Hangin’ on like the gray beneath a cloud after a storm

Movin’ my pumas faster than I can afford

I’m outta luck, I’m outta time,

I’m outta love, I’m outta somethin’

a-o-a-o

Nothins changed. Since the age of eighteen we’ve been runnin’ loose

Shootin’ at the same dream, we’ve been jumpin’ hoops

I’m only human, not much to me,

Nothin’ super but my pumas

a-o-a-o

Chorus

You’re never gonna be

Twenty-somethin’ again

So while I’m runnin’ free

You’re stuck payin’ your rent

Relationship after relationship

Walkin’ the line between commitment and addiction similar to favorite kicks

And it’s a hard sell and hard to tell

what’s real

Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah

Cos’ it’s a hard sell and hard to tell now,

What’s heartfelt

Right- right- right- right

I never walked the aisle

I didn’t say goodbye

I just hopped on my bike and headed all the way back home

Graduation’s a state of mind

Ya say “next year”, I say tomorrow

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up- Twenty Somethin’ America

Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah

Now it goes from strugglin’ to get pride

From rushin’ to pick a side

(Appreciated long as you’re affiliated)

When it comes down to pickin’ a fight

They’ll ditch ya quick to dry

(I throw it down without a crew or with a crowd)

I packed a blade just in case, brass knuckles for a ruckus

The city is a jungle and I do not live for nothin’

If ya walk the Northside of Minneapolis

I think ya get my drift and understand where this is headed

There’s no answers, there’s no closure

Not enough resolve to be so sure

That every ghetto has to settle, all attention is acceptance

That the world ain’t spinnin’ off its frickin’ axis into space

I never told ya “hi”, I didn’t say goodbye

I never gave ya anything to think it’s gon’ be alright

It’s a world worth savin’ or a waste of time

Ya say next year, I say right now

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up (add it up)

Add it up- Twenty Somethin’ America

Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah

You’re never gonna be

Twenty-somethin’ again

So while I’m runnin’ free

You’re stuck payin’ the debt

You’re never gonna be

Twenty-somethin’ again

So while I’m runnin’ free

You’re stuck with your girlfriend

You’re never gonna be

Twenty-somethin’ again

So while I’m runnin’ free

You’re stuck payin’ your rent
