1st Quarter - Denzel Curry

Livin' like a heathen, smokin' on Garden of Eden

The question I'm always thinkin' is "What a nigga 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

Niggas 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 friends close and your enemies 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

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)

The climb from the bottom created out of them toxins

It's ironic niggas 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, nigga, REASON still REASON

Cash took a bullet, but that nigga 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 nigga, tell massa I's comin'

Niggas get designer and thinkin' they did something

Fyre Festival how you niggas 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 nigga Pac shared a quarter of his

And he ain't even get a quarter to live

I'm sad for my niggas, make it past twenty-five

I'm glad for my niggas, that's a miracle where we from

My nigga Dale got hit in his lungs

Bleedin', callin' for God, askin' for help but that nigga ain't never come, so

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
