Seventeen lyrics
by Gabriel Garzón-Montano
[Verse 1]
I'm on the edge of seventeen
Dollar and a dream in my pocket
Life ain't how it seem no more, no more, uh
Acting like I'm grown, ah
Still a young soul though
Hopping out the 4-door
Keys in my hand, got a Rolo
24s, sitting real low-low
[Hook]
You seventeen, ain't ya?
So why you acting childish as f*ck?
You a goldfish in the ocean
Fell into the sand, got stuck, b*tch
[Verse 2]
I could rap around a whole planet, though (planet)
Flows sick, I need to find an antidote (antidote)
Never choke, never crack, not a diamond (not a diamond)
It's been hard growing up, least I'm trying (least I'm trying)
Taking classes, I'm learning 'bout the masses of atoms
And all of this random sh*t (yeah)
Remember when she grabbed my sh*t (uh huh)
Lost my way back then
I just needed a friend, someone to talk to
My rope reached its end, was finna fall through
But I made it out the belly of the beast, I'm alive
I'm alright, homie take a look at me, sheesh
[Hook]
You seventeen, ain't ya?
So why you acting childish as f*ck?
You a lil' house in a hurricane
And like an empty pot, you out of luck
[Verse 3]
My wholesome year ain't go the way I want it to
I tried to move to Honolu
Lou in the cut, I promise you, I got it boo
I'm out here, Cali in a drought here
Too much of fake clout here, don't come 'round here
Zoning out of class to talk to my baby
I been thinking 'bout her lately
X's and O's, do they matter in the long run?
I'm just blessed that I had someone
[Bridge]
Seventeen, ooh
Blessed I made another year
Praise God that got me here
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen, aye
Seventeen, ooh
Dollar and a dream in my pocket
Life ain't how it feel no more, uh, yeah
[Outro]
You seventeen, right?
So why you acting like a kiddie do?
Taking out some loans, signing scholarships
But you still down in the kiddie pool
