Dacia Monet - Twenty4 Lyrics

I can remember as a teenager
You couldn't tell me nothin'
Such a shame if they tried to talk to me
I acted like I knew everything
Lil girl, you need to slow it down
Don't really what the world is bout
So how could be fed up?
You steady chasing dreams
But do you know where you're runnin' to?

I'm steady adjusting to the new thangs
Dealing with them new pains
Always seem to worry and wonder bout if I'm too late
Chasing down a new fate
Know that I ain't talked to you mama
I hope that you straight...
I know things ain't the best for us
I really pray it gets better cuz
Now that I am older I can truly understand
Everything you told me...

And now I caught up with that twenty four
Twenty four
Twenty four
It took a while for me train my focus
Find myself, and keep it forward
Everything that I'm grateful for
My struggles now, so beautiful
Yes I'm thankful to see twenty four
Twenty four
Twenty four

I really feel like it's a catch twenty-two
How I seem to know nothing bout everything
I was constantly searching for
Answers and miracles
Expecting perfection
I took my L's and my lessons
I got tired of puttin' on a facade
Steady searchin for cause
Had to look up in the mirror
Cuz that ain't you are
Why is it so hard
For me to understand that I only get one life to live?
So show a little more gratitude
Don't be catching attitudes
Hear the angels that speak to me...
They tell me step it up
Yes, I'm truly grateful for
The protection from
All of the things that I thought I really wanted once
You had a way to show me that it wasn't right

And now I caught up with that twenty four
Twenty four
Twenty four
It took a while for me train my focus
Find myself, and keep it forward
Everything that I'm grateful for
My struggles now, so beautiful
Yes I'm thankful to see twenty four
Twenty four
Twenty four

Stemming from my mama's pain
And my dad's mistakes
Damn it hurt like crazy
Grateful that I'm here today
Despite my ways
But I'm learning baby
Thankful to see twenty four
