DOM KENNEDY - 17 lyrics

Back when I was 17 back when I was 17
Back when I was 17 yeah
Check

Back when I was 17, I had a notion
That I would see the whole
World across the ocean
My dad be workin' hard but
He get no promotion
And he there every day, shit that's devotion
I never had a chance to be in the US open
I used to collect cans for them US tokens
It's that time of the month? girl
We use that lotion
Before the president was black
Shit I wasn't votin'
I used to believe a dollar
Bill was all I needed
Why you keep lookin' in the
Mirror if you not conceited?
Don't pack them Air Jordans
Boy you not gone need em
On Burnside with my niggas
And them tacos screamin'
If I told you what I saw
You would not believe it
If I showed you how I ball
You would not believe it
If I told you what I make
You would not believe it
Look how niggas did Ma$e, I cannot believe it

I had the Craig Mack tape
With that one single
Lotta niggas back then had one single
Tell her pop that ass trick
And I'mma drop some singles
And real niggas fuck with Jodeci
Not The Beatles lotta women in my phone
Cause I'm ridin' chrome
West Side till I'm gone, Ima die alone
Never runnin' out of strong
I might buy a zone
Have her comin' home blown
Smell like my cologne
Who you talkin' to nigga?
Better watch yo tone
She used to call me every day
'til you blocked my phone
I used to dream one day that
I would shop in Rome
That ain't the life for me nigga
The block is home
Now I'm back with my people
And I'm never leavin'
Don't do it for yo' self kid
It's better reasons
It get lonely at the top
And it's hella freezin'
I was here in '92 when it all fell to pieces

If I told you what I saw
You would not believe it
If I showed you how I ball
You would not believe it
If I told you what I make
You would not believe it
Shit we used to dub tapes
I cannot believe it

I cannot believe it i cannot believe it
I cannot believe it i cannot believe it

Latest news off the street the OPM
Boys made it to first
But the inside word is the
Odds have stacked against them
Be careful out there boys, real careful
