Dm
Am
This is special,
Dm
Am
extremely special
E
Am
It's funny because it's
been on my mind lately
Having a dope beat, a dope idea
Dm
Sixteen bars ain't enough
How the fuck can I squeeze
Am
into a sixteen bar verse?
You know, so many different levels
Em
Am
To live in your life and depict it
With your wordplay
Exactly what life means to you
Dm
Sixteen ain't enough
Bb
I know y 'all gon' feel me on this one
Am
You gotta feel me on this one
It's funny how things change,
funny how time fly
More that my feet travel,
the more that I feel fly
More that I make now,
the more that the chicks smile
She call me a local nigga,
I open the Swiss account
Etta James on the desk
Movies John Coltrane,
Bb
Am
cruisin' in the Cadillac Seville,
feel my life on the real
We the last boys,
so this is a real premiere
Rollin' like Mick Jagger,
the women just gettin' battered
All I see is the money, cream, Eric Clapton
All I wanted was one,
sixteen ain't enough
Talkin' that fast money,
fifteen every month
Dm
When your people label four,
that motivated me more
Everything I ever wore
Bb
was once worn before
Am
Roll with the punches,
now it's box office numbers
Dressed like Sammy Davis,
steamin' my marijuana
Double MGs, double MPs
We in every hood, nigga,
government cheese
Yachts and Yachtmasters,
old dirty bastard
Floor seat for the heat,
paper that I'm stackin'
Dm
Better put away a penny
for the rainy days
Bb
Pick and roll, give and go,
fuck a fadeaway
Am
Livin' like Scottie Pippen,
drippin' rivers for dibble
Started off with a scribble,
Em
now I'm flowin' a river
Am
She say my heart cold,
I'm namin' my son December
Whitney died night before the Grammys,
damn, what a memory
Trumpet -tied when I started
with a ten -speed
Born broke,
had to use a nigga's instincts
Dm
Now I get a hundred racks
for the sixteen
Bb
Waking up the turkey, bacon,
and my thicc queen
I'm just watching on the big screen
Three stacks on the beat
Am
Em
Sixteen ain't enough
Am
You know how sometimes
you got so much to say but
Em
Sixteen ain't enough
Am
Dm
They only give you sixteen
Man it's like, I mean
Bb
Am
I got so much to say you know
The world has said like so much to me,
and I just want to give it right back to them,
you know
G
Am
Em
Am
When sixteen ain't enough, no
I only get sixteen, that's like a cage,
know
Em
When sixteen ain't enough, no
Am
I really can't say what I want to say
Dm
You know, it's just a glimpse, that's all,
just one, one little single glimpse
Bb
Am
Just a page
But I guess I'm not defeating the purpose
Of doing all this talking,
I Summer 88, or was it 89?
Or was it wintertime?
Ah, nevermind, I'm in my room
Boomin, drawin' LL Cool J album covers
With Crayolas on construction paper
Dm
I'm tryna fuck my neighbor,
I'm tryna hook my waves up
Bb
I'm tryna pull my grades up,
Am
to get them saddle lace -ups
Before Lamarck was Jacob,
before them girls wore makeup
Before my voice would break up,
before we'd tour them shake clubs
Before my momma wake up,
before my crumbs would cake up
Before they tell me they love me
and we'll never break up
But for the time,
she makes love to someone
that I thought was my homeboy
But boy, what's I wrong now?
Dm
I don't budge, don't want much
Just a roof and a Porsche
and a Porsche and a horse
an assortment of torches
That scorch is the skin
when they enter
Intruders whose tutors did a lousy job
How's he God if he lets loose?
If I let loose on us,
that noose on us won't loosen up
But loose enough to juice us up
Make us think we do so much and do it big
Like they don't let us win
I can't pretend, but I do admit
Dm
It feel good when nudes
Dm
Hence why every time we dine
Bb
we eat until our belly aches
Am
Then go grab the finest wine
and drink it like we know which grape
in which region it came from
As if we can name em,
hint hint it ain't em
Welch's, Helch's, Phil
3000 more degrees cooler
Y 'all can't measure my worth,
but when you try you'll need a ruler
Made by all the Greek gods, because
The odds have always
been stacked against me
when back's against the wall
Dm
I feel right at home y 'all,
sittin' right at home all
Kelly green with envy
Bb
while I'm jelly beans descending
Am
Into the palm of a child,
looks up at mama and smile with
such a devilish grin
like where the hell have you
been?
she's yelling selling's a sin well
so is telling young men
that selling is a sin
if you don't offer new ways to win a
dolphin gon' shake his fin
regardless if he gets in or out of water
most important thing for him
Dm
is to swim and flipper
then hold his nose
so why shall I hold my tongue?
I miss the days of old
Bb
Am
when one could hold his gal on his arm
and not set off these alarms
when cameras snap, snap, snaps return,
bop pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap
they'll learn why mere
privacy's so essential
they won't make no laws I break
They long till they see out our window
I take the fall to make them all
treat humankind more gentle
Forsake them all, I hate them all
Don't like them, don't pretend to
Dm
Yeah, something tells me we
ain't in Kansas anymore
Bb
All that shit that used to be cool
ain't cool anymore
Am
All them women we were pursuing,
now they want more
And they deserve it all,
don't settle for what ain't yours
When sixteen ain't enough
Dm
When sixteen ain't enough
Bb
Am
Lord, yeah, oh Lord, oh yeah
Em
Am
When sixteen ain't enough
When sixteen ain't enough
Dm
When sixteen ain't enough
Bb
Am
When six teen ain't enough
Em
Breakdown, breakdown
Am
Does your mama know you see me?
Dm
Does she know you're creepy?
Bdim
Does she ever wonder
E
if it's about your eyes speaking?
Am
Do you ever wonder where I'm at
when you get sleepy?
How the hell I'm gonna tell her
Dm
Bb
Am
you don't need me yet?
Does your daddy think you perfect?
Dm
Does he know for certain?
Bdim
Does he know how you act
E
when you pull back all them curtains?
Am
Do he think I'm too proud
cause I'm black and put them words in?
Does he know his daughter
might have caught a real merman?
Dm
Yeah
It's funny because,
Bb
because you're a changer
Am
But because we love ya,
we go that extra mile
Break it down for him Andre
Am
Huh
Next level
Dm
Bb
Am
Amazing
