Badi - Twenty One lyrics

rate me

...let me just take a second<br />

To pause and reflect, check the cause and effect<br />

I find myself askin', how did this happen<br />

So fast, can't imagine, man I remember back when<br />

I thought knew the deal, but I didn't understand<br />

It was never in my plans to become a grown man<br />

Hopped on a plane destination thailand<br />

Where nobody was there to hold my hand<br />

And that's when I believe it started<br />

See I became part of a culture meanwhile my partner<br />

Was guarding the scared gardens<br />

And it'll take that inspiration to create an artist<br />

And through the hardships, I grew regardless<br />

Of how much I was still stuck in the ways<br />

On the sidewalk some duckin' the strays<br />

Some repeating the mistakes their own parents made<br />

<br />

CHORUS:<br />

Look kid you don't even know the half<br />

True, but it's you I will outlast<br />

I'ma be around to see what's to come<br />

Cause at twenty-one I've only just begun<br />

I'm told<br />

Look kid you don't even know the half<br />

True, but it's you I will outlast<br />

I'ma be around to see what's to come<br />

Cause at twenty-one I've only just begun<br />

<br />

Twenty one times around the sun<br />

Take it in, I knew this day was bound to come<br />

Illmatic had told me that the world was mine<br />

And I realized it was way before half-time<br />

Listen... I've done what some couldn't<br />

Given a chance all because of one women<br />

Who taught me knowledge of self, always prayer books<br />

On the shelf for me to delve into myself<br />

Trained my voice and my soul from an early age<br />

Gave what I can take with me through the pearly gates<br />

Fought for opportunities for me, mentored me<br />

Even when it didn't make sense to me<br />

I never knew who to blame, see there's a lot more<br />

Significance to the name because he once did the same<br />

So why would I bother to be anyone but Badí<br />

Spiritual descendent of the Pride of the Martyrs<br />

<br />

CHORUS:<br />

Look kid you don't even know the half<br />

True, but it's you I will outlast<br />

I'ma be around to see what's to come<br />

Cause at twenty-one I've only just begun<br />

I'm told<br />

Look kid you don't even know the half<br />

True, but it's you I will outlast<br />

I'ma be around to see what's to come<br />

Cause at twenty-one I've only just begun
