JFK, Mac Miller - 17 lyrics

He was only seventeen (JFK, y'all)
H-h-h-h-h he was only seventeen
(yeah, Mac Miller)
He was he was in a madman's dream
He was only seventeen
(yeah, what an age that was
You know what I mean?)
(Yo) He was only seventeen (yeah
Check me out)
Seventeen, in a madman's dream (Uh, uh)

He was only seventeen, had a sweet sixteen
One year later
Realized these streets is mean
Focused on the street, talkin' them DT's
Waivin' down chicks in the summer
Wearin' them long sleeves
We lived amongst thieves
But they was stealin' whips
Hittin' the strip and gettin' chased by
The police was the shit
Baby girl lost her body, had two kids
Now we up in the crib
Throwin' a house party, and I'm sorry
All the pain that I caused and
All the shit that I done
And what'd I really do it for? Can't ignore
I was never at a palm in the limo
Silhouette of my face in
A plated-glass window
I guess I knew it all, y'all
Seventeen behind the wall
Canteen on freeze, but nobody to call
A product of my environment
I couldn't stay clean
It's just the crazy shit we do at seventeen
C'mon

He was only seventeen
(Ayo, JFK, that sound crazy, bro)
H-h-h-h-h he was only seventeen
(Let me tell you how it was
When I was seventeen though)
He was he was when I was seventeen
H-h-h-h-h he was only seventeen
(A little different
But) He was only seventeen
(Seventeen) Seventeen, in a madman's dream

Hey, when I was seventeen
That was just a year ago
Chillin' with the weirdest hoes
Sippin' on some beer
Had me spinnin' like a merry-go
But that's the way it was
The game's that we was playin'
Never changin' up
Just a youngin tryna holla at the older girls
Tryna take over here
But I ain't even know the world
Yeah, my rookie days
Hot from all the good we blaze
Run around the city on a pussy chase
Just a young gunna, hangin' with the OGs
The little homie who never kept it low-key
Now I get trophies and think about the old me
How I wanted diamond chains
And some gold teeth
Hit the deli after school to
Get some roast beef
Bullshittin' little asshole smokin' weed
Now I'm growin' up, so you know what's up
I love the feel of bein' older, but

When I was seventeen
H-h-h-h-h he was only seventeen
He was he was in a madman's dream
He was only seventeen
He was he was he was only seventeen
Seventeen, in a madman's dream

When I was seventeen
