Now I done felt a lot of pain,
and I done seen a lot of things
Struggling and broken hearts,
And even though my money changed,
I try my best to stay the same
But you're not with my money,
But if I, I had to do it all again
I wouldn't take away the rain
Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I've learned so much from my mistakes
And now I know he's watching me
And the media tried to say
I had a habit I couldn't manage
And I'm throwing my life away
But everything ain't what it seems
Cause they speculate and exagger
If I had to do it all again,
I wouldn't take away the rain
Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again,
I've learned so much from my mistakes
Yo, I came up in a grimy environment
I had the right to remain silent
But I was still fly, writin' rhymes
Neighborhood beefs caused me to see
Had me humble myself to a degree
But I still caught three lil' hoes
The moments of can it be,
That's how clear it gets,
Take what I did and give it back,
That's what made me the dapper
Only one man can judge me,
shooting me down with scrutiny
I can't change how I live my life,
I everything that happened,
it was hard for me to breathe
The new somebody named me,
it was hard for me to see him
but don't know if I was walking it.
and quickly get lost in it
I fostered it knowing I'd be
the game of fame and love
Did you see a pregnant on TV
I tried to maintain as it rinsed me now.
I ain't the same man father or MC
I see where God sent me loud and clear,
if not for the smiles and tears,
I wouldn't be here again.
