[Intro]
Yeah
Funny how when you’re seventeen
Thirty sounds old as hell
Then you get here
And realize you’re just getting started
[Verse 1]
I thought I’d have it figured out before I hit this age
House, money, peace of mind, everything on one page
Thought success had a deadline, thought I’d know the route
Instead I learned adulthood is mostly figuring it out
Got scars from my twenties, got mistakes I still review
People I should’ve left sooner, things I should’ve never do
Years I spent surviving when I should’ve learned to build
But surviving kept me breathing, so I can’t call it wasted still
Now the mirror got a man where the kid used to stand
Still got fire in his chest, just a steadier hand
Still ambitious, still hungry, but the reasons matured
I don’t need everybody watching just to know I’m moving forward
[Hook]
Thirty-something
Still got miles left to run
Still got dreams I ain’t finished
Still got work that ain’t done
Thirty-something
I ain’t late, I just took a different road
Had to carry more weight
So it took me longer to unload
I don’t care where you’re at
If you’re still moving, you’re becoming
I thought life would be over by now
I’m thirty-something
[Verse 2]
Used to compare my life to everybody on the screen
Watching people buy houses, live the life I thought I’d need
Had to remind myself they never walked the road I walked
Never paid the same price, never fought the fights I fought
I lost years to anger, lost years trying to belong
Lost years proving people wrong who ain’t around that long
But every wrong turn showed me what direction felt right
Now I’m finally building something instead of surviving the night
Got responsibilities heavy, got a daughter getting older
Every birthday hits different, every year makes me bolder
’Cause time ain’t waiting on me, and I know that shit is real
But pressure ain’t a reason to forget how far I’ve healed
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m behind somebody
Maybe I’m ahead of someone else
Doesn’t matter
This ain’t their clock
This is mine
[Verse 3]
Now I’m thinking ownership, freedom, something I can leave
Trying to make reality from everything I still believe
Got ideas that sound crazy till the crazy thing gets built
Got a future worth protecting from the habits that I killed
I still worry sometimes that I waited way too long
Then I remember everything I had to overcome to get strong
Some people start at zero, some start buried underneath
So don’t judge somebody’s finish by the time it took to breathe
And if forty comes tomorrow, I’ll keep working anyway
Success ain’t getting younger, it’s refusing to decay
I’m not racing anybody, I got something left to prove
Not to them—to the kid inside who never thought we’d make it through
[Final Hook]
Thirty-something
Still got miles left to run
Still got dreams I ain’t finished
Still got work that ain’t done
Thirty-something
I ain’t late, I just took a different road
Had to carry more weight
So it took me longer to unload
I don’t care where you’re at
If you
