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!!!"

4th25 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they raised a daughter
And if you was mine
I'd be ashamed to have been your father
And you can talk all the shit you want
But I've seen you at your worst
And you stayed there the whole time
Talking bout his problems
And you couldn't even deal with yours
Runnin' your mouth like you wasn't being a
Bitch the whole tour
And I've had my short comings
But I reeled in the slack
When you allowed the pussy in you
To keep coming back
And you have to a noticed it
It was more than obvious
Cause the relationship
Y'all shared out here was managomous
And I've tried to ignore
But your just so loud
Thought your actions might humble you
But you won't quiet down
Its like you don't even see it
Either that or you don't show it
But you the biggest pussy out here
And everybody else knows it
Lie to yourself though
If that's how you get over it
I know we all holdin' our breathe
But how long you gon hold it
Don't act hard
Cause pussy's only get wet
And we've been waitin' the whole year
And you ain't been a man yet
And I know its hard to admit it
Cause the truth it hurts
That you ain't deploy with no balls
Only halter tops and skirts
And your conscious got to be killin you
And don't know how you handle it
Other than closing your eyes
And acting like it ain't happening
Maybe that's why
You judging everybody else
Cause you want em to feel
Exactly how you feel about yourself pussy
You so quick to point the finger
But you don't look in the mirror
Cause you don't wanna understand
That word pussy any clearer
And how could you pretend
To see anything else
When the only thing you've been about
Since day one here was yourself
And as long as your breathin
It'll be more excuses
And a million more reasons why
Somebody else should do it
And though you folded your hand
You act like you still playin'
But you always found wanting
Everytime you are weighed in
And it really don't bother me
Cause we'll carry your weight
We've done it from day one
What's 364 more days
And all I ask is one favor
And it ain't that much
Take a closer look at yourself
For you size anybody up
Cause you ain't left no room at all
To open your mouth and talk
Remember we seen you out the gate
You won't even get out the truck
Your courage is more than underfire
Its never enough
Cause the closest you came to standin' out here
Was when you bitched up
Chorus
V3
It's a whole lot a fuckers here
Probably too many
That's even worse than anybody talking shit
That's been a pussy
And its hard for me to understand
Though I understand scared
But some of the purple hearts
And bronze stars awarded round here
Now how the fuck did y'all get that
Cause you ain't do shit
Look I was there when marion went down
And you ain't get hit
And if I recall you ain't bleed at all
He almost lost a limb
Now how the fuck do you deserve
The same purple heart as him
And when they presented you with it
You accepted it proudly
And if I ever see you wearing it
Oh its coming the fuck off don't doubt me
And its more people than you
Runnin round here undeservant
So I apologize for all you fuckers
Awarded for lip service
Cause y'all ed never tell the truth
I'm here to keep you honest
That without your rank
These awards you wouldn't a gottem
And you talk about integrity
But won't admit that its wrong
For you to accept something
When you have done absolutely nothing at all
Chorus
The song "Pussy" by 4th25 is a scathing criticism of someone who is pretending to be tough and manly but is actually a spineless coward ("pussy"). The lyrics begin by calling out this person for having been raised like a girl, and expressing the sentiment that even as a hypothetical father, the artist would be ashamed to claim them as a child. The song continues to taunt and criticize this person for being a hypocrite who talks about other people's problems but can't handle their own, and for being a phony who tries to act tough when they are actually weak.
The lyrics are full of anger and frustration, and they seem to be directed at someone specific, although the identity of the person is not revealed. The artist accuses this person of being a fraud who is only pretending to be something they are not, and of cheating their way through life by accepting unearned awards and praise. Overall, the song is a powerful and raw expression of the artist's disgust for someone who they feel is a liar and a coward.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah your parents gave birth to a son
Your biological sex is male, but your actions and behavior align more closely with traditional societal expectations of femininity.
But they raised a daughter
Your upbringing and surroundings have influenced and molded you into embodying feminine attributes and qualities.
And if you was mine
I'd be ashamed to have been your father
If I were responsible for your existence, I would feel deep embarrassment and disappointment in myself.
And you can talk all the shit you want
But I've seen you at your worst
And you stayed there the whole time
So you gotta whole lotta nerve
You can boast and criticize others freely, but I have witnessed your lowest moments where you remained stuck, displaying a great deal of audacity and hypocrisy.
Talking bout his problems
And you couldn't even deal with yours
Runnin' your mouth like you wasn't being a
Bitch the whole tour
You openly discuss and complain about someone else's issues, yet you struggle to confront and handle your own, behaving in a demeaning and negative manner throughout the entire tour.
And I've had my short comings
But I reeled in the slack
When you allowed the pussy in you
To keep coming back
I acknowledge my flaws and mistakes, but I made the effort to improve and rectify them, unlike you who continually allowed your weak-willed nature to overpower you and repeat the same mistakes.
And you have to a noticed it
It was more than obvious
Cause the relationship
Y'all shared out here was managomous
You must have been aware of the evident truth, as your relationship with others was characterized by your submissive and dependent behavior.
And I've tried to ignore
But your just so loud
Thought your actions might humble you
But you won't quiet down
I attempted to disregard your attention-seeking behavior, hoping it would teach you humility and modesty, but you persist in displaying your arrogance and making noise.
Its like you don't even see it
Either that or you don't show it
But you the biggest pussy out here
And everybody else knows it
Either you are oblivious to your own shortcomings or you purposefully hide them, but it is widely recognized by everyone that you are the embodiment of weakness and cowardice.
Lie to yourself though
If that's how you get over it
I know we all holdin' our breathe
But how long you gon hold it
If deceiving yourself helps you cope with your inadequacies, then continue doing so. However, we are all patiently waiting for the moment your self-deception crumbles, questioning how long you can maintain the façade.
Don't act hard
Cause pussy's only get wet
And we've been waitin' the whole year
And you ain't been a man yet
Do not try to project an image of toughness, as it is evident that only weak-willed individuals boast and pretend. We have been observing you for a year, and you have yet to exhibit any qualities of true manhood.
And I know its hard to admit it
Cause the truth it hurts
That you ain't deploy with no balls
Only halter tops and skirts
Facing the reality is undoubtedly difficult because the truth is painful. It is clear that you lack courage and determination, symbolized by your preference for feminine clothing items like halter tops and skirts.
And your consciousness got to be killing you
And don't know how you handle it
Other than closing your eyes
And acting like it ain't happening
Your conscience must be tormenting you, and you probably have no idea how to confront it other than avoiding the truth, closing your eyes to reality, and pretending nothing is happening.
Maybe that's why
You judging everybody else
Cause you want em to feel
Exactly how you feel about yourself, pussy
Perhaps your inclination to judge and criticize others stems from your desire to make them experience the same level of self-doubt and insecurity that you harbor within yourself, revealing your own weakness.
You so quick to point the finger
But you don't look in the mirror
Cause you don't wanna understand
That word pussy any clearer
You readily blame others for their shortcomings, yet you fail to reflect on yourself. You intentionally avoid comprehending the true meaning of the word 'pussy,' as it hits too close to home.
And how could you pretend
To see anything else
When the only thing you've been about
Since day one here was yourself
How can you feign ignorance and claim to see beyond yourself, when your entire existence has revolved around selfishness and self-centeredness from the very beginning?
And as long as your breathin
It'll be more excuses
And a million more reasons why
Somebody else should do it
As long as you are alive, you will continue to create excuses and find countless reasons to shift responsibility onto others, avoiding taking action yourself.
And though you folded your hand
You act like you still playin'
But you always found wanting
Every time you are weighed in
Despite surrendering and giving up, you still pretend to be engaged and involved. However, every time you are assessed or evaluated, you are consistently found lacking or insufficient.
And it really don't bother me
Cause we'll carry your weight
We've done it from day one
What's 364 more days
Your actions and presence do not cause me distress or concern because we've always shouldered the burden of your inadequacies from the beginning. What's another 364 days?
And all I ask is one favor
And it ain't that much
Take a closer look at yourself
For you size anybody up
I only request one simple favor, which is not demanding too much. Take a sincere and introspective look at yourself before passing judgment on others.
Cause you ain't left no room at all
To open your mouth and talk
Remember we seen you out the gate
You won't even get out the truck
You have left no space for yourself to voice opinions or speak, as your initial actions and behavior were so underwhelming and disappointing that you didn't even step out of the metaphorical truck.
Your courage is more than underfire
Its never enough
Cause the closest you came to standin' out here
Was when you bitched up
Your bravery is severely lacking, and it is consistently inadequate. The closest you ever came to making an impression or standing out in this environment was when you displayed cowardice.
It's a whole lot a fuckers here
Probably too many
That's even worse than anybody talking shit
That's been a pussy
There are a significant number of individuals present, and unfortunately, many of them can be classified as contemptible and worthless, which is far worse than anyone simply engaging in negative speech.
And its hard for me to understand
Though I understand scared
But some of the purple hearts
And bronze stars awarded round here
Although I can empathize with fear, I find it difficult to comprehend how some individuals in this environment have been honored with prestigious military medals like the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
Now how the fuck did y'all get that
Cause you ain't do shit
Look I was there when marion went down
And you ain't get hit
How on earth did all of you manage to receive these honors when you didn't do anything deserving? I witnessed the incident involving Marion, and you didn't even sustain any injuries.
And if I recall you ain't bleed at all
He almost lost a limb
Now how the fuck do you deserve
The same purple heart as him
If my memory serves me right, you didn't bleed or suffer any injuries, while Marion nearly lost a limb. How can you possibly believe you deserve the same recognition and honor as him?
And when they presented you with it
You accepted it proudly
And if I ever see you wearing it
Oh its coming the fuck off don't doubt me
When they bestowed the medal upon you, you proudly accepted it. But if I ever witness you flaunting that medal, rest assured, I will forcibly remove it from you without hesitation.
And its more people than you
Runnin round here undeservant
So I apologize for all you fuckers
Awarded for lip service
There are plenty of others in this environment who are equally undeserving of the recognition and honor they have received. I extend my apologies to all those fuckers who were awarded based on mere lip service and empty actions.
Cause y'all ed never tell the truth
I'm here to keep you honest
That without your rank
These awards you wouldn't a gottem
You all will never willingly admit the truth, so it falls on me to ensure honesty prevails. Without the influence of your military rank, you would never have received these awards.
And you talk about integrity
But won't admit that its wrong
For you to accept something
When you have done absolutely nothing at all
You frequently discuss the importance of integrity, yet you refuse to acknowledge that it is fundamentally wrong for you to accept something you have not earned or achieved. In reality, you have contributed absolutely nothing.

Its directed at the soldiers that deploy and don't live by the Army values or any values for that matter when behind enemy lines. i.e. honor, loyalty, courage, and selfless service. It's to the guys that act hard and talk shit, but when faced with the reality of war, they freeze up. The ones that would sell out their buddies before they would save them. The ones that accept recognition and awards for "absolutely nothing at all."
