23 Lyrics by Chelji

2022

[Intro]
How old are you now?
23
K, makes sense

[Verse 1]
'Cause I did way too many drugs when I was young
Mama told me "Chelji, why you so damn dumb?"
My doctor told me that I'm fucking up my lungs
Four more years and I'll be in the 27 club

[Chorus]
(Ooh)
Most my friends are dead now
Living in my head now
(Ooh)
Wishing I was them now
I'm fucked up in the head now

[Verse 2]
Said I shoulda died at 17
Now I'm 23, felt like I outlived all my enemies
I'ma be the last one in my family tree
Now the drugs is catching up to me
Heaven or hell, I'll go to either one
The recent loss is why I keep a...

[Chorus]
(Ooh)
Most my friends are dead now
Living in my head now
(Ooh)
Wishing I was them now
I'm fucked up in the head now

[Refrain]
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
I'm only 23
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Outlive my homies

[Verse 3]
People always wanna judge
Shoulda said my side but I shut the fuck up (Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up)
Know I still think 'bout our...
Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up

[Chorus]
(Ooh)
Most my friends are dead now
Living in my head now
(Ooh)
Wishing I was them now
I'm fucked up in the head now

[Refrain]
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
I'm only 23
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Outlive my homies

[Outro]
Said I shoulda died at 17
Now I'm 23, felt like I outlived all my enemies
I'ma be the last one in my family tree
Now the drugs is catching up to me
