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 BadÃ<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
