Believe Me (feat. Meek Mill)

oh man i wish i knew
i wish i knew it then
but i dont let it stop me you know ill be back again
all the mistakes i made all trouble ive been in
shape me into the person you see standing here
i wish you knew me back when i was young
you can see me just as far ive come
so dont judge me you dont know me
please oh yeah believe me
up to third grade it was all a’s
fourth and fith grades was the hard days
detention and suspension wasnt all ways
by the time i made to highschool it was the hard way the i wish i had a car days
Cause all the stewards that was trapping they was all payed
And we was all broke, that’s when the law broke
Cops catch us wouldn’t say a word like our jaw broke
Picture me back then, Look at me right now
Preforming in front of twenty thousand on the mic now
I caught a couple cases, I had to pipe down
Was living in the dark I’m in the light now
You grind hard, then you shine harder
I’m going hard like my last name Carter, Dwayne, Sean, and Vin
Who’ll play my life if I be born again
O man I wish I knew, I wish I knew it then
But I don’t let it stop me you know I’ll be back again
All the mistakes I’ve made, trouble that I’ve been in
It shaped me into the person you see standing here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I’ve come
So don’t judge me, you don’t know me
Please o yeah believe me
Yeah — Don’t have to listen to me, you don’t have to believe a single word I say
No, that’s what my mother told me, still I went out and learned everything the
hard way
And I’ve been crying, no no, I’ve been crying', no no
O yeah, she told me to grow up, I grew up and stood up now each day I move up
again
I got a minute to say what I want, trying to make for everything that I’ve done
wrong
But that made me who I am, and if I broke your heart, well I’m sorry again
Oh man I wish I knew, I wish I knew it then
But I don’t let it stop me you know I’ll be back again
All the mistakes I’ve made, trouble that I’ve been in
It shaped me into the person you see standing' here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I’ve come
So don’t judge me, you don’t know me
Please, oh yeah believe me
Thinking' back when I was in the trap
Without a dollar to my name, I wasn’t thinking rap
Niggas say I change, ask what I think of that
I say change for the better, I’m never thinking' back
I should be a power forward
Shitting' so much I think my toilet outta order
Take 'em out the box they like a fish up out the water
But me, I’mma survive, put that on my Ma swear to God
How you gonna win when you never try
I can see my future like I’m living in a mirage
Everyday I’m living' life like I could never die
Old clothes in my closet, new whips in my garage
New chick in my bedroom, old chick by my side
New watch on my wrist saying this is my time
So don’t judge me, just love me
Their is nothing' above me
My future so pretty, say God don’t like ugly
