18 Lyrics by Mario

Turning Point

2004

[Intro: Mario, Cassidy, & Sean Garrett]
Ayo, y'all ready man?
Yeah, I'm ready (Mario!)
Cassidy, 3rd Street, Full Surface
Ugh, haha
All I wanna do... is do me—feel me?
Owwwww!
C'mon!

[Hook: Mario]
Next time (Oh!) y'all niggas try and compare me (Haha)
Remember, I just turned eighteen (Eighteen)
That means I got seven years to catch up
So what's up? (So what's up?)
Next time (Next time) y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize, I just turned eighteen (Still young)
That means I got seven years to catch up (Bump this!)
So what's up?

[Verse 1: Mario]
I brush the dirt off my shoulder (Shoulder)
Push through the city in an all-pearl Rover
One day, I wanna be just like my nigga Hova
But they don't wanna let me be
Haters they been hating, saying what I can't be
But I'm a stay up on they bumper (Bumper)
Keeping they radios jumpin all summer
Having your girl screaming just to take a picture
I'm setting up my features
My bank account's reaching, and everybody's peeking

[Hook: Mario]
Next time (Yeah, oh!) y'all niggas try and compare me (Haha)
Remember, I just turned eighteen (Eighteen)
That means I got seven years to catch up
So what's up? (So what's up? Oh, yeah)
Next time (Oh) y'all underestimate me (Don't wanna do that, no)
Recognize, I just turned eighteen (Still young)
That means I got seven years to catch up (Hunh!)
So what's up?

[Verse 2: Mario]
This is a funny situation ('Uation)
These guys I grew up having crazy admiration for
Got the feeling that I'm trying to replace them
But that ain't the case
I'm in a whole 'nother place, tryna build my estate
I gotta keep my Nikes nice and clean
Keep the women up to 25 chasing me
Got Mr. Davis pushing buttons in the captain's seat
That means more dough [?] they seen before

[Hook: Mario]
Next time (Next time)
Y'all niggas try and compare me (Compare me)
Remember, I just turned eighteen (Eighteen)
That means I got seven years to catch up
So what's up? (So what's up?)
Haha, yeah
Next time (Next time haha)
Y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Y'all underestimate me, it's gon' be a problem
Recognize, I just turned eighteen (Still young)
The kid, Cassidy
That means I got seven years to catch up (Bump this!)
So what's up? (Ayo, Mario)

[Verse 3: Cassidy]
Don't let em get you heated, homie (Nah, nope)
Just only go harder
Let em underestimate you like you Antonio Tarver (Whoa, haha)
Plus the dudes that be hating is as old as your father (Uh-huh)
You got plenty time, you gone get plenty shine (Shine)
I don't pay 'em any mind
They been trying critcize
But you can't live your life through another nigga eyes (Real talk)
I'm the best and you young boys know, so
I'mma fall back and let my young boy blow, let's go

[Hook: Mario]
Next time (Oh!) y'all niggas try and compare me (Haha)
Remember, I just turned eighteen (Eighteen)
That means I got seven years to catch up
So what's up? (So what's up?)
Next time (Next time) y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize, I just turned eighteen (Still young)
That means I got seven years to catch up (Bump this!)
So what's up? (Try me!)
Next time (Oh!) y'all niggas try and compare me (You don't wanna go)
Remember, I just turned eighteen (There unless you know)
That means I got seven years to catch up (I'm catching up)
So what's up? (So what's up?)
Next time (Next time) y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize, I just turned eighteen (Still young)
That means I got seven years to catch up
So what's up?

[Outro: Mario & Cassidy]
Yeah! I told y'all, don't underestimate a young boy
Yeah! Haha, ya heard me?
My man, Mario, coming next, ha!
Next time y'all wanna compare me to somebody... else
Hahaha
Hey, man, let's get out of here, man
Whoa!
They already know what to expect
We're not done! One!
