Lyrics

[Intro]

Twenty-six candles

One more year on my plate

Watching legends turn to murals

I ain’t tryna meet that fate (nah)

[Verse 1]

Mama kept the TV low

Every time they said “another one gone”

Same age as your baby boy

She just turned that channel, moved on

I was in the basement

Dreaming bout arenas and a different zip code

Didn’t know the price tag

Came with demons that don’t ever get old

Friends sipping poison like it’s holy water

I was on the couch, scrolling through the slaughter

Every headline like a horoscope

“Gifted kid, lost hope”

I don’t wanna be a T-shirt

Face on a wall, lil’ quote, cheap flowers

I want gray hair, bad knees

Still rapping off beat, still ours (yeah)

[Chorus]

I’m not tryna be in the 27 club

I’m tryna see my grandkids fall in love

They can keep that velvet rope in the sky

I got way too many verses left to write

I’m not tryna be in the 27 club

Pour that poison down the drain, not in my blood

If I go out, it’s old age, not a rush

Twenty-six ain’t my ending, that ain’t us (that ain’t us)

[Verse 2]

Used to chase numb

Couple little pills in a plastic bag

“Try it, you’ll be fine, bro”

Whole room laughed, I just laughed back

But I seen the bathroom floor

Cold tile, shaky hands, blue lips

Paramedics in a hallway

Mama praying over group texts

I got cousins that don’t get a second take

Got a mirror with a name on the stake

Every time I see my eyes in the glass

I remember that it’s fragile, can’t fake

Yeah, the crowd say “more”

Promoter wanna squeeze one extra tour date

But I’m pulling rank on my soul

Sleep in my own bed, I’m straight (I’m good)

[Chorus]

I’m not tryna be in the 27 club

I’m tryna see my grandkids fall in love

They can keep that velvet rope in the sky

I got way too many verses left to write

I’m not tryna be in the 27 club

Pour that poison down the drain, not in my blood

If I go out, it’s old age, not a rush

Twenty-six ain’t my ending, that ain’t us

[Bridge]

[Orchestra swells in, gospel hums under]

I got homies in the ground that still talk to me

Every time I wanna slip, they walk with me

Hear ’em saying, “Lil Mac, please breathe

We already paid that fee” (yeah)

So I trade one night for a lifetime

Trade one high for a sunrise

If I gotta choose between the love and the life

I’ll take both, hands wide, that’s mine (that’s mine)

[Chorus]

I’m not tryna be in the 27 club

I’m tryna see my grandkids fall in love

They can keep that velvet rope in the sky

I got way too many verses left to write

I’m not tryna be in the 27 club

Pour that poison down the drain, not in my blood

If I go out, it’s old age, not a rush

Twenty-six ain’t my ending, that ain’t us

[Outro]

[Choir answers each line softly]

I’m still here, still breathing (still breathing)

Still broke, still healing (still healing)

If the legends had one more season

They’d tell us, “Boy, keep living for a reason” (keep living)

Twenty-six candles

One more year on my plate

I ain’t tryna be a painting

I’m tryna stay late, I’m tryna stay late (yeah)
