Thelonious Martin
25 Lighters
[Verse 1]
I think it's clear that I'll be
One of the greatest
Ain't no debating
On the sideline biding my time
Patiently waiting
I been watching how the game go
Craft and then aim quotes
Praying that I never go blind
Boxing with Satan
Know the music relating
Cause I see at the shows
I might flex a lil reckless
But I speak to the soul
Only way to keep it G
Is just to you speak what you know
Gotta watch how I move
Cause n***as reap what they sow
Still that youngin from the county of Polk
And that'll never change
FLA raised
I make the whole state levitate
We the new breed that's coming out of the south
Ignored the heart full of Gold
So now it's all in our mouth
Pardon my reach
But I think we got the water for droughts
Nervous
But I learn
To turn my back on my doubts
Gotta get it for my mom and my sister
All of the fam
So you'll never see me stop
Without doing all that I can
(I got)

[Hook]
I got 25 lighters on the dressers, yes sir
Tryna figure out which one might blow
Tryna figure out how to get this doe
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul

[Verse 2]
Lately been questioned on my direction
Threatened for my complexion
Feel the hate and I skate it
You'd think my name was Ovechkin
My momma she was a teacher
My daddy he was a veteran
I grew up living with mama
But I was daddy's reflection
And this is part of the lecture
I'm slowly making it clearer
See a young OG
Everytime I look in the mirror
What you know about Talking wit mom
Watching her tear up
While she praying for a blessing
You praying God even hear us
My circle look like a period
Can't too many say they close to me
Got a faithful few and they know that
They mean the most to me
If I die tonight I'm outta sight
And that's how most knew me
I been killing beats and
Telling y'all to bring the ghost to me
I been on the road
I Ain't worried bout a skeptic
Hate or they love it
They always say the flows in the septic
I'm living on a dream
And promise not to neglect it
I spit narcotics these youngins is narcoleptic
(I got)

[Hook]
I got 25 lighters on the dressers, yes sir
Tryna figure out which one might blow
Tryna figure out how to get this doe
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul

[Verse 3]
I feel my life is like a movie
But not the hollywood type with mansions and jacuzzis
Its an indie film kept it real from the jump
I got cousins in the field who gotta sleep with the pump so
Who am I to try and keep it all PG
N***as need answers, now they turning to ouija
I’m just telling what we see, its death by the design
Not a thing getting changed unless it stress the bottom line
Spare a dime, spare a dime could you spare a quarter
One day i hope to find a wife Lord, can you spare a daughter
Here in Florida, I been feeling like I’m at the top of my craft
Top of the charts, be looking like colostomy bags
I’m spilling my heart they looking like you gots to be playin
Cause don’t nobody speak they mind bruh
They follow the trends
So we in ya city and we here to change the game up
We them boys making all the noise tell em blame us

[Hook]
I got 25 lighters on the dressers, yes sir
Tryna figure out which one might blow
Tryna figure out how to get this doe
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul
25 lighters on the dressers, yes sir
Tryna figure out which one might blow
Tryna figure out how to get this doe
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul
Tryna figure out how to keep my soul
