I am twenty-one
It’s a nice age to reach
Am I an adult?
Yes, it’s hard to believe

Thought I was a man
In my late teenage years
Rented porno tapes
And gambled without fear

Lived with my parents
I showed them no respect
But now I’m workin’
Gotta earn that paycheck

I am twenty-one
It’s a nice age to reach
Am I an adult?
Yes, it’s hard to believe

Now my crib is cramped
And my ride needs repairs
Frankins and Benjamins
Bills piled up everywhere

My woman’s naggin’
In the family way
Need a house real bad
My credit’s not OK

I am twenty-one
It’s a nice age to reach
Am I an adult?
Yes, it’s hard to believe

Way too much pressure
Being age twenty-one
What more can I do?
‘Cept drink and buy a gun

There’s no place I can run, Y'all
Twenty-one just ain’t all that fun…
