letra de 24 years - oddfelix

i’m nothing i hoped to be at twenty four
red bank balance, plus i’m hot with no degrees because i dropped out
living fast, trying to get the life we’re all craving for
duties piling high, like a mountain, i wonder if i’ll ever rest
i still have big dreams, but since it’s night, i’m sleeping on them
i still have big plans, i just still planning on how to follow them
oddmas came and i made a mark, that was enough to get me high
one year later, none of my poems are on spotify!
ashthursday still running, we’re elephants in the room
23 yеars is still loved, my voice is still on your speakеrs
events had me as a speaker, i’m still waiting for their alerts
the disappointment i’m getting is now keeping me on alert
i’ve learnt so much, but i’m too lazy to practice
pure bliss ate up my savings, now i’m looking for new tactics;
24 years and once i tried to live on my own
i came, i saw, i was conquered, and now i’m back to my mother house

now, i’m travelling round the country, and performing poetry, just never never had the gig of
my dreams
now, i’m clearing my debts, and i’m trying to invest, just so i could feel cool about myself
now i’m looking at all my friends earning by hosting masterclasses, and wondering if i
should do mine or not
now i’m with mixed feelings about the year, how coronavirus ate it, making my friends broker
than i am
got myself a queen and she treats me like a king
took me in her wings, became part of my dreams;
long distance, so we took a lot a trips
and now family and friends are asking when i’m getting married
facebook friends asking if i’m still a virgin
i’ve gotten so much attention that i’m feeling at ease;
and, random question, how do you feel when you hear covers of your own poem?
don’t you feel like a celebrity?
before i forget, i still lie to myself
and one more thing, i still overrate myself;
i can’t act surprised when good comes my way
because of spoken word poetry, because i know i paid my dues
my cousin told me, “felix, see, you’re now a man.”
when my neighbor repeated it, i was scared as h-ll
i’ve not learnt much recently
plus i’m dealing with going through a life i did not ask for
i’ve been high, mehn, but see i never broke a hymen
folk no longer point at me and say i’m g-y, it’s sad, mehn!
three years since a boy hit on me, see, it’s weird, mehn
i still wear skinny jeans, and uncombed hair, i don’t care, mehn
i never said i was best around here
i only said i’m someone you can’t try to ignore
i’m still counting social media likes and liking posts i may not like
and doing everything just like you, see i’m like you
and then there’s this thought that one day
you’ll wake up and decide that i’m overrated
24 years and i’m looking at the mirror like
in 24 years, i’ve never seen a finer face
