I put a lock on myself

'Cause I was burglarized early

It takes the shape of a death

But something new grows

When people get in my face

And want the whole of my story

I practice way too much grace

I know the threshold

If I told you I was angry

You'd tell me how I should change

Told you I was injured

You told me not to feel pain

Well, I'm not seventeen

I'm not seventeen anymore

But I've been keeping score

You saw the face of a kid

And felt a threat to your grown self

Everyone saw what you did

Tore down a young girl

I see these women out here

Raising their boys like messiahs

But all they model is fear

Creates the same world

And if I tell you that I'm angry

You tell me how I should change

Tell you that I'm injured

You tell me not to feel pain

Well, you're not seventeen

You're not seventeen anymore

But I've been keeping score

If I tell you that I'm angry

You tell me how I should change

Tell you that I'm injured

You tell me not to feel pain

Hey, we're not seventeen

We're not seventeen anymore

But I've been keeping score

I've been keeping score
