"16 @ War"
|
|
Ain't no daddy's where I'm from,
|
It's just mad mothers.
|
And eyes that still seem,
|
They can't look past color.
|
Why am I disrespected by
|
Someone I should call brother?
|
And why girls feel unpretty
|
And constantly hate each other?
|
|
Bad air in my lungs,
|
Man I can't breathe.
|
My eyes burnin' from all the dirt and the debris.
|
And it's third degree.
|
Emotionless on the scene.
|
It's like a disease
|
The way y'all killin' me.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this.
|
I'm 16, every young boy out here wanna kiss.
|
I'm 16, and me and my mama goin' through it.
|
16 on the block
|
16 on the block
|
|
16, At war [6x]
|
|
16 on the block
|
16 on the block
|
|
Around here cool is another word for fool
|
If he smoke then she smoke,
|
I gotta smoke too.
|
Now what would I do if I didn't have a clue?
|
I'm 16 Y.O.
|
Asking God oh Why, OH
|
If my clothes ain't tight,
|
Then he ain't gone like me.
|
Eyes on the prize,
|
So the next girl dress just like me.
|
I'm so full of promise,
|
But why promise if I'm gonna just be rewarded
|
By bad actions.
|
To him I'm just a transaction.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
I want you to love my mind,
|
My smile, my style
|
I want you to know the best of me
|
I want to belong without being treated
|
Like property
|
Why does this seem like a fantasy?
|
|
[CHORUS]
