Twenty Five - 大河内力太郎
Lyrics by:大河内力太郎
Composed by:大河内力太郎
Heads or tails
Mhmm
I wonder which side I'll get
You are now a samurai
Twenty five years around the sun
Lookin' back at what I've done
Got two egos instead of one
It's a struggle I confront
Now I'm starin' back at me
Can you tell me who you see
A Japanese kid with a redneck
I attest I can't rest
Till I be the best
Drinkin' by my bedside
Can only be a landslide
I coincide with the boy inside
Personified by a bonafide
Wild west samurai
In the East through the city
Neon lights and actin' pretty
Cosplay fashion
They attractin' transformation
From real-life to an anime
I'd die if I fake it
Realize I'm in studio
Dressed right for the cameo
2 separate identities
Consider me a felony
Cowboy my soul is tellin' me
Samurai never rest in peace
Exist to coincide
Better read between the lines
I'd fail even if I tried
Acculturation that's my life huh
All I see is a kid with
Black hair and thin eyes
That's all I see
I've gotta wear a face
Just to save face
In this crowd and I try
To be me
It's a gift shouldn't compare
And realize
Shouldn't compare and realize
And I know it's my chance
And I know it's my fate
A showdown between the cowboy
And the samurai
An internal struggle
Lookin' in but only seein' out
Is a person a product
Of E-X perience
Is blood the main ingredient
Or features from inheritance
Can you please enlighten me
Dual identity is killin' me
Suicide ain't my tendency
But livin' this feels like
A tragedy
It's only me
I'm fightin' me
Frightened of what I see
Country boy to the city
Katana out this fight
Is a double-edged sword
Quickdraw gunslinger
What you aimin' for
Slash left and right
This ain't a problem
I should die for
I'm killin' me slowly
Forgettin' my integrity
Standstill we level our eyes
Capsize the hate in our minds
Conflict we made in our hearts
Sublime let go of our arms
Shapeless I'm like water
Shameless I'll be a martyr
I'll sing life's almamater
I'll die proud as a fighter
All I see is a kid with
Black hair and thin eyes
That's all I see
I've gotta wear a face
Just to save face
In this crowd and I try
To be me
It's a gift shouldn't compare
And realize
Shouldn't compare and realize
And I know it's my chance
And I know it's my fate
I'm livin' through
All these stages
Flippin' through all these pages
Document the monument
Internal conflict
That was wagin'
Inside of me
I'll embody one soul
And two spirits
Protect with a sword
And I'll spear it
Take a deep breath
When did you reflect
The only reflections
Are the one's bouncin' off
Your smartphone
Meditation couldn't be
Without the M-E
Send me one for the dual role
Don't care for the payroll
Hailed from
The land of the rising sun
Surely I'll be risin' up
I'll be turnin'
Spotlights into solar power
Got power in my kanji
Got fire burnin' in me
Got inspired by my identity
More or less received
It's time to give back
To those who couldn't react
Consumed by their inner doubt
Conflicted left on the couch
Just plan on playin'
To your strengths
And go the length and reach out
To the other half it's you
So be proud
Yell out to the world now
