I'm A Man Of 27
I’m a man of 27, I have not lived long
Imagine a man of 87, watching a 40 year old
He will see he’s just got started, there is more to come
Young people think they know so much

We are born into this world as naïve angels
In the teenage we get destroyed and we destroy ourselves
After being crushed we need to get things right again
It’s only then that true perspective comes

You might be a spoiled and rich kid around 30
With a good career and all, but probably still a child
Or you might be a poor and beaten man around 40
Life teaches us in different ways

People judge by judging clothes and how much you get paid
That’s what matters to them, they don’t value with clarity
If you are strong and rich and false, then probably you’ll get laid
Girls don’t get turned on by simple charity

There’s a problem with us humans, we are stupid
But that’s no problem, we don’t notice, ‘cause we’re stupid
If you remember death is real, that it’s real for real
Then you stop and see things more clear
