that I'm stacking [02:28.63]Better put away a penny for the rainy days [02:31.35]Pick and roll give and go f**k a fade away [02:33.50]Living like Scottie Pippen dribble riddles for vittles [02:36.46]Started off with a scribble now I'm flowing a river [02:38.89]She say my heart cold I'm naming my son December [02:41.32]Whitney died night before the Grammys d**n what a memory

sometimes you got so much to say but [03:07.11]When 16 ain't enough [03:09.04]They on they only give you 16 [03:14.37]Man it's like I mean I got so much to say you know [03:18.69]The world has said so much to me [03:20.66]And I just wanna give right back to 'em you know [03:23.05]When 16 ain't enough [03:25.04]But I only get 16 that's like a cage you know [03:29.06]When 16 ain't enough [03:30.95]I really can't say what I wanna say you know it's just a glimpse [03:34.42]That's all just one uh one little single glimpse [03:38.13]Just a page [03:41.19]But I guess I'm defeating the purpose of doing all this talking [03:45.75]Summer '88 or was it '89 [03:48.39]Or was it wintertime [03:49.92]Ah never mind [03:51.34]I'm in my room booming [03:52.78]Drawin' LL Cool J album covers with Crayolas on construction paper [03:56.66]I'm trying to f**k my neighbor I'm tryna hook my waves up [03:59.12]I'm tryna pull my grades up to get them saddle lace ups [04:02.13]Before lil' Marc was Jacob before them girls wore makeup [04:04.23]Before my voice would break up before we'd tour them shake clubs [04:07.33]Before my mama wake up before my crumbs would cake up [04:10.28]Before they tell me they love me and we'll never break up [04:12.89]Before the time she makes love to someone that I thought was my homeboy [04:16.15]But boy was I wrong now [04:17.91]I don't budge don't want much just a roof and a porch [04:20.80]And a Porsche and a horse and unfortunately [04:23.55]But of course an assortment of torches that scorches the skin when they enter [04:27.72]Intruders whose tutors did a lousy job [04:30.35]How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us [04:32.53]That noose on us won't loosen up but loose enough to juice us up [04:35.33]Make us think we do so much and do it big [04:37.50]Like they don't let us win I can't pretend [04:39.36]But I do admit it feel good when the hood pseudo celebrate [04:42.09]Hence why every time we dine we eat until our belly aches [04:45.09]Then go grab the finest wine and drink it [04:47.19]Like we know which grape and which region it came from [04:49.62]As if we can name 'em hint hint it ain't um Welch's [04:52.06]Hell just fell three thousand more degrees cooler [04:54.55]Y'all can't measure my worth [04:55.61]But when you try you'll need a ruler made by all the Greek gods [04:58.80]Because the odds have always been stacked against me when back's against the wall [05:02.83]I feel right at home y'all sitting right at home [05:05.38]All Kelly green with envy while I'm jelly beans descending [05:08.49]Into the palm of a child looks up at mama and smile [05:11.31]With such a devilish grin like where the hell have you been [05:13.96]She yelling selling is a sin Well so is telling young men [05:16.52]That selling is a sin if you don't offer new ways to win [05:19.15]A dolphin goon shake his fin regardless if he gets in [05:22.05]Or out of water most important thing for him is to swim [05:24.78]And Flipper didn't hold his nose so why shall I hold my tongue [05:27.74]I miss the days of old when one could hold his gal on his arm [05:30.92]And not set off these alarms when camera's snap snap snap snap [05:33.68]Return fire pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa [05:36.15]They'll learn why mere privacy so essential [05:37.83]They won't make no laws I break their laws 'til they see out our window [05:41.07]I take the fall to make them all treat human kind more gentle [05:43.90]Forsake them all I hate them all don't like em don't pretend to [05:46.73]Yeah something tells me we ain't in Kansas anymore [05:49.57]All that s**t that used to be cool ain't cool anymore [05:52.07]All the women we were pursuing now they want more [05:55.05]And they deserve it all don't settle for what ain't yours [05:57.81]When 16 ain't enough [06:02.92]When 16 ain't enough [06:19.72]When 16 ain't enough [06:25.00]When 16 ain't enough [06:30.69]When 16 ain't enough [06:36.14]When 16 ain't enough [06:42.01]Does your mama know you see me does she know you're freaky [06:44.57]Does she ever wonder if it's 'bout ya I am speaking [06:47.49]Do you ever ponder where I'm at when you get sleepy [06:50.40]How the hell I'm gonna tell the youth don't be me [06:52.96]Yea [07:03.70]Does your daddy think you perfect does he know for certain [07:06.51]Does he know how you act when you pull back all them curtains [07:09.72]Do he think I'm 2Pac cause I'm black and put the words in [07:12.30]Does he know his daughter might have caught a real merkman
