13 Going On 30

[Intro]
I was thirteen goin' on thirty
Fourteen goin' on forty (ZEL, this shit crazy)
Fifteen, please God, fix me
Pickney, (Uh), sixteen, goin' on shifty (Uh-huh)
Young yute went to the brothel
He was shock still 'cah they showed him the bop deal (That's pricey)
He won't take a bad one tinsel just to go town on the back of her tonsils (Hehe)
They teach us dogs eat dogs, so black men can't see the brothers and not kill (Uh-rruh)
Then you got man scammin' on 'net sayin', "Boys, if your gun don't rise then your stock will" (You neek)

[Verse 1]
I was young when I learnt you can cop pills and shot to people that really wan' pop pills (Pop that)
Don't get caught with a rock deal, this ain't no block film, there ain't no cop deals (No storiеs)
Bring your hot life to a standstill, if a man kills, it'll be brought to a stop-still (Grrt)
Ain't no mountains on Mohills, in the ghеtto, make a fat tree from fox hills
Would make disciples from my apostles, but I can't take their preachin' for gospel (Can keep that)
Ask for a small favour, but when the time comes, ah, Cris', I forgot, still (Fuck you then)
Mum worked hard for a yard, that's my darg, spend nights in a hostile (That's my darg)
Gotta protect my marje, Oh my Lord, need to make P's from my pop shies
Fed men-fed men lurkin' in Brix', drop that kitch', ain't nowhere to dip (Shit)
Huh, trigger finger's itchin', but you drop the wap, it can't scratch that itch (Can't scratch that)
Life goes on, it's sick
Ain't no O when a man moves slick (No slick)
Soon take risks and prosper, check the roster, you ain't take no risks (You ain't done that)
Rest in peace, TI, bro turned that Q to a half to a brick
From primary school, that yute ain't switched
Bro taught me man that wan' snitch get stitch (Bro taught me)
Them man been my dargs from kids, my friends won't be in my vids or flip
Gotta hide my video shoots from CIDs
I ain't into this lockdown shit, I'm pissed

[Pre-Chorus]
Started secondary school, mum said, "Learn your book, don't turn to no bad girl" (Behave, Cris')
Started to turn 'bout life, became a mad girl, come just like this mad world (My days, man)
Teach' said I got so much potential, "Cristale, you don't know how much you have, girl"
Distraction to
Others in class, eggs up on fast, can't lie, I was that girl

[Chorus]
Young black girl, 3C, hair curly (Curly)
Sipped dirty rum punch from early (Unruly)
I can see clear then life got blurry
Kinda half blind, but my sight's still certi' (Still certi')
Lord, please give me strength if I'm worthy (If I'm worthy)
I know my weak point's part of the journey (My journey)
I'm twenty goin' on two hundred 'cause I was thirteen goin' on thirty
Young black girl, 3C, hair curly (Curly)
Sipped dirty rum punch from early (Unruly)
I can see clear then life got blurry
Kinda half blind, but my sight's still certi' (Still certi')
Lord, please give me strength if I'm worthy (If I'm worthy)
I know my weak point's part of the journey (My journey)
I'm twenty goin' on two hundred 'cause I was thirteen goin' on thirty

[Verse 2]
They told me I've been here before 'cah my soul come old like stone on a henge dem (Oldie)
Brodem come like my henchmen, still can't put no trust in my friend dem (My brodie)
Label wan' buy me for sentence, buy all my sentence, sign the addendum
Said, "If we're gonna make P's then send them"
Bad people, I don't care to offend them (Take offence then)
Still need love and affection, but I question is this my dimension? (My ends dem?)
Need to get tested for match syndrome 'cah I'm on the lit end of the spectrum
Teachers put me in detention like, "Cristale, now you've got all my attention"
Sent me home before lunch for fightin' two boys, I firmed that suspension (Huh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Started secondary school, mum said, "Learn your book, don't turn to no bad girl" (Behave, Cris')
Started to turn 'bout life, became a mad girl, come just like this mad world (My days, man)
Teach' said I got so much potential, "Cristale, you don't know how much you have, girl"
Distraction to
Others in class, eggs up on fast, can't lie, I was that girl

[Chorus]
Young black girl, 3C, hair curly (Curly)
Sipped dirty rum punch from early (Unruly)
I can see clear then life got blurry
Kinda half blind, but my sight's still certi' (Still certi')
Lord, please give me strength if I'm worthy (If I'm worthy)
I know my weak point's part of the journey (My journey)
I'm twenty goin' on two hundred 'cause I was thirteen goin' on thirty
Young black girl, 3C, hair curly (Curly)
Sipped dirty rum punch from early (Unruly)
I can see clear then life got blurry
Kinda half blind, but my sight's still certi' (Still certi')
Lord, please give me strength if I'm worthy (If I'm worthy)
I know my weak point's part of the journey (My journey)
I'm twenty goin' on two hundred 'cause I was thirteen goin' on thirty

[Outro]
Thirty goin' on thirty, thirty goin' on thirty
Thank God for strength if I'm worthy, please bare me and show me some mercy
I'm twenty goin' on two hundred 'cause I was thirteen goin' on thirty
