[Intro]

Yea yea, yea yea
My nana said you're sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now I'm seventeen going on seventy
Yea

[Verse]

Damn, I need to take a breather
Didn't know know who I was after my nana's seizures
Night after night day after day praying for sanity and-
Day after day throwing quarters without a well
My homie just went to jail
This pain in my chest let me, drink some more
This pain in my lungs let me, smoke some more
This hope seeming less I can't take no more

Yea
I didn't hide everything because I wanted to
Swear I hid everything because I love you
Trust mailed without address true misfortune
So when you find out all I hear is judgement
Perception is everything don't ever be fooled
They judge you on a resume not character fool
I wish my father told me that then maybe we would be cool
Our relationship's like a water slide I drown in his pool
Yea

[Chorus]

I'm sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now
I'm seventeen going on seventy look in my frog eyes what you say don't mean shit to me
My nana said your sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now
Im seventeen going on seventy
Look in my frog eyes what you say don't mean shit to me

[Verse 2]

All my accomplishments no credit but you quick to bill me
Outkast me with the quickness but miss Jackson love me
Telling me follow my dreams then laugh at my struggle
I'd rather dig for my diamonds then inherit them from you
Everything I ever knew, was first hand minus assistance
Everything you do, second hand with a checklist
Never had a hand out swear I was gripping with my elbows
Couldn't tie my shoe so I went and copped some velcro
Couldn't zip my jacket catching trills like Katrina
For some bills and some red they'll betray you call you Jesus
3AM walks, cellphone, dirty Adidas running from my tears like I swerved and never seen 'em
No

[Chorus]

I'm sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now
I'm seventeen going on seventy look in my frog eyes what you say don't mean shit to me
My nana said your sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now
Im seventeen going on seventy
Look in my frog eyes what you say don't mean shit to me

[Bridge]

Seeking for direction like a compass can't composite my thoughts
Everything done through emotion so I'm hard to love
Trusting to a fault but not trustworthy at all
If all my exes took the stand they would tell you no charge

Everything I do I do for you
Everything I said are regrets to me
Everything you do you touched to gold
I wish I could say the same for me
Yea

[Chorus]

I'm sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now
I'm seventeen going on seventy look in my frog eyes what you say don't mean shit to me
My nana said your sixteen gone on seventeen but as of right now
I'm seventeen going on seventy
Look in my frog eyes what you say don't mean shit to me

[Outro]

Yea Yea
