Lyrics

[Chorus]
Did you ever believe
Yeah, this life owes you more than you have?
Try and take it from me
No, oh, got nothing to lose but twenty-one grams
Just let it all go, don't fuck with your man
When the weight of a soul, just twenty-one grams
Just let it all go, send love to your fam
When the weight of a soul, just twenty-one grams
It ain't but twenty-one grams, ain't but twenty-one grams
Just twenty-one grams
[Verse 1]
One life here to foster, no time here to squander
Grew wiser and stronger, yet still tryna conjure
A little ray of sunshine in a quagmire
For the prize on offer, we divide and we conquer
If I fight any longer, I'ma start looking like all my rivals
And in time, will give rise to a monster
Gotta be more to life than sort of like every morning rise and shine
I wanna see all the lights on tour life then immortalised in time
What's the weight of a human soul?
Does it change if bruised or old?
Famine or fame, man it's all the same
That's what you stand to gain verse lose it all
[Verse 2]
All that glitters ain't gold
What's royal is loyalty shown to your fam
What's the weight of your soul?
They say it ain't nothing but twenty-one grams
Slow dance with the devil
He asked for my signature written in blood
I won't bow to that level, know I can do better in death
Hope my spirits have risen above
But yo, will I be judged on the good and bad that I've done in my life?
When I'm writing these songs, I'm righting my wrongs
That's how it feels with each word I recite
Like I'm earning the right to be making amends
Apologies given to all of my friends
If ever I dissed you, know that I didn't mean to offend
[Chorus]
Did you ever believe
Yeah, this life owes you more than you have?
Try and take it from me
No, oh, got nothing to lose but twenty-one grams
Just let it all go, don't fuck with your man
When the weight of a soul, just twenty-one grams
Just let it all go, send love to your fam
When the weight of a soul, just twenty-one grams
It ain't but twenty-one grams, ain't but twenty-one grams
Just twenty-one grams
[Verse 3]
And I, can't help but feel a little blessed
Like yes, I'ma do it better than the best I can
I'ma get it in with whatever I have like damn by chance
Do you wanna take my hand, do you wanna dance in the middle of the street like me?
Side-step it to the left of the center
'Cause I've never been a fan of that right wing bullshit and negativity
Check it out, I don't mean to preach, this is not an anthem
Tuka's on a rant, let me pen a bit of peace, fuck a hand gun
If your head's buried in the sand
Then understand I'm just tryna get a bit of free in me
Get a bit of free in me
Dive deep, sight-seeing the earth on Cloud Nine
Dreaming, free as a bird
Try to focus when the scenery blurs
[Verse 4]
Bringing life into this world
Like's bringing a grain of sand to the beach, but
Thing is that this little girl's like ten point five grams of you, me, love
Everything from our past is passed on
It survives, it's alive in our daughter
You ever think there's a link when we pass on?
She might have passed on five and a quarter
Immortalized, I thought that I had everything I wanted
It all was lies, there's more to life, couldn't put my finger on it
My daughter's eyes, I see my parents and your parents, too
Apparent when you stare into her eyes
And she got a pair like you
[Chorus]
Did you ever believe
Yeah, this life owes you more than you have?
Try and take it from me
No, oh, got nothing to lose but twenty-one grams
Just let it all go, don't fuck with your man
When the weight of a soul, just twenty-one grams
Just let it all go, send love to your fam
When the weight of a soul, just twenty-one grams
It ain't but twenty-one grams, ain't but twenty-one grams
Just twenty-one grams
[Outro]
Just twenty-one grams
Did you ever believe
Yeah, this life owes you more than you have?
Try and take it from me
No, oh, got nothing to lose but twenty-one grams
