"17 more years" lyrics

Mmm, mm

I don't wanna fight no more, tired of the court dates
Lawyers gettin' over on us, watchin' money go to waste
We should all get together on his birthday, light the cake
If we talk it'll get better, go ahead and drop the case
Used to text your phone, now we speakin' through the mail
You don't even know I got love for you still
Said you want me gone, is that really how you feel?
Might as well get along, we got 17 more years

All that love we had, I feel it vanishin'
All that hate we get, it's hard to manage it
How we supposed to make up for these damages?
We don't need no judges, we don't need to fight
I can't leave my son 'cause he need me in his life
Why you got him thinkin' that you Tina and I'm Ike?
I can never hate you, me and you created life
I don't need revenge, I don't need control
I just need a chance, wanna watch my baby grow
Lookin' at my phone the photos we took
You was my best friend, how'd we get here? I'm shook

I don't wanna fight no more, tired of the court dates
Lawyers gettin' over on us, watchin' money go to waste
We should all get together on his birthday, light the cake
If we talk it'll get better, go ahead and drop the case
Used to text your phone, now we speakin' through the mail
You don't even know I got love for you still
Said you want me gone, is that really how you feel?
Might as well get along, we got 17 more years

If your goal was to hurt me, girl, you did that
We could've talked at my house, you know where I live at
If you ever needed money, you know I'll give that
I can't even call your phone or see where my kid at
I'm happy for you and whoever that you with
Long as he can treat you better than I did
We ain't got no communication, that's the main thing
Every time we walk into that court they say the same thing
These judges judgin' me and I gotta stay calm
Still got respect for you, you are a good mom
Don't know what to do with myself, this happened so fast
Just call my phone and we can put this in the past

I don't wanna fight no more, tired of the court dates
Lawyers gettin' over on us, watchin' money go to waste
We should all get together on his birthday, light the cake
If we talk it'll get better, go ahead and drop the case
Used to text your phone, now we speakin' through the mail
You don't even know I got love for you still
Said you want me gone, is that really how you feel?
Might as well get along, we got 17 more years

It don't no sense, it don't make no sense
It don't no sense, it don't make no sense
