Seventeen Lyrics by Corey Paul

Untold Story: Trill Young King

2017

[Verse 1]
Mama raised me on Southpark
One of the few that done made it out
I'm not impressed with the slick talk
I really lived what these rapper writing bout'
No embellishment, youngin' talking for a settlement
Quite intelligent, but we'll go dumb and let that metal bent
Medicine, mixing with the soda, got em' high as Yoda
Jedi focus for a check, Obi-Wan Kanobi
Nobody shoulder stroking, condolence, we just had to get it
And maybe, I'll try to do better if I knew the difference
I grew up with my cousin water whipping in the kitchen
Azo and daddy bought a pack, [?] Whitney
That change your vision a little when you set your mission
They call it thugging and ghetto, but hey, that's how we living
They spitting on our block, and they call it rain
Since my patna' ate his pistol I ain't been the same
[Hook]
I lost my daddy to the dopeman
I got pain, I got pain I'm still dealing with
Almost lost my brother to the street
I got pain, I got pain I'm still dealing with
Lord save me, I was seventeen
I got pain, I got pain I'm still dealing with
Know you going through, I'ma pray for you
But, I be going through it too, hope you pray for me
[Verse 2]
Thought that I was far away from God, he forgot about me
If he got me living how I'm living, how he care about me?
Granny taught me, "Betta bust some [?] off my weight"
Brought my problems to the church, my lil' patna' bought a K
Had my faith in a Ruger, then I put it in the Lord
My partner riding dirty God, please protect the squad
When times get hard, all I ever knew was hustle
Now, times get hard, all I got to do is trust you
And I do, all that I been through, ain't no way I lose
92', Q up on the roof, I done got the Juice
Truth, I done lost my daddy to the noose when I was 9
But, God heal pain, it just take a little time
[Hook]
I lost my daddy to the dopeman
I got pain, I got pain I'm still dealing with
Almost lost my brother to the street
I got pain, I got pain I'm still dealing with
Lord save me, I was seventeen
I got pain, I got pain I'm still dealing with
Know you going through, I'ma pray for you
But, I be going through it too, hope you pray for me
[Outro]
So many people
Suicide, genocide, pick a side
Any side
Any side do just fine
We must fight til' he say time
