Darwin Paz 16 Lyrics

[Verse: Darwin Paz]
I heard this beat and I ain't know what to write, first line should I thank all my bros or the Christ?
Nobody wants to work hard on their special day, but I share mine with America, I might as well relate
To this culture of liberation, even though I come from a foreign nation
Mom said it was just another vacation and all we needed was some money and our registration
But I been stuck in this place for ‘bout 8 years, so I guess this where I get rid of my fears, when I left I saw grandmama cry tears, I've had too many sorrows for only one beer
But nevertheless, I still wanna be the best, don't blame me for putting me first, writing this verse, my life reversed
So I guess it's about damn time I lift this rhyming curse, my spirit and soul I rehearse

[Chorus: Darwin Paz]
Can't believe how long it's been since the days
Where I was just a kid begging mom to let me go play
But now I'm 16 all of that's obsolete
I gotta hit the ground running tryna stay on my feet

[Verse: P-Nice]
I'm a student of the game of hip hop why don't you sue me? I'm out here pissing off the government like fela kuti. Like 3 stacks hip hop is just my Erykah Baduty
Rookie of the year they call me Nimble Nubie. This charisma and the flow alone can bring together nations. I hope that in my bars y'all can find some liberation
Cause In the world today there's plenty of tribulation. The music and the Most High be the best of medications
Favorite color purple like my name is mason. It's the peace i'm chasing. Shoes that I'm lacing, yeah we spitting bars out here in the Great Basin Shoutout to La Paz and his sweet sixteen, his hair looking more bushy than glycerin
And shoutout to Mr. Bailey dude who made the beat, P nice out that's the end of the scene

[Chorus: Darwin Paz]
Can't believe how long it's been since the days
Where I was just a kid begging mom to let me go play
But now I'm 16 all of that's obsolete
I gotta hit the ground running tryna stay on my feet

[Verse: Darwin Paz]
The way time moves is so dramatic, my pen jumps around the paper because my rhymes are acrobatic, don't get caught in the static
You gotta stay in motion, realizing what I've wasted always hinders my emotions guess that's just the notion
Of a miracle child, swear one day me and my pops gonna get things reconciled, I been thinking for a while, did he ever really care for me? Was my mom's pain blocking all his efforts see?
We just can't dwell on the past, we gotta focus on the present and making it last, cause the present is a gift, like the ones you get on Christmas
Thoughts of kneeling down on the altar and asking for forgiveness, why God gotta see everything? Man mind your business, when I get my first check mom and I are gonna split it, peace

[Chorus: Darwin Paz]
Can't believe how long it's been since the days
Where I was just a kid begging mom to let me go play
But now I'm 16 all of that's obsolete
I gotta hit the ground running tryna stay on my feet
