K the Chosen - Nomad's Tale,Pt. 5 (Quarter Life Crisis) Lyrics

Gotta kiss 25 under 25 good bye
I'm getting old for a rapper -no lie
Still young in this that thing we-call life
But on the Pharcyde time keep passing me by
Many fish in the sea but can't you see I'm drowning
Sweat and tears man all the fear compounding
Thought I'd clear but I'm still here, surrounded
By my doubts, I scream and shout, I wasted
Opportunities and chances
To connect with the masses
Figure out finances
Repeat a couple classes
Man I was embarrassed
Barely passed it
Almost lost my degree for the love of rapping
Chip on my shoulder
I would never lay it down
If I dip for a second
Would be saucy with the sound
I'm dripping on the ground
All the ice is melting now
Been cold with the flow
It's time to thaw it out
Quarter life crisis
Used to be the nicest
Now super vicious might go around and bite shit
Vampire, there's a lot at stake
So many choices but can't afford a mistake
Quarter life crisis
Used to be the nicest
Now super vicious might go around and bite shit
Vampire, there's a lot at stake
Too many voices which path do I take?
I was worried by what I saw on the timeline
Shoulda be more concerned by what is happening in real life
I was counting views tryna calculate his wealth
Instead of reading books so I could learn it for myself
I was memorizing facts instead learning how to learn
If you understand tax you understand how to earn
Instead we hold urns for the bridges that we burn
Connections we have lost everytime that we turn
Our back to a competitor - can only be one
But if we team up the game can only be won
Man, we all have knowledge
Forget school and college
They produce plain people when we could all be pilots
Take life under your own wings and soar
Take the lead, don't just leap and expect to free fall
Plummeting with no control or direction
You're a cog that fits in a certain mechanism
The chain is broken everytime you think different
You are the weakest link because you are so gifted
Because you are a radical, you challenge their religion
When you should follow blindly because that is the tradition
So never question it, never question your existence
Your crisis will be taken care of by a new prescription
Now you are addicted, they successfully subdued you
Here's the WiFi, now go watch some YouTube
Quarter life crisis
Used to be the nicest
Now super vicious might go around and bite shit
Vampire, there's a lot at stake
So many choices but can't afford a mistake
Quarter life crisis
Used to be the nicest
Now super vicious might go around and bite shit
Vampire, there's a lot at stake
Too many voices which path do I take?
This is my life, it's not up for discussion
I'm bout to blow ain't talking self-destruction
I'm talking about combustion
As I'm breathing in this oxygen
Energy I'm releasing will start a fire deep within
Those who doubt, I'm with you in this moment
I've felt the fear, I've cried the tears but now my eyes are open
We need hope most when it all feels hopeless
Got to give to receive so keep your palms open
As life hands you opportunity, grip it tight
Cos it could disappear like a thief in the night
It will reappear like the sun when it's bright
But you want it when it's fresh not when it's over ripe
The fruit of your labour, you've gotta harvest right
You never are alone, look to people in your life
Look left, look right
Be humble and ask for +Vice

Gotta kiss 25 under 25 good bye
I'm getting old for a rapper -no lie
Still young in this that thing we-call life
But on the Pharcyde time keep passing me by
Many fish in the sea but can't you see I'm drowning
