[Chorus]
No gyal cyaan tell me 'bout my mother (Mm, mm-mm)
Sixteen shot, we go longer than a ladder (Mm, mm-mm)
Dem nuh fi talk 'bout di real Don Dada (Mm, mm-mm)
Put body inna pot, dem ah bun like grabba (Mm, mm-mm)

Yuh coulda be badda than a Kingstonee
Diss my mother then your skin start bleed
So don't bother mess with my mommy
With my mommy, with my mommy

Baby, tink yuh bad, say ya badder than she (Eh)
If dog a-go bark, long time dem doh eat (Eh)
Rap on, pop off, make ya move like freak (Eh)
They say dem a gangsta, but so is mommy (They say, they say, they say)

[Pre-Chorus]
They gon' put hands on a chick
They gon' put hands on her

Eyes watchin' when I comin' through the door
What I'ma do, they ain't prepared for, for, for

[Chorus]
No gyal cyaan tell me 'bout my mother (Mm, mm-mm)

You gonna be madder than Bryant, Kobe
Diss my mother then your lip won't speak
So don't bother mess with my mommy
With my mommy, with my mommy
Jah really think you bad, say you badder than me (Eh)
If things a-go start tonight, you won't sleep (Eh)
Pop on, cut off, make ya look like creep (Eh)

Was this the song that gave Steff attention?
Genius Answer

Well, not really. “Hurtin' Me” was what propelled her to stardom as it peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart. But, “16 Shots” still garnered success such as on Youtube, being almost vevo-certified or one-hundred million views. But in a sense, “16 Shots” did allow Stefflon to garner a fanbase and popularity.
