[Hook:]
|
Come on everybody sit down
|
People wanna act like they are in and out
|
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
|
And tell you what's the word around town
|
I know you don't wanna hear the truth
|
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
|
But I just need you to believe
|
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
Remember back in '02
|
When I was in school and actin' a fool
|
My soul got saved, my debt had been paid
|
But still I kept running off on my crew
|
Sex on my brain, and death in my veins
|
Had a main thing, we stayed up 'til 2 (Smoke!)
|
Waking and thinking we naked, my body was loving it
|
Soul was hating it, man
|
Time and time after time, our bodies were close
|
The girl was so fine
|
Heard a heart beat that wasn't hers or mine
|
The miracle of life had started inside
|
Ignored the warning signs
|
Supressed that truth I felt inside
|
I was just having fun with this, I'm too young for this
|
I'm thinking me, myself, and I
|
Should I sacrifice this life to keep my vanity and live nice?
|
And she love and trust me so much that whatever I say, she'd probably oblige
|
But I was too selfish with my time
|
Scared my dreams were not gonna serve
|
So I dropped her off at that clinic
|
That day, a part of us died
|

[Verse 2:]
|
I remember back in the day
|
I was barely in the first grade
|
Got teeth missing, watching Tom & Jerry
|
Tryna go outside so I could play
|
I was told to watch out for strangers
|
Keep my eyes out for danger
|
Folks workin' late, I had a babysitter
|
I ain't 'bout to sit here and name her
|
I was almost 8, when she came in late
|
Woke me up with a game to play
|
Did a few things that's hard to say
|
Told me to keep that secret safe
|
How a young boy supposed to deal
|
I'm tryna act like it ain't real
|
Had my innocence just stripped from me
|
I still don't know how to feel
|
And I'm wondering how to address it
|
Can't tell my family, too messy
|
So I just embrace it, it's hard to face it
|
I'm too ashamed to confess it
|
So I kept it in and ain't speak
|
Can't think, it hit me so deep
|
So into it, I got promiscuous
|
And only God can help me get free
|
But I've been forgiven, my Savior risen
|
I'm out the prison, I know that
|
I got the power to say to no to all of my struggles
|
God will control that
|
Every time we slip and we fall
|
Gotta get back up and fight on
|
We are not defined by our past
|
The future look bright, I see the light on
|
