Twenty Six

[Hook: WordPlay T.JAY] I’m wishing that I knew what I know at twenty six Plenty sick Grab a seat and watch me do it like this Grab a seat and watch me do it like this Get ya head up over heals like I’m doing back flips [Verse 1: WordPlay T.JAY] In my grandmother's kitchen, filled with my ambition Writing, singing, beating, and ignoring my tuition I stop celebrating birthdays cause I simply know I’m gifted 96 my teacher had me in 06 I lost attention Cause at 16, I’m spitting 16 bars Rapping hits at the bars before I learned to drive a car I ain’t even in the dark but yet my homie’s near a star I didn’t wanna be a doctor but I’m sitting near the charts This before I knew the Bay, way before I took the Bart This before that last semester when I said forget the art But in hindsight get my mind right so I shine bright Get on 9 flights, take my time and get the vibe tight I’m so bright that my lyrics shine light I forget to check the clock so I don’t even know what time like I’m not a human being word to Weezy when I see em I’m gone have to take this book and put this here in a museum [Hook x2] [Verse 2: WordPlay T.JAY] I was cool back then now I’m ready for arenas Because I’m rhyming like patinas and you’re weaker than Viennas I’m the cleanest, so give the credit to my senior Cause if he was around I’d be an under achiever Man that flow is really Cole next to Martin, Pam, & Gina Spit like Tommies in tsunamis I can’t think of nothing meaner I’m hot like Filipinas biting in to Jalapenos Enough pep talk now I’m seeing senoritas Competition couldn’t see us with a Timberlake concept Not very many of you cons left My minds complex, read the context, is he done yet? Nah I’m never finished showing off like a sundress And you’re dated like a Palm text Where am I going next? You worn in like a bomb threat A chill poise I can snap at any minute Might have beat me to the races but I’m winning at the finish [Hook x2]
