Lyrics
Dun dun dun, oh
Dun dun, oh
Dun dun, doo day
Ooh, yeah
Five foot seven with light green eyes
Body built like a woman over 25
Plus she pushed the whip that the average woman couldn't get
'Less she worked about two nine-to-fives
Girly played the game just a little too mature
She damn near had everything I was looking for
But things seemed shady when I asked my lady
To meet me at the club, she had trouble at the door
That's when I found out that
(Ohh) She was only 17 years old
And I couldn't see her no more (Ohh)
I ain't tryna see myself locked up
For knocking up some young jawn (Ohh)
How could I explain the situation
To my family and all of my boys? (Ohh)
Sorry shorty, but you gotta get gone, yeah
I tried to cut her off, but she wasn't having it
She kept telling me her age didn't mean sh
And that's when she started to cry
"Baby, I need you in my life
And without you, I just couldn't handle it"
So what's a brotha to do? (Cuz)
Either way, I lose (So)
I could just say my peace or piss off her peeps
And talk it out with the boys in blue
'Cause when it comes down to it
(Ohh) She was just 17 years old
And I was dead wrong from the door (Ohh)
I ain't tryna see myself locked up
For knocking up some young jawn (Ohh)
How could I explain the situation
To my family and all of my boys? (Ohh)
Sorry shorty, but you gotta get gone, yeah
Yeah yeah
Doo doo, doo
Oh yeah
