| 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? | |
| [Loon] | |
| 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' | |
| [Shyne] | |
| 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 | |
| [Mase & Meeno] | |
| 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 | |
| [Meeno] | |
| 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 | |
| [Mysonne] | |
| 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 | |
| [Mase] | |
| 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 | |
| [Mase] | |
| 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 | |
| But tell the truth, when I was broke it was better then | |
| All Out, 33rd street | |
