17 Lyrics by Yung Sum

17

2024

(Yung Sum)
There was a time when I was a kid
Moving around from city to town
Now I'm on my own
And I'm all grown (grown)
Yet, I'm not strong
But I'm right where you left me

I'm right where you left me
I'm right where you left me
Uh
Yo

But I was 17, sippin' on all your pain
17, trippin' on your mistakes
I know I could use some time away
Now I'm on the phone, screaming, "Why do you hate me?"

And you're all the same
17, trippin' on your mistakes
I know I could use some time away
Now I'm on the phone, screaming, "Fuck you, pay me!"

Uh
Yuh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Yeah

To my confession, I guard my heart with protection
Conceal it likе it's a weapon
I'm steppin' on all you foes
Got morе recs than a rectangle
Resurrecting my soul
And I'm boutta spit you the hardest
You probably can't even come close

I moved out my friend's basement
Straight to the pavement
Damn, I hate to say it
But I was deemed vacant in my head

I was wrong
Now I'm moving right along
And I'm boutta write a song
For the ones who don't fuck with me

Can you even do it like me?
Blood stain on my teeth
You said, you said I'm a freak
But I said, "Who's gonna pray for me?"

"When I'm feeling down"
And I'm feeling down right now (right now)
Might fuck around, but I don't wanna find out
I might leave town for the mess I made
Wash my hands from all the paths I've paved

But I was 17, sippin' on all your pain (pain)
17, trippin' on your mistakes
I know I could use some time away
Now I'm on the phone, screaming, "Why do you hate me?"

And you're all the same (same)
17, trippin' on your mistakes
I know I could use some time away
Now I'm on the phone, screaming, "Fuck you, pay me!"

Uh
Yuh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Yuh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, hm
Yuh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
