[Verse 1]
Maybe it was God saying, "I’m gonna test you"
I was falling off, pretty high with no parachute
My parents got divorced, I should’ve already been a man
It took me two more years to comprehend
I finally saw him, he said “I’m gonna bless you”

[Pre-Chorus]
I was looking back, not forward
(I was looking back, not forward)
Ayy, all the kids got so much older
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We came up with no problems
So when they came it was difficult to solve ‘em
No, I can’t blame it on my Mama (mama)
For loving me so much

[Chorus]
I’m 24 and I just woke up
(I’m 24 and I just woke up)
My time is coming, but it took so much
(My time is coming, but it took so much)
And all my friends are five years younger than me
Though we all wish we knew what we know now
Yeah, yeah
I’m 24 and I just woke up
(I’m 24 and I just woke up)
My time is coming, but it took so much
[Verse 2]
Find me in my heart 'cause my head had no room left
I was addicted to things that are useless
I didn’t give a fuck, I would treat a brother wrong
And just put the pity into a song, yeah
It isn’t perfect, but I feel like a new man
(Now just let it ride a little bit)

[Chorus]
I’m 24 and I just woke up
(I’m 24 and I just woke up)
My time is coming, but it took so much
(My time is coming, but it took so)
I’m 24 and I just woke up
(I’m 24 and I just woke up)
My time is coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming
Coming, coming, coming, but it took so much
