Ain't no daddies where I'm from it's just mad mothers
And eyes that still seem can't see past color
Why am I disrespected by someone I should call brother
And why girls feeling pretty and constantly hate eachother
Bad air in my lungs man I can't breathe
My eyes burnin from all the dirt and debris
And it's third degree emotionless on the scene
It's like a disease the way ya'll killin me
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 momma goin through it
I'm 16 on the block, I'm 16 on the block
I'm 16(at war) I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)
I'm 16(at war) I'm 16(at war)I'm 16 on the block I'm 16 on the block
Around here cool is another word for fool
If he smoke then she smoke I gotta smoke to
Now what would I do if I did not have a clue
I'm 16 why oh askin god oh why oh
If my clothes ain't tight the he ain't gon 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 be rewarded by bad
Actions to him I'm just a trends setter
I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this
I'm 16 and every young boy out here wanna kiss
I'm 16 and me and my momma goin through it
I'm 16 on the block, I'm 16 on the block
I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)
I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16 on the block I'm 16 on the block
I want you to know my mind my smile my style
I want you to know the best of me
I what to belong without being treated like property
Why does this feel like fantasy
I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this
I'm 16 and every young boy out here wanna kiss
I'm 16 and me and my momma goin through it
I'm 16 on the block, I'm 16 on the block
I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)
I'm 16(at war)I'm 16(at war)I'm 16 on the block I'm 16 on the block
I'm 16 (oooohhh yeahhhh yayyyyy...)
