[00:08.82] |
Come on everybody sit down |
[00:12.02] |
People wanna act like they are in and out |
[00:15.53] |
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile |
[00:19.04] |
And tell you what's the word around town |
[00:22.14] |
I know you don't wanna hear the truth |
[00:25.53] |
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof |
[00:29.29] |
But I just need you to believe |
[00:31.94] |
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly |
[00:34.42] |
Remember back in '02 |
[00:36.16] |
When I was in school and actin' a fool |
[00:37.82] |
My soul got saved, my debt had been paid |
[00:39.69] |
But still I kept running off on my crew |
[00:41.22] |
Sex on my brain, and death in my veins |
[00:43.10] |
Had a main thing, we stayed up 'til 2 (Smoke!) |
[00:45.30] |
Waking and thinking we naked, my body was loving it |
[00:47.62] |
Soul was hating it, man |
[00:49.35] |
Time and time after time, our bodies were close |
[00:51.40] |
The girl was so fine |
[00:52.22] |
Heard a heart beat that wasn't hers or mine |
[00:53.79] |
The miracle of life had started inside |
[00:55.48] |
Ignored the warning signs |
[00:57.18] |
Suppressed that truth I felt inside |
[00:58.89] |
I was just having fun with this, I'm too young for this |
[01:00.99] |
I'm thinking me, myself, and I |
[01:02.21] |
Should I sacrifice this life to keep my vanity and live nice? |
[01:05.81] |
And she love and trust me so much that whatever I say, she'd probably oblige |
[01:09.37] |
But I was too selfish with my time |
[01:10.84] |
Scared my dreams were not gonna survive |
[01:12.75] |
So I dropped her off at that clinic |
[01:14.68] |
That day, a part of us died |
[01:18.76] |
Come on everybody sit down |
[01:21.78] |
People wanna act like they are in and out |
[01:25.49] |
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile |
[01:28.83] |
And tell you what's the word around town |
[01:32.18] |
I know you don't wanna hear the truth |
[01:35.51] |
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof |
[01:39.42] |
But I just need you to believe |
[01:43.74] |
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly |
[01:46.02] |
I remember back in the day |
[01:47.25] |
I was barely in the first grade |
[01:49.19] |
Got teeth missing, watching Tom & Jerry |
[01:50.86] |
Tryna go outside so I could play |
[01:52.60] |
I was told to watch out for strangers |
[01:54.41] |
Keep my eyes peeled for danger |
[01:56.14] |
Folks workin' late, I had a babysitter |
[01:57.75] |
I ain't 'bout to sit here and name her |
[01:59.46] |
I was almost 8, when she came in late |
[02:01.28] |
Woke me up with a game to play |
[02:03.03] |
Did a few things that's hard to say |
[02:04.68] |
Told me to keep that secret safe |
[02:07.20] |
How a young boy supposed to deal |
[02:08.79] |
I'm tryna act like it ain't real |
[02:10.20] |
Had my innocence just stripped from me |
[02:12.59] |
And I still don't know how to feel |
[02:13.92] |
And I'm wondering how to address it |
[02:15.91] |
Can't tell my family, too messy |
[02:17.67] |
So I just embrace it, it's hard to face it |
[02:19.70] |
I'm too ashamed to confess it |
[02:21.18] |
So I kept it in and ain't speak |
[02:22.82] |
Didn't think, it hit me so deep |
[02:24.57] |
So into it, I got promiscuous |
[02:26.65] |
And only God can help me get free |
[02:28.15] |
But I've been forgiven, my Savior risen |
[02:30.25] |
I'm out the prison, I know that |
[02:31.85] |
I got the power to say to no to all of my struggles |
[02:34.06] |
God will control that |
[02:35.41] |
Every time we slip and we fall |
[02:37.10] |
Gotta get back up and fight on |
[02:38.60] |
We are not defined by our past |
[02:40.24] |
The future look bright, I see the light on |
[02:51.14] |
Come on everybody sit down |
[02:54.37] |
People wanna act like they are in and out |
[02:57.83] |
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile |
[03:01.35] |
And tell you what's the word around town |
[03:04.87] |
I know you don't wanna hear the truth |
[03:08.39] |
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof |
[03:12.57] |
But I just need you to believe |
[03:15.96] |
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly |
[03:17.39] |
