If everyone who turned thirty decide to hang up they jersey

Who gon' shed light when these youngins don’t know better

If my nephew leave home at 18, does that mean

He only got 12 years left to follow his dreams

I mean who gon' put on for the old niggas?

The only time limit on ambition is death, and good health

And it’s crazy when you hear it from old niggas

Cuz if they had the chance they would take it themselves, and that’s real

But they convinces themselves that they old niggas

And I’mma stay young forever, like H-O-V

And as I age they’ll say damn, it’s the grace for me

Almost at the finished line, so how Im gon' quit

Late bloomer, they ain’t know but they was waiting for me

And the throne looking empty, guess where I’m gon' sit

It took a while, cuz my people still on my coat tips

And walking through the door together

We surfed the stormiest of seas and we ignored the weather

I’m not old I’m weathered

I’m not hanging by a thread I’m tethered

I’m like wine I’m bettered, by the process

I made roux out my experience, they couldn’t process

I got niggas up in heaven that’s watching, I don’t need to pray

And niggas in your city that’s watching for me to lead a way

Niggas who ain’t make it to 30 for them to see the day

Get with it, or don’t - I’m committed to this shit either way

If everyone who turned thirty decide to hang up they jersey
