Lyrics:
35 by Chad Lewine
Hello, hello
It’s Chad here
Are you ready to go?
I’m ready to go
I’m ready to fly
I’m ready to buy a house by 35
World ain’t the same
Time flies back
Strapped by cash rats
Smacked by stock smash
Let the world fall
I’m standing tall
Wanna stay alive
Wanna buy a house by 35
I, I wanna buy
I wanna buy
I wanna buy a house
Wanna buy a house by 35
Thirty five
I wanna thrive
I wanna stay alive
I wanna buy a house by 35
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Hey now
Talkin’ bout
News I can’t take
Rubbing sticks
Don’t give shit
Just hit the quit switch
But I’ll be alright
I push to survive
Not gonna lie
Really need to take this chance
While I still got time
I, I wanna buy
I wanna buy
I wanna buy a house
Wanna buy a house by 35
Thirty five
I wanna thrive
I wanna stay alive
I wanna buy a house by 35
Oh everything changes
Never be the same
Never gonna be the same again
Took about a thousand pounds
Still counted me out
But I’m gonna put a hurt on them
You know
They don’t want us to be happy
But they gon’ find out
It’s no longer their town
I’m gon’ buy a house
Work hard, play hard
It’s way hard
Just wanna make
Just wanna make
Work hard, play hard
It’s way hard
When I just wanna make
I just wanna make art
I, I wanna buy
I wanna buy
I wanna buy a house
Wanna buy a house by 35
Thirty five
I wanna thrive
I wanna stay alive
I wanna buy a house by 35
Oh I wanna buy
I wanna buy
I wanna buy a house
Wanna buy a house by 35
Thirty five
I wanna thrive
I wanna stay alive
I wanna buy a house by 35
Whoa oh (I’m gonna buy a house)
Whoa oh (Gonna buy it right now)
Hey now (They gon’ find out)
Talkin’ bout
