It was our deployment that truely defined the term 4th Quarter. No more was it just the words Alvin Green spoke one Friday night... It was the mentality we embraced. The 4th Quarter in the game of our lives. This is where we had to play thru our injuries both mental and physical, because losing was not an option. There were no timeouts or instant replays... no penalties or flags on the play... and no home field advantage. This was whether or not we ever stepped foot on the field to play again, and the most humbling moment of our lives. There, there is no such thing as overtime, or a tie. You either win or you lose. And, we were down 1, faced with a decision to which there was only one answer. Go for two. Because, anything less was to have given up without ever having tried to win. And winning there was the difference between life and death.
That same mentality inspires our music. 4th25 music. Consider this your 2 minute warning!!!"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think y'all understand
What m going through the stress is killin me
My better halfs back home fuckin round
Least that's what they telling me
She always in the clubs now
And she ain't used to party
Say she fuckin em probably
While I'm over here dodging bullets
Throwin em back at haji
She got her ass up in something tight
Trying to get fucked properly
They seen her last night
Hugged up in the movies
Wit some nigga
Obviously scheming trying to sleep wit my pussy
Try not to sweat it though this blood
Runs hot through me
This is fire y'all fuckin wit now
Please speak truthfully
Plus I'm hearing she don't be home
Not half as much as she used to
Got me callin home naw
She ain't pickin up like she used to
And I've heard all the stories
Bout how we deploy and they do us
And now my money spends
A lil bit faster than what it used toâ?¦ I don't know
Chorus
The whole time I'm gon
She was running round
I thought we were in love
I know what love is now
She's telling me one thing
Doin another
Now everyday it seems
Harder to trust her
I don't know
The fuck is really happening
I don't know
If I'm over reacting
I don't know
If she's home bein faithful
While I'm goneâ?¦
V2
When we talk now its always something
Startin an argument
Specially when I ask her
Why she's never home and all the money she spent
She say she got needs
Sometimes she need to be with her friends
But then I tell her what they tell me
Now she defensive as shit
Her whole story starts changing
How the fuck can I trust this bitch
When she tell me something one week
The next week she forgets
Nothing but more lies and excuses
Everytime she move her lips
2 in the morning cell phone
Ringing in the background loud as shit
I'm trying to, keep my cool
Can't afford to lose focus
Cause here that shit el get me killed
Even if just for a moment
so I let a lot of shit slide
Even shit I'm not supposed to
But it gets harder to cope wit
Not knowin if this is really happening
I've seen this movie played before
So I know what happens
She run them streets I'm trying to
Stay alive in Baghdadâ?¦
fuck her
Yeah I love her but trust is a mother fucker
And she make it harder to believe her
Everytime I talk to her
Chorus
V3
Get it together sweetheart
I can tell that you lying
Cause we ain't talking like we used to
Plus its getting harder to find you
I know its issues
War is not easy but you create more problems
Still act like nothins happening
I just want you to be honest
If it ain't no other mofucker
Than tell me who the fuck is this guy then
I hear you always with
That just a friend shit I ain't buyin
Though you sell it like the truth
No not now don't start crying
Cause I know that won't your girl
Last week you was outta town with
Look its too easy to tell the truth
Instead you denied it
Even worse I know you full a shit
And you still trying to hide it
Don't worry the paperworks in progress
We can put this behind us
But now you wanna come clean
Say you don't know where your mind went
You got lonely when I left
Needed someone to spend your time with
And you only slept wit em once
Sorry, that's too many times bitch
The fuck I look like
Holdin on when you let go
And fuck I look like takin you back
I don't keep trash in my home

When her phone rings at 2am
Ringing in the background loud as shit
It's ringing super loudly in the background

Can't afford to lose focus

Though you sell it like the truth
Though you try to sell it like the truth
No not now don't start crying

Cause I know that won't your girl
Because that's not how you usually act

We can put this behind us
We can move on from this
But now you wanna come clean
But now you want to come clean
Say you don't know where your mind went
Saying you don't know what you were thinking
You got lonely when I left
You got lonely when I left
Needed someone to spend your time with
You needed someone to spend time with
And you only slept wit em once
But you did more than spend time, you slept with them
Sorry, that's too many times bitch
One time is already too many
The fuck I look like

Holdin on when you let go
Should I hold on when you're already letting go
And fuck I look like takin you back
And why should I take you back
I don't keep trash in my home
I don't keep trash in my home
