16 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Only sixteen when you moved to the city
Had no degree, had to get straight to the dishes
No faith or religion, no family, really
You had your kids and
You always were tryna teach us a lesson
You've been right through it
When you said you love me
Girl, I know you meant it
[Chorus]
Everything's special with you, shawty
Let me take the stress all off of you
'Cause you deserve it with everything you do
Fuck it, take a shot
I got my best all on for you
Huh-huh
[Post-Chorus]
Wish to the stars, they put a wall up
Locking the door with no one to call up
So she kicked it in like Loretta Lynn
Kinda big for a working girl's daughter
[Verse 2]
You'vе been hangin' on too long
If you're in pain or sum
Why don't you say something?
Remеmber how you sacrificed?
Like you ain't need no one
I really see it, darlin'
[Chorus]
Everything's special with you, shawty
Let me take the stress all off of you
'Cause you deserve it with everything you do
Fuck it, take a shot
I got my best all on for you
Huh-huh
[Post-Chorus]
Wish to the stars, they put a wall up
Locking the door with no one to call up
So she kicked it in like Loretta Lynn
Kinda big for a working girl's daughter
Wish to the stars, they put a wall up
Locking the door with no one to call up
So she kicked it in like Loretta Lynn
Kinda big for a working girl's daughter

What did BAYLI say about "16"?
“Yeah ‘16’ is actually a super special one. Long story short, it tells the story of my mom, who my family and I recently lost unexpectedly. In the 90s, my mom immigrated to New York from London, and the song takes you through what she saw over the years in her travels. The song is basically a fast-f...
What made BAYLI include this track on her debut EP?
I actually wrote 16 a long time ago. I think if any song helped bring together my experiences in New York it might be this one. My good friend and collaborator, Brody Myles, produced this song with me and I felt like it was important to provide some contrast to some of the more fast-paced tracks I h...
