André 3000:[00:00:04]
When 16 ain't enough[00:00:48]
Rick Ross:[00:00:50]
It's funny because it's been on my mind lately[00:00:50]
Having a d**e beat d**e idea[00:00:55]
Sixteen bars ain't enough[00:00:58]
How the f**k can I squeeze my whole life into a 16 bar verse[00:01:01]
You know so many different levels to living your life[00:01:07]
Depicting with your wordplay exactly what life means to you[00:01:13]
Sixteen ain't enough[00:01:20]
I know y'all gonna feel me on this one[00:01:24]
You gotta feel me on this one[00:01:28]
It's funny how things change funny how time fly[00:01:32]
More than my feet travel the more that I feel fly[00:01:35]
More that I make now the more that the chicks smile[00:01:38]
She call me a local ni**a I opened a Swiss account[00:01:40]
Eisenhower status Etta James on the dash[00:01:43]
Smooth as John Coltrane cruising in the Cadillac[00:01:46]
Seville feel my life on the real[00:01:49]
We the Last Poets so this is a world premiere[00:01:52]
Rolling like Mick Jagger the women just getting badder[00:01:54]
All I see is the money cream Eric Clapton[00:01:57]
And all I wanted was one 16 ain't enough[00:02:00]
Talking that fast money 15 every month[00:02:03]
When your people labelled poor that motivated me more[00:02:05]
Everything I ever wore was once worn before[00:02:08]
Roll with the punches now it's box office numbers[00:02:11]
Dressed like Sammy Davis steaming my marijuana[00:02:14]
Double MG's double M fees[00:02:17]
We in every hood ni**a government cheese[00:02:20]
Yacht to Yacht masters Old Dirty Bastard[00:02:22]
Floor seat for the heat paper that I'm stacking[00:02:25]
Better put away a penny for the rainy days[00:02:28]
Pick and roll give and go f**k a fade away[00:02:31]
Living like Scottie Pippen dribble riddles for vittles[00:02:33]
Started off with a scribble now I'm flowing a river[00:02:36]
She say my heart cold I'm naming my son December[00:02:38]
Whitney died night before the Grammys damn what a memory[00:02:41]
Trump Tower and I started with a 10 speed[00:02:45]
Born broke had to use a ni**a's instincts[00:02:48]
Now I get a hundred racks for the 16[00:02:50]
Waking up to turkey bacon and my thick queen[00:02:53]
*s hating I'm just watching on the big screen[00:02:56]
3 Stacks on the beat and the kicks mean[00:02:58]
André 3000:[00:03:01]
When 16 ain't enough[00:03:02]
You know how sometimes you got so much to say but[00:03:04]
When 16 ain't enough[00:03:07]
They on they only give you 16[00:03:09]
Man it's like I mean I got so much to say you know[00:03:14]
The world has said so much to me[00:03:18]
And I just wanna give right back to 'em you know[00:03:20]
When 16 ain't enough[00:03:23]
But I only get 16 that's like a cage you know[00:03:25]
When 16 ain't enough[00:03:29]
I really can't say what I wanna say you know it's just a glimpse[00:03:30]
That's all just one uh one little single glimpse[00:03:34]
Just a page[00:03:38]
But I guess I'm defeating the purpose of doing all this talking[00:03:41]
Summer '88 or was it '89[00:03:45]
Or was it wintertime[00:03:48]
Ah never mind[00:03:49]
I'm in my room booming[00:03:51]
Drawin' LL Cool J album covers with Crayolas on construction paper[00:03:52]
I'm trying to f**k my neighbor I'm tryna hook my waves up[00:03:56]
I'm tryna pull my grades up to get them saddle lace ups[00:03:59]
Before lil' Marc was Jacob before them girls wore makeup[00:04:02]
Before my voice would break up before we'd tour them shake clubs[00:04:04]
Before my mama wake up before my crumbs would cake up[00:04:07]
Before they tell me they love me and we'll never break up[00:04:10]
Before the time she makes love to someone that I thought was my homeboy[00:04:12]
But boy was I wrong now[00:04:16]
I don't budge don't want much just a roof and a porch[00:04:17]
And a Porsche and a horse and unfortunately[00:04:20]
But of course an assortment of torches that scorches the skin when they enter[00:04:23]
Intruders whose tutors did a lousy job[00:04:27]
How's he God if he lets Lucifer let loose on us[00:04:30]
That noose on us won't loosen up but loose enough to juice us up[00:04:32]
Make us think we do so much and do it big[00:04:35]
Like they don't let us win I can't pretend[00:04:37]
But I do admit it feel good when the hood pseudo celebrate[00:04:39]
Hence why every time we dine we eat until our belly aches[00:04:42]
Then go grab the finest wine and drink it[00:04:45]
Like we know which grape and which region it came from[00:04:47]
As if we can name 'em hint hint it ain't um Welch's[00:04:49]
Hell just fell three thousand more degrees cooler[00:04:52]
Y'all can't measure my worth[00:04:54]
But when you try you'll need a ruler made by all the Greek gods[00:04:55]
Because the odds have always been stacked against me when back's against the wall[00:04:58]
I feel right at home y'all sitting right at home[00:05:02]
All Kelly green with envy while I'm jelly beans descending[00:05:05]
Into the palm of a child looks up at mama and smile[00:05:08]
With such a devilish grin like where the hell have you been[00:05:11]
She yelling selling is a sin Well so is telling young men[00:05:13]
That selling is a sin if you don't offer new ways to win[00:05:16]
A dolphin goon shake his fin regardless if he gets in[00:05:19]
Or out of water most important thing for him is to swim[00:05:22]
And Flipper didn't hold his nose so why shall I hold my tongue[00:05:24]
I miss the days of old when one could hold his gal on his arm[00:05:27]
And not set off these alarms when camera's snap snap snap snap[00:05:30]
Return fire pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa[00:05:33]
They'll learn why mere privacy so essential[00:05:36]
They won't make no laws I break their laws 'til they see out our window[00:05:37]
I take the fall to make them all treat human kind more gentle[00:05:41]
Forsake them all I hate them all don't like em don't pretend to[00:05:43]
Yeah something tells me we ain't in Kansas anymore[00:05:46]
All that sh*t that used to be cool ain't cool anymore[00:05:49]
All the women we were pursuing now they want more[00:05:52]
And they deserve it all don't settle for what ain't yours[00:05:55]
When 16 ain't enough[00:05:57]
When 16 ain't enough[00:06:02]
When 16 ain't enough[00:06:19]
When 16 ain't enough[00:06:24]
When 16 ain't enough[00:06:30]
When 16 ain't enough[00:06:36]
Does your mama know you see me does she know you're freaky[00:06:41]
Does she ever wonder if it's 'bout ya I am speaking[00:06:44]
Do you ever ponder where I'm at when you get sleepy[00:06:47]
How the hell I'm gonna tell the youth don't be me[00:06:50]
Yea[00:06:52]
Does your daddy think you perfect does he know for certain[00:07:03]
Does he know how you act when you pull back all them curtains[00:07:06]
Do he think I'm 2Pac cause I'm black and put the words in[00:07:09]
Does he know his daughter might have caught a real merkman[00:07:12]
