25 to Life Lyrics
[ Chorus ] x2
Too late for the other side
Caught in a chase 25 to life
[ Verse 1 ]
I dont think she understands the sacrifices that I made
Maybe if this bitch had acted right I wouldve stayed
But ive already wasted over half of my life I wouldve laid
Down and died for you I no longer cry for you
No more pain bitch you
Took me for granted took my heart and ran it straight into the planet
Into the dirt I can no longer stand it
Now my respect I demand it
Imma take control of this relationship
Command it, and imma be the boss of you now goddamnit
And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me
So you better hear me out this much you owe me
I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you while ive stayed
Paved for all the way this is how I fucking get repaid
Look at how I dress fucking baggy sweats, go to work a mess
Always in a rush to get back to you I aint heard you yet
Not even once say you apreciate me I deserve respect
I’ve done my best to give you nothing less than perfectness
And I know that if I end this I’ll no longer have nothing left
But you keep treating me like a staircase its time to fucking step
And I wont be coming back so dont hold your fucking breath
You know what youve done no need to go in depth
I told you, youd be sorry if I fucking left
Id laugh while you wept
Hows it feel now, yeah, funny aint it, you neglected me
Did me a favor though my spirit free you’ve set
But a special place for you in my heart I have kept
It’s unfortunate but its,
[ Chorus ] x2
[ Verse 2 ]
I feel like when I bend over backwards for you all you do is laugh
Cause that aint good enough you expect me to fold myself in half till I snap
Don’t think I’m loyal? all I do is rap
How can I moonlight on the side
I have no life outside of that
Don’t I give you enough of my time you dont think so do you?
Jealous when I spend time with the girls
Why im married to you still man I dont know
But tonight im serving you with papers I’m divoricing you
Go marry someone else and make em famous
And take away their freedom like you did to me
Treat em like you dont need them and they aint worthy of you
Feed em the same shit you made me eat
Im moving on forget you oh
Now im special, I ain’t felt special when I was with you hoe
All I ever felt was this, helplessness
Imprisoned by a selfish bitch
Chew me up and spit me out
I fell for this so many times its ridiculous
And still I stick with this
Im sick of this but in my sickness aint addiction
Your addictiveness take it
Evil as they come vindictive as they make em
My friends keep asking why I cant just walk away from, I’m addicted
To the pain, the stress, the drama
Im drownin so I guess I’ma mess cursed and blessed
But this time I ain’t changing my mind
I’m climbing out this abyss
You screaming as I walk out that ill be missed
But when you spoke to people who meant the most to you
You left me off your list so Fuck you hip-hop
Im leaving you, my life sentence is served bitch and it’s just
[ Chorus ]
