paroles de chanson 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 Years is still loved, my voice is still on your speakers.
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's house.

Now, I'm traveling round the country,
And performing poetry, just 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.
I got myself a Queen and she treats me like a king,
She 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 hell.
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 gay, see, 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.
