[VERSE 1:] 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 feel unpretty and constantly hate each other Bad air in my lungs, man I can't breathe My eyes burnin from all the dirt and the debris And it's third degree, I'm motionless on the scene It's like a disease the way ya'll killin' me
[HOOK:] I'm sixteen and I shouldn't have to feel like this I'm sixteen every young boy out here want to kiss me I'm sixteen and me and my mama going through it I'm sixteen on the block, sixteen on the block
[Chorus:] 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 sixteen on the block, sixteen on the block
[VERSE 2:] 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 sixteen y.o., asking God oh why oh If my clothes ain't tight, then 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 a just be rewarded by bad actions To him I'm just a transaction
[HOOK:] I'm sixteen and I shouldn't have to feel like this I'm sixteen every young boy out here want to kiss I'm sixteen and me and my mama going through it I'm sixteen on the block, sixteen on the block
[Chorus:] 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 sixteen on the block, sixteen on the block
[BRIDGE:] 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 it seem like fantasy?
[HOOK:] I'm sixteen and I shouldn't have to feel like this I'm sixteen every young boy out here want to kiss I'm sixteen and me and my mama going through it I'm sixteen on the block, sixteen on the block
[Chorus:] 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 sixteen on the block, sixteen on the block
