Ain't no Daddy's 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 pretty and constantly hate each other
Bad air in my lungs Man I can't breathe
My eyes burning from all the dirt in the debris
And it's 3rd degree emotionless on the scene
It's like a disease the way Ya'll killing me

I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this
I'm 16 every Young boy out here wanna kiss me
I'm 16 and me and my momma going through it
16 on the Block 16 on the Block
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 16 on the Block 16 on the Block

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 16 yo 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 promises but why promise if I'm just be rewarded by bad actions
To him I'm just a transaction

I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this
16 every Young boy out here wanna kiss
16 and me and my momma going through it
16 on the Block 16 on the Block
I'm 16 ( at war) 16(at war) 16(at war) 16(at war) I'm 16(at war) I'm 16 (at war)
16 on the Block 16 on the Block

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 this feel like this

I'm 16 and I shouldn't have to feel like this
16 every Young boy out here wanna kiss
16 and me and my momma going through it
16 on the Block 16 on the Block
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 16
16 on the Block 16 on the Block
I'm 16 (oooohhh yeahhhh yayyyyy)
