Ward, Zhavia - 17 Lyrics






I grew up in Norwalk
Hanging by the donut shop
Didn't have a car
So we used to have to walk the block
I was only six years old, I was running
Cold bare feet when storm started coming

Momma worked two jobs
Couldn't keep the fridge stocked
Used to eat popcorn for dinner with the soda pop
Moved out one too many times, couldn't count it
Always keep it real, don't doubt it

Young girl you better go fast
This world ain't gonna hold back
You know you gotta own your life

And I saw it in my dreams
I knew I'd be seventeen
Watching reality spinning around
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew life would change for me
This is reality
Look at me now

Had to let the house go
Didn't let me say no
Momma had to quit a job
Just so I could make the show
Thought it was a big break, still no breaking
Gave me 7 G's and a deal, didn't take it
Days in a motel, nights in the studio
Spending every penny praying God don't let us go broke
Fashion Nova got us in a house, LA living
Got my own bed now, it's been a minute

Young girl you better go fast
This world ain't gonna hold back
You know you gotta own your life

And I saw it in my dreams
I knew I'd be seventeen
Watching reality spinning around
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew life would change for me
This is reality
Look at me now
(Look at me now)

I used to dream
(Used to dream)
I used to dream about it
I knew that I would make it out
Ain't what it seems
That's why I never doubt it
I know I'm gonna make it out

And I saw it in my dreams
I knew I'd be seventeen
Watching reality spinning around
And I saw it in my dreams
I knew life would change for me
This is reality
Look at me now

    I'm older than her and still don't have a tattoo..

  26. A.... ....

    Czy można być jeszcze bardziej atencyjnym ? [ENG] Can it be something better than this ?

  27. D.... A....

    She sings like a junkie and looks like a junkie with pot hair and all......
    Hopefully a nice girl, and she deserves to be successful, but a pity she has to portray junky type image and persona to sell music and gain popularity amongst the youngsters these days....
    Frankly, Her talent and unique voice deserves a better audience.
    But she’s young.... and we all hope she doesn’t go/continue down the mile high route as friends like this will ultimately set her up with a meeting with Amy Winehouse.....
    So I hope there are some ethical, and strict managers out there?!.....

  28. C.... M....
