From Scratch |
Yo, just think if you could rewind time |
And start your life all over again |
What would you give and what would you keep? |
You heard me, what would you keep? |
Yo, yo, if I could go back, I wouldn’ta sold no crack |
Wouldn’ta never put my hands around no gat |
But you know Loon, bein' all hard-headed |
And don’t listen, even if God said it |
I didn’t have to stick with folks that sniff no coke |
I didn’t have to fix the block when shit was broke |
Same cats I helped was twistin' smoke |
Now imagine if I went to school, went to class |
'Stead of bein' a young cat sent to blast |
Sent to slash criminal’s necks in half |
For playin' dumb when I come to collect my cash |
And cuz of that cats will respect my past, I ain’t playin' |
If I start from scratch I’d sign with Def Jam |
Nah, fuck am I saying? |
Puff’s the best man |
Plus I’mma Bad Boy, I’m more like a bad man |
Put mo' nigga’s in pits than Brad, man |
Can’t dodge bullets? |
Too bad, man |
Shit, I’d a copped the five instead of the six |
That way wouldn’t of crashed and killed my cousin |
Keep quiet instead of having the industry buzzin' |
Do a devil’s advocate style, don’t let 'em see you comin' |
Use the revolver when bustin' and sluggin' |
That way no evidence |
But fuck it, got money to be tried, worse come to worse |
Who God bless, no man curse, hatin' niggas, lay in the dirt |
Yo, if you could start your life from scratch (What? What?) |
Rewind time and still go back (It's time to eat) |
What would you change in the way that you live today |
And what would you leave right where it’s at? |
If you could start your life from scratch (What? What?) |
Rewind time and still go back (About to kill it) |
What would you change in the way that you live today |
And what would you leave right where it’s at? |
Come on, come on |
Yo, if I could start life from scratch, I wouldn’t change shit |
Same gun, same clip, same dumb bitch |
All Out, Harlem World, same old clique |
Same old studio, same old shit |
Shit don’t change just because a cop took six to the brain |
Meeno got a lawyer, man I’m hip to the game |
You could find a gun, but if my prints ain’t on that thing |
What is you sayin'? |
And on the same block that I get my Glocks from |
You see the same cop that get popped with the shot gun |
(Mysonne: Mysonne) |
And at the same bodega I got my tops from |
(Mysonne: Mysonne) |
I give the same old money to the same cop’s bum |
If I could start from scratch, I’d bring daddy back |
And put five in the first cat that show mami crack |
I sit back and listen to them drunks on the block |
Tryin' to school me with jewels, tellin' me who to watch |
I killed five people, I’d let survive |
And the five I took away, I’d a left alive |
If I could do all it again I’d bring Virg' back |
Or I switch places with him, I hope you heard that |
I would have prefered that, I ain’t have to starve |
Pitch crack, have to rob and catch a charge |
And I’d do it all again if I had to |
Pitch no-win to win, and I’d be glad to |
And I’d hit every target I took aim at |
But I’d still be a problem, you can’t change that |
I’m a problem |
Yo, if you could start your life from scratch (Uh) |
Rewind time and still go back (All Out) |
What would you change in the way that you live today |
And what would you leave right where it’s at? |
(And Double Up) |
If you could start your life from scratch (Bad Boy, Bad Boy) |
Rewind time and still go back |
(Yo, I really don’t know what’s goin' on) |
What would you change in the way that you live today |
(I'm tellin' ya, I really don’t know what’s goin' on) |
And what would you leave right where it’s at? |
Come on, come on |
Yo, cuz half the cats that flip, we all was cool |
And half the chicks I hit, they teased me in school |
I got a baby by a lady I don’t even love alot |
Wish I wore three rubbers 'case the first rubber popped |
But you can’t cry now, milk already spilt |
I had eleven friends and ten already killed |
Went down south and I ain’t feel the guilt |
And I ain’t ready to war but that ain’t the way built |
And for all the nights and all the fights |
That I had for all this money over all these dice |
All my cars and homes and all my ice |
If I could do it all again, I’d do it all for Christ |
Whoever thought the limelight or the super-stardom |
Whoever thought there’d be a problem comin' through Harlem |
Can’t even chill, cats wanna make me a villian |
Cats that I grew up with I gotta contemplate killin' |
Nobody love me, I’m my own mister, and on my own, mister |
Mama did what she could but now I’m grown, mister |
Though she told me once, wish she’d told me then |
Though I’m the youngest, I’mma grow to be the oldest man |
And cats thinkin' they gon' win cuz they veterans |
Ain’t about age at this stage, man with the most cheddar win |
How you live right? |
Every day get in bigger sin |
How you say no at the door screamin' «Let me in»? |
From the outside it’s lookin' gooder than it ever been |
To tell the truth, when I was broke it was better then |
All Out, 33rd street |
Yo, if you could start your life from scratch |
Rewind time and still go back |
What would you change in the way that you live today |
And what would you leave right where it’s at? |
If you could start your life from scratch |
Rewind time and still go back |
What would you change in the way that you live today |
And what would you leave right where it’s at? |
Come on, come on |
