kid

That's when shit hit home, man this life getting crazy

How he got deported and he can’t see his baby?

How I say no, for a dumb bitch that played me?

And how I ain't locked up? that shit just amaze me

8 years later and that shit still hurts

Took everything I got just to put it in this verse

Coulda been in the system. Fuck that, in a hearse

I'm 25 now, I'm glad I beat that curse
