T.E.V. - Quarter Century (feat. JMK Instrumentals)

Twenty Five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right
I live it, right

Ah man come-on man you gotta come a little bit harder than that
(Not feeling it?)
Little bit harder (Okay)
Just, try it one more time
(Okay one more time)

Twenty five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right
I live it right, I live it right, I live it right (I live it right) I live it right

Okay, I'm starting to feel it
Alright, Let's get it

Twenty five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right
I live it right, I live it right, I left it all behind
I picked it up, I dust it off, then put it to my mind
I find the strangest phrased, different faces, all emotionless
I'm devoting this to bringing love to the world

My daughter and my girl shaped my world
Different places, gotta take 'em, deeply making
Me inspire, bring in hot fire, youth lit
Captivate to make them sit
Listen to the gift, catch the drift
Make you feel this, just a long diss
To injustice, but you can hop your hip
Make a dance make a gif, just as long as you reminisce
On the ride, learn while you vibe
(Check it out I'm)

Twenty five, Twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right
Twenty five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right

Living righteously truly comes at a cost, do I live in the world or die by the cross?
Am I found am I lost? lose it all, fall to understanding, demanding
I open my eyes and see
The would is in poverty, sick and diseased
(Where could God be?)
Only when I give help I get a glimpse of what a god could be
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks sent from eternity (Eternity)

Learn that we all have the power in our hands
The world is your wish and your will is your command
Don't need another man to tell you what you can't or can
The power's in your hand, now grip it with demand
They don't see the picture now, but in time they'll understand
But don't lose your footing boy, better stand and be a man
The world is changing fast, gotta keep up how you can
Wanna make a statement stick? Well better make it while you can

Politics and poverty, abolish it immediately, if you're looking for some kind of peace
Better start where chaos meets (Yeah)
Together we can't be defeated (Yeah)
World loving is what we're needing (Yeah)
Real truth to the youth I'm feeding (Yeah)
Never gonna stop until I stop breathing (Wooo!)
I'm still alive for a reason (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I believe in that, I need to chat
With higher power, where I'm at?
Knowing that I'm causing that
Conformist cat to reel it back
Just a tad, end the fad
Don't be mad, just be glad I'm just vibing

(Vibing just vibing, vibing, just vibing just rhyming, rhyming)

Twenty five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right
I live it right, I live it right, I left it all behind
I picked it up, I dust it off, then put it to my mind
I find the strangest phrases, different faces, all emotionless
I'm devoting this to bringing love to the world

Every boy and every girl (Listen up)
Gotta stop the flow, interrupt
Know for a fact you wanna grow up
Wanna be something, wanna be tough
Wanna have cred, wanna be loved
Wanna measure up, wanna be enough
Well I'm telling you, you are enough
To be the change the world wanna see
All it takes is love and deep self belief
And empathy for the ones in need
And a heart to serve and a will to lead
And a love for wealth, but a hate for greed
And your mind and health are necessities
With these tools in hand, success you'll see
(Remember that)
Now vibe with me I'm

Twenty five, twenty five and I'm still alive
Based on all the lies seven years ago I should've died or been locked away
With no escape, so still I cried
Brothers lost their lives, take my life, yeah I live it right
I live it right, I live it right I left it all behind
I picked it up I dust it off then put it to my mind
I find the strangest phrases, different faces, all emotionless
I'm devoting this to bringing LOVE to the world
