LYRICS:
Quarter-life crisis, quarter-life crisis
I don’t know where I might just, -know where I might just
Be in a year or two or five, I might
Be in the same place now, just dyin’ 

I’m dyin’ to live, but not livin’ to give
Myself a life beyond the way of the kid,
Still livin’ in my momma’s house, with nothing to give.
I don’t know what I want to do,
How to do what I wanted to. 
Every time I try, I get stuck in a constant loop
Of mediocrity. Not even Socrates
Can fill this spot for me.
My philosophy’s this: I wanna be rich.
But not rich from the money trees,
Rich from my loyalties. I’m loyal to family,
I’m loyal to fun and things. Basically…

I just wanna be happy.
And I’m not happy alone,
So I don’t wanna leave home
‘Til I can start up my own
Flock of birds, but it’s gotta be hers too.
And I don’t know how to meet her; I don’t know if I’m the dude she’s been looking for

(So I’m livin’ in a) quarter-life crisis, quarter-life crisis
I don’t know where I might just, -know where I might just
Be in a year or two or five, I might
Have a wife, a home, a car that’s right.

The future’s never told.
That’s why I write my life 
Into existence, hop over the fences
To get back on the path, instead of staying set in / my ways. (1:37)
(‘Cause I / still / got / ways to go)
Way to go, J-R3MI.
Wow, you got plenty of fans now.
You even got chicks with they ass out,
But nobody to love; you all on your lonesome.
At least you ain’t a virgin, fucked all over the sofa.
But then you say, “So what?
It woulda been so good
If I went back to school to get that diploma.”
You could’ve made it to Hollywood,
Had a jolly-good time meeting actors of all kinds,
Even starred in a movie,
Better yet, gotten groovy with your peer on camera 9.
There’s just something about her; maybe it’s in her eyes.
You’ve been dating for some time.
Now, it’s come lunch time.
You’re thinking of asking an important question or punchline,
But you just chicken out. Later on, she finds the ring.
Then she does your number-one fuckin’ favorite thing.
(She just stands there and stares,
And then,) she says, “yes.”

(Spoken)
She does it in her sexy-ass way, though,
Bites her lip and fuckin’ jumps into your arms and shit,
Looks in your eyes like staring into your fucking soul and just tells you—without even having to say it out loud—that she fucking loves you.
Like, bro, she’s the fucking one!
I call this a success. Crisis averted.
I’ma get my ass out this booth and make this shit happen.
Make the life I wanna live. Hope you do too.
