I know it's been so long
and you know although I'm gone
I'm still there till the end
I got your back regardless
through the good times and bad, through the darkness
I'm still a friend
Now that I'm older, it feels like it's real life
Got my sleeves rolled up, work the grounds while it's still bright
Build a tolerance for pain, more knowledge in the brain
and skills to kill mics
But since I'm living in past times
I can't push forward, I can't climb
the endless mountain called life
During this conversation, i'm facing a wall like
a soliloquoy, to tell myself 'it's alright'
The world is a place without a soul to trust
Maybe I’ve been thinking about everything all too much
I regret taking flight, leaving on the plane
I’m aching like I’m asthmatic cuz I’m breathing in pain
I'm breaking lights from the morning until the evening fades
Feeling stressed to pay the price, but you see me awake, breathing today
I'm still alive, I ain't dead, that may be seasons away
I hope you're doing good though, I'm believing and praying
Tough times, working hard to blow it up
The road is a lonely one, the ground is cold and rough
And we're still growing up, but I guess we're old enough
If you feel me, let me see your hands high, throw it up!
24 and we're riding
and we're riding on 24, and we're riding on 24
We got time but we ain't young any more
24 and we're riding, and we're riding on 24
Nothing is infinite in this world, there's always time in it
Nothing lasts and everything will pass in a flash in just minutes
24 and we're riding, and we're riding on 24
This goes out to all my friends that i'll never forget about
it's tough times for us I know. we ain't young any more, yet we're still growing up
I know it's been so long
and you know although I'm gone
I'm still there till the end
I got your back regardless
through the good times and bad, through the darkness
I'm still a friend
I got so many friends in different area codes
but to know that when im dead, I'll be buried alone
It makes me wonder man, who'd really cry?
who'd even try? When I'm through with this life, what do I carry along?
I'm sorry too, cuz I forgot to tell you I'm gone
so don't bother calling me on the cellular phone
But im good, I've been working hard to sell these songs
and I know you're stressed out, I've been well informed
Whether it's love life or beef
unemployed and dissapointed, so you're tired and beat
to the point that you're being toyed, lied to and cheated
Frustrated, I know it, you're only trying to eat
It's tough times for us, working hard to blow it up
The road is a lonely one, the ground is cold and rough
And we're still growing up, but I guess we're old enough
If you feel me, let me see your hands high, throw it up!
24 and we're riding
and we're riding on 24, and we're riding on 24
We got time but we ain't young any more
24 and we're riding, and we're riding on 24
Nothing is infinite in this world, there's always time in it
Nothing lasts and everything will pass in a flash in just minutes
24 and we're riding, and we're riding on 24
