Mahalia - 17 Lyrics

i just turned 17

cute 💕

I love these video clips. Encouraging children to dance is important. Mahalia and her brothers made me smile. That is how my childhood was. 😂🤣😃😄😚😉😆😀😘

Yes this song is very heart filling...i love it.! 👌👌👍👌👌

I got my skin all out .........

AWWWW 😩💗

This is pretty damn good 😃

Powerful!

[Verse 1]
See, as people we try to please one another
In order to be equal, we lie so we don’t have to suffer
But I’m tired of hiding for the benefit of my peers
What’s so wrong with shining?
Why’ve you got so much fear?

[Pre-Chorus]
I got my skin all out
I don’t care, I’m proud to be me
Yeah
I was scared to stand out
Now I’m wearing my hair down

[Chorus]
And I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Well I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Seventeen

[Verse 2]
See, as teenagers we think we have to blend it
But if you want to be greater than this, there’s no use in pretending
Cause I tried to change myself for the benefit of my friends
Well now it’s time to wave goodbye cause
My used-to-be’s are at an end


[Pre-Chorus]
I got my skin all out
I don’t care, I’m proud to be me
Yeah
I was scared to stand out
Now I’m wearing my hair down

[Chorus]
And I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen, baby
I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Seventeen

[Post-Chorus]
I will be myself cause I like who I’m becoming
If you’re ready come with me, these boots are made for running
But, I’m sick of running in circles around ya
This ain't about ya, this ain't about ya

[Pre-Chorus]
I got my skin all out
I don’t care I’m proud to be me, yeah
And I was scared to stand out
Now I’m wearing my hair down

[Chorus]
And I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen

[Post-Chorus]
I will be myself cause I like who I’m becoming
If you’re ready come with me, these boots are made for running
But, I’m sick of running in circles around ya
This ain't about ya, this ain't about ya

Pure talent in every regard

17
Veja, como pessoas nós tentamos agradar um ao outro
Para sermos iguais, nós mentimos para que não tenhamos que sofrer
Mas estou cansado de me esconder para o benefício dos meus colegas
O que há de errado em brilhar?
Por que você tem tanto medo?

Eu tirei minha pele
Eu não me importo, tenho orgulho de ser eu
Sim
Eu estava com medo de me destacar
Agora estou usando meu cabelo pra baixo

E eu me sinto tão livre
Ah, é bom ter dezessete anos
Bem, me sinto tão livre
Ah, é bom ter dezessete anos
Dezessete

Veja, como adolescentes, pensamos que temos que nos misturar
Mas se você quer ser maior que isso, não adianta fingir
Porque eu tentei me mudar para o benefício dos meus amigos
Bem, agora é hora de acenar adeus porque
Meus costumes estão no fim

Eu tirei minha pele
Eu não me importo, tenho orgulho de ser eu
Sim
Eu estava com medo de me destacar
Agora estou usando meu cabelo pra baixo

E me sinto tão livre
Oh, é bom ter dezessete anos, baby
Me sinto tão livre
Ah, é bom ter dezessete anos
Dezessete

Eu serei eu mesmo porque eu gosto de quem eu estou me tornando
Se você estiver pronto venha comigo, essas botas são feitas para correr
Mas estou cansado de correr em círculos ao redor de você
Isso não é sobre você, isso não é sobre você

Eu tirei minha pele
Eu não me importo Tenho orgulho de ser eu
E eu estava com medo de me destacar
Agora estou usando meu cabelo pra baixo

E me sinto tão livre
Ah, é bom ter dezessete anos
Dezessete
Dezessete
Dezessete
Dezessete

Eu serei eu mesmo porque eu gosto de quem eu estou me tornando
Se você estiver pronto venha comigo, essas botas são feitas para correr
Mas estou cansado de correr em círculos ao redor de você
Isso não é sobre você, isso não é sobre você

And here I am crying , I listened to this song when I turned 17 . I listened to it when I went on a trip by myself for my birthday. There’s only 4 months left before I turn 18 , I learned so much about me . Thank you for this song , made me realised I am worth it . ❤️
