Текст песни 16 @ War - Karina

Ain't no daddies 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 feelin' pretty and constantly hating each other?

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 y'all 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 mama goin' through it
16 on the block
16 on the block

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
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 why, oh, 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'ma just be rewarded by bad actions?
To him, I'm just a transaction

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

I'm 16 at war
16, at war
16, at war
16, at war (oh, oh)
16, at war
16, at war
16, on the block
16, on the block

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 fantasy?

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

I'm 16, at war, 16, at war
16, at war, 16, at war
I'm 16, at war, 16, at war
16, on the block
16, on the block

I'm 16
