Here's to the young and to the old
Different chapters, different books, truth be told
Thirty-five and wild, sixty-five and wise
Generations apart, both trying to rise
Up beyond, class and ages
Smoking stages
Protesting through the rage of sixty-five
And I'm cool and live
Life's a vape in my hand
Y'all don't understand
You thirty-five and stressed, trying to make it, man
Trying to make it, man
I hear you and I hear y'all, damn
Damn
About doubt, just run them laps, man
But you love them apps, I'ma take this nap
'Cause you drunk on fame, trying to get that name
Chasing them likes instead of rocking the mic
And if grey is whack, then I'm silver and black
At this stage and age, I raid the sour grapes attack
You are what you ate, you think how you drink
Sexagenarian Vape, the box and the tapes
Texting fast, you're on the go, I'm taking it slow
You're hitting the screen, I got a book, yo
Think I'm worried about looks? No
Forget trends and friends that you don't know
Vape in the future, avoid the mess
You tripping on stress
Pop-pop got that hip-hop, yo
What the fuck is a sexagenarian, Chuck?
Sexagenarian Vape, I rock the box and the tapes
Fear of a black superhero wearing a cape
At this age, I smoke the stage
Sexagenarian Vape, Sexagenarian Vape
I digs into them old-school crates
Thumbing through them OG greats
Away from the age of sour grapes of hate
Sexagenarian Vape, Sexagenarian Vape
I rock the box and the tapes
Fear of a black superhero wearing a cape
At this age, I smoke the stage
Sexagenarian Vape, Sexagenarian Vape
I digs into them old-school crates
Thumbing through them OG greats
Away from the age of sour grapes of hate
Sexagenarian Vape
I can dig it, you can dig it, we can dig it, all can dig it
Can you dig it, baby?
Yeah
It's sort of like playing Russian roulette
Time pulls the trigger
Here's to the young and old
I rock the box and the tapes
Superhero
Old-school crates
