16 @ War (Album Version)

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 hate each other Bad air in my lungs Man I can't breathe My eyes burnin from all the dirt in the 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 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 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'm a 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 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 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 throught it 16 on the block 16 on the block 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 At War 16 on the block 16 on the block I'm 16
