17 candles to blow out this year But I cannot cos I know the bank accounts in tears Gotta save the money stack the bread and share it with my peers When my blossom blooms imma buy mum a chandelier It felt like I'd been 16 for 16 years That's probably why I cried 256 tears For all the people that I've wronged, the ones that end up in my songs But to them I had a brave face to prove that I was strong Back when I was 15 didn't know no better I was stupid, I was reckless, didn't wear my sweater But I was sweating every single time I went up in the room Had my mind racing, had me thinking, what I do 14 was pivotal, song about it soon But that was the year that my mental health was doomed I didn't want a life bro I wasn't in the mood But then a devil in disguise made me hit resume 13 was hazy or is my mind just lazy Or maybe instigating getting mugged is just crazy That's right but don't worry right now I'm all good Just tryna represent how your neighbours know the hood Back in 12 days and I ain't talking bout Christmas To be honest I could think of 12 ways he missed it I really wanna tell him how bad I truly missed him But if I ever had a chance you can be sure I kissed it Goodbye to 11 And if I die, I'm going heaven I ain't even gotta try, you see the levels But you know I'm gonna fly against the wind like a rebel Got 10 years left till I'm almost 30 10 years ago me and life were so flirty Live it to the fullest even when it gets dirty Funny how the ones I love tend to hurt me Back when I was 9 I started my fourth year But that ship sailed time ago, to the north pier My first institution was cold and they wouldn't let me expand They wouldn't let me grow, do the best that I can When I was 8 I had my existential crisis My mind was way ahead and bro I'm talking lightyears Thought I could take it to infinity and beyond But nowadays it feels like the buzz is just gone 7 was the year of gymnastics for me Did cartwheels and handsprings and aerials with glee But now it's all different cos my body's getting old My bones are gonna freeze cos my muscles getting cold Back when I was 6 I didn't know what to believe I played with all the sticks that used to fall down from the trees I never was a climber though that job was down to them I loved to be outside in the square with all my friends Round when I was 5, what a time to be alive I had a puppy called Lexi I don't like to talk about her cos it just stress me Coming home from school she give me hugs and just bless me Wanna walk? Yes Please Wanna talk? Hell No Round when I was 4 I had the fortitude to dodge all the walls and hit the mirrors Guess that's 28 years bad luck, tell me what's different If I'm 17 now, I've got 11 left Will it be good luck season or will I just be bereft Will they charge me for a reason or will I just be arrested You're coming for the king? That's treason no question I've burned this candle too long, light the next one Back when I was 3 I just wanted to be free Simple rhymes for simple times Don't need no dictionary I just played pictionary Don't need no lexicon a hexagon was my vocabulary Six words was all I needed, just concise and not conceited I could write it I could read it, let me say so you can hear it "I love mum, I love dad" without them there's no rap I'm not taking that's back and that's that When i was 2 my sis was 12 And i ain't even gonna delve into how much i love her I got bars up on the shelf but you gon need a ladder Cos i ain't putting no one above her Cos she the one, when I was 1 In her arms was where she held me Now the thought of her everyday it just propels me This is my 17th candle what can you tell me 0, now I'm at 0 Bro I got 0 time, I had 0 lines I had nothing on my mind, didn't even have a mind Just a light that could shine, a light that was mine A light that followed me even in my dreams I got a life that can tear can all your fabric at the seams And I promise you this light and life ain't as it seems My light is evergreen Now I'm 17
