Ain't no daddys 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 but 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 should'nthave to feel like this

I'm 16 and every young boy out here wanna kiss me

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 than 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 tramp



I'm 16 and I should'nthave to feel like this

I'm 16 every young boy out here wanna kiss me

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 should'nthave to feel like this

I'm 16 every young boy out here wanna kiss me

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 woooooo oooohhhh)
