21 Lyrics
You Say, You Say
Huh
You Say
You Say I’m Too Young, Too Foolish
Well, I Became Myself ‘spite What You Said
Still Tryna Find A Way That I Can Stay The Same
Maybe That’s My Naïveté
Fu*k That Shit, I’ma Run It How I Want, That’s It
Money Singing Off The Phone, That Shit Works For Me
It’s A Purse On Me (That’s A Bag)
No Dey Put A Curse On Me (I Reflect)
Letting God Work On Me (I Repent)
Do It For Myself, Never For A Man
I’m Just Twenty One
What It Feels To Be More Than Twenty One
I’ve Never Known, I’ve Never Tried, Never Loved
What Am I Supposed To Do With What I Done?
Where Did All The Years Go?
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten
I Was At The House Tryna Figure Out Who The Fu*k I Am
Eleven, Twelve, Went Too Fast
Three To Sixteen, Too Fast
Seven, Eight Was A Big Year
Nineteen Got A Big Bag
I’m Counting Hundreds, Playing “20 Something'”
I’m Counting On Myself Now
Crying By Myself Now
I’m Twenty-one
At My Grown-A*s Age (Damn)
Oh, Twenty One
What It Feels To Be More Than Twenty One
I’ve Never Known, I’ve Never Tried, Never Loved
Forgive If I Don’t Say It Right Or Say Enough, Oh
Real Shit, I’m Just Twenty One
Ooh, I’m Just Twenty One
Oh, I’m Just Twenty One
Two, One (Twenty One)
Two, One (Twenty One)
Two, One (Twenty One)
Two, One (Twenty One)
Two, One (Twenty One)
Two, One (Twenty One)
Two, One (Twenty One)
