Seventeen - Dave East

I been buying shit that I ain’t never need

Them beats coming in and out another station

A Mayweather nigga that could never read

Circuit seen the paperwork, so how you on probation?

(How?)

I’ve been living with a curse, I ran out of patience

Jungle got me out the dirt, living life for what it’s worth

Nights sleeping in my shirt thinking I won’t make it

Now I got your favorite actress in here gettin' naked

Pardon my back, 600 on land, like a shark it’s all black

Don’t talk 'bout my trap

Moment of silence, don’t talk 'bout no violence

My phone might be tapped

I don’t condone or know rats

I done showed love when they hated on me (They hated)

Amiri’s fit different, got some paper on me (You see it)

I’m smoking out the pack, leaks’ll fade embalmed

Chef up in the kitchen, got my apron on

Hatin' ain’t gon' help you make it, homie

Take it to the grave, couple things I done seen, people changing on me

(Changing on me)

The love change when you find out that ain’t your homie (Changed)

The drug game not about to make you famous, homie (No)

I was putting in work when you was sleepin' (Work)

You was gettin' full, I wasn’t eatin'

These niggas come around for no reason

The same place we found 'em, we can leave 'em

These shoes don’t come out 'til next season

These jewels like I got 'em out the freezer (Cold)

She rude, she don’t really have a reason (No)

I move like I’m tryna get a visa

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen (You know them young days, you)

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen (Tryna figure out where the party at)

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen (First time hittin' a blunt,

shit like that)

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen (I caught one motherfucker)

You couldn’t tell me shit when I was seventeen (Nah)

Teachers told me I would never graduate

Cuzzo touching money I had never seen

He told me, put me put my paper and never give my last away

I got up out the hood, some niggas never leave

Remember Friday night, prayin' I wake up on Saturday

Loiter in buildings, no, I’d rather spoil my children

Can’t be one of them dads that went that way

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen

Dirty lil' nigga, room was never clean (Right)

I had the cornrows like Bubba Chuck (AI)

Tryna make it to the league on whoever team (Whoever)

Them nightmares started comin' I could never dream

Demons talking to me, God, please intervene

I used to wear my new Jordans 'til the sole was ripped

Girls used to look at me like I was never clean (Dirty lil' nigga)

Moving forward, I ain’t bringing up no old shit (Nah)

I got a rental, we could go and take this road trip (We out)

Like a pill, I just want to get in motion

The D’s man to man, so we gotta run a motion

Thinkin' back to when I was only seventeen, if I said I’m gon' be rich,

you’d have thought that I was joking

My hooride was a Grande Cherokee, free crib with the key, go outside if you

smoking (Woah)

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen (I'm talkin' when a nigga used to get)

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen (Get kicked out the crib and shit,

every other week)

(You know what I’m saying, your first time tryna squeeze some titties,

get some ass or somethin' like that)

Young days, nigga

Thinkin' back when I was only seventeen
