Umm pum-pum-pum
|
Pum-pum, pum-pum, pum-pum
|
|
Look behind myself
|
As I reflect on all the memories
|
The times they come and go
|
Lost everything from friends to Family
|
If I could turn back the hands
|
There would be some things I'd change about me
|
I know that my past is not what my future holds
|
|
Where I come from
|
Who could believe
|
All the pain and misery
|
Look in my eyes and you'll see
|
The diary of me
|
|
Rewind my life
|
Just go back and correct all the wrong
|
And ask God to direct my path
|
So that I can make it home
|
And if I could turn back the hands of time
|
There would be some things I would change about me
|
But I know that my past is not what my future holds
|
'Cause
|
|
Where I'm from
|
Who could believe
|
All the pain, misery
|
Look in my eyes and you will see
|
The diary of me
|
|
Years ago a child was born (a child was born) (ooh)
|
And raised without a man (without my... father, and wonder why he's in these streets) (ooh)
|
|
My mother's gone (mothers gone, yet still... found the strength to pray for me) (ooh)
|
But still reached out her hand
|
Just open the book (na-na-na-na-na-na)
|
Turn the pages of my life (na-na-na)
|
And you will read
|
A true story about one man's journey
|
|
Where I'm from (ahh...)
|
Who would believe, yeah
|
That all the hurt and pain and misery (ahh...)
|
Look in my eyes (ahh...)
|
You'll see the diary of me (pum-pum-pum-pum-pum)
|
Where I'm from (where I'm from, who could believe) (ahh...)
|
Who could believe (the hurt and pain and misery)
|
(Look in my eyes) in my eyes (and you will see) (ahh...)
|
(The makings of) the makings of
|
(My diary) my diary
|
(Where I'm from) look in my eyes (ahh...)
|
(Who could believe) you'll see
|
(The hurt and pain and misery)
|
(Look in my eyes) (ahh...)
|
(And you will see) yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
|
(The makings of my diary)
|
(Where I'm from...) (ahh...)
