Produced by Jahosh

Lyrics

25

[Verse 1: Aminé]

She 25

25

Went back to school

Cause she lost her job

Takin' 25 credits just to get some leverage

Payin' $2,500 every damn semester

Professors never recognize her

Always skippin' class cause nobody taught her manners

Then she heads home unlike a vagabond

Evicted like her ex's dick is never let her back in

So she head to her friends just to kick it for a bit

Tried to get some brew

Only got 25 cents

But copped a new weave

Shit like 25 inch

Got a 25 waist with them 34 hips

Had dreams but the struggle got to her

Said fuck her damn job

I'mma let niggas maneuver

In and now she got no friends

And now she cryin' on kitchen floor because she so hopeless

[Hook]

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

[Verse 2: Aminé]

He 25

Minus 5

Penalized for his crimes so he did some time

Stressed out, was thinkin' suicide

Copped a 9

Then he broke down and cried

Couldn't do it

Felt like he was stupid

At least 25 angels went and helped them bullets

25s on his 05' Impala

Had bitches jumpin' for him with that goddamn hydraulics

Wizard was that the sizzurp' controlled him

Caught a 25 bitch just for 25 sticks

Got lucky

But he never learned his lesson

Went to the Louis store

Stole like 25 belts and wallets

Plus he had no knowledge

Cops was like 2 to 5 blocks from his house

And tried to get away but the feds just caught him

Tried to get his wallet

But stereotypes got him shot and

He singin'

[Hook]

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

[Verse 3: Tos]

25 to life

25 to life

I got 20 on the paddle

Fuck puttin' up fight

Fuck puttin' up fight

Its the weekend

It's the freakin weekend

I need a freak in the deep end

Past 25 feet in

This past week got me thinkin'

The hardest part about my life is

Trynna write in

16 lines how my life is

Times spent priceless

Still try to bite in

So I want it like ninety

So I wonder like Stevie

What's wrong

What's right

Two chicks

One black one white

But the same at night, oh my

Okay fuck monogamy

Need at least dos

And as long as both need Tos

No problemo they gone get what they want

They gone get this work

Fuck all your feelings

We all living tryin' to make a livin'

Harder for a 5 tryin' make a killin'

Hard day worker just to spend it all sinnin'

Lord willin'

Stop being fearful and careless

Stop being fearless and careful

Lookin' in the mirror like look at you

You a king I should kneel to you

New folks couldn't say no hablo ingles

Nights and nightmares and then the day starts right here

And time probably die here

Can't tell if I'm alive here

Like

[Hook]

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

Life is never promised

You gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it

You got dreams, you got dreams, who fuckin' doesn't?

Gotta struggle for your hustle if you really want it
