John Stephenson - Sixteen Lyrics

16


Since sixteen I been movin sixteens
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team
Age of 1 3 was familiar with heat
Addicted to the streets rhyming over beats
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team

Verse 1
At the age of five
I rocked my first fives
Retro Jay's
Thank allah I seen another day
93 made my first beat
Around the Time I saw my first
First key
I was sixteenI learned that trait
Slang everything including the shake
Posted where the stove be
Whipping up some oz
Strapped up
No back pack
But I pack that
Black Mack
In a hatch back
Seen fien overdose from the crack jack
That beam Blow a nigga cap back
Only 13 and I had to go and stomach that
16 blast lean Em back
That's the first time I saw a dead body
They say
Heat shottem
Taught not to snitch so I say the lead gottem
Shed some tears
Then couple of years
Passed bye it was clear
Watching over my shoulder every step
I was clutching on my toaster till my last breath
Heart got a little bit colder
Immune to death
Tell these pussies move over and let me rep

Chorus

Since sixteen I been movin sixteens
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team
Age of 1 3 was familiar with heat
Addicted to the streets rhyming over beats
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team

Verse 2

96 I heard track
2 dope boys in a cadalliac
By big boy and three stacks
They formed group called outkast
My big cus put me on the that
D boys put me in in the trap
Big bro turned me on to rap
in and out of cyhpers trying to increase my stats
Skill with the pen n pad
I I'll when I'm sealing a bag
Give it all up a nigga had
Posted on the slab with a brand new mag
No scale no beam sipping on promethazine
I started Baking donuts no crispy cream
Addicted to the dope scene
I was only 14
Mobbing thru city with the whole team
Skinny nigga used to move a lot of weight
Semi grippa don't make me put you in crate
Come from a hood like a chop shop or rock spot where they cop glocks hot
Late nite niggas make locks pop like they been timed with a stop watch
Gotta Crack the safe
Money on my
All the time
Paper chasing
on my grind
Hustlers ambitions
Since I was 9
Now I m apply it to my rhymes

Chorus

Since sixteen I been movin sixteens
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team
Age of 1 3 was familiar with heat
Addicted to the streets rhyming over beats
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team

Verse 3

My father taught me how the lay it down and mix a track
The hood taught me how the double up and and bring it back
First job I was only 8 matter fact
After school slang in papers by the stacks
When you was playing tag
I was trying the get the cash
From a weed bag
That we had they need that
So pass like Steve Nash
Shoot like t mac
Dribble by like AI everybody watching this guy
He was breaking ankles I was breaking necks they
Getting whip lash trying see what I m doing next
Money money
Money money money
I want is money
By any means I had to get that money
Fold it flip it stack it
Cook it weight wrap it
Hit the ave and move that package
My line like rush hour traffic
I grind Just like a savage
My minds above the average
Keep eying the carrots
My nine ill make you parish

Chorus

Since sixteen I been movin sixteens
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team
Age of 1 3 was familiar with heat
Addicted to the streets rhyming over beats
I hold it down for my team
They know I'm Down for my team
I hold it down for my team
