[00:00.55][Intro]
[00:01.10] Hey look let me tell y'all somethin' alright?
[00:03.18] What I do, I do. Straight like that
[00:07.22] So ain't no sense in y'all troublin' yourselves over that
[00:10.07] Cause man the way I feel right now today
[00:12.56][Verse 1]
[00:14.34] I came up on the wrong side of the fence
[00:16.72] I gave my family pain and strife and asked them all for strength
[00:20.56] But hell in my defense
[00:22.34] And I got too much way too fast
[00:24.21] My mama told me it won't last
[00:26.03] Now I'm back down on the bottom
[00:28.16] Wishin' that I took another path
[00:30.04] I should've listened, but my mind was gone
[00:33.94] My temper too quick so when my fuse get lit
[00:36.37] So when it's on, it's on
[00:38.10] Yeah, everybody wrong
[00:39.62] Yeah, and I'm always right
[00:41.29] Yeah, ain't nobody to blame now
[00:42.98] It's me vs. me, man, this my fight
[00:43.95]
[00:44.36][Hook]
[00:45.57] So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before
[00:52.58] We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more
[00:58.31] I'm better
[00:59.00]
[01:00.00][Post-Hook]
[01:00.01] Yeah I put that on my family, all you gotta do is give me the chance
[01:07.48] And I can show you that I'm worthy of the trust that you require
[01:11.39] Put it all on my shoulders, I'm a fighter, I won't get tired
[01:14.83] When I'm back up in this corner, back up in this corner, tryna get out
[01:19.04] Back up in this corner, back up in this corner, gotta get out
[01:21.53]
[01:22.08][Verse 2]
[01:22.85] You think I got none but I got all kind of sense
[01:24.56] Stop judgin' my book by the cover
[01:26.49] Maybe you should do a little reconnaissance
[01:28.07] I ain't tryna vent, this ain't woe is me
[01:30.09] It's nothing owed to me
[01:31.11] Get the swan song, I don't need an ode to me
[01:32.94] Shit hopefully holdin' this rosary'll keep me out of close calls with the O police
[01:36.43] I said I'm tryna be a whole new me
[01:37.85] I ain't tryna do the same old thing
[01:39.72] I'm tryna prove to my family that I will not bring
[01:41.19] No more trouble around, I ain't gotta do nothing
[01:42.76] But stay out of shit, I ain't gotta be up in the chaotic
[01:45.31] Prolly cause it's my redemption that I'm entrenched in
[01:48.20] And I won't let anybody deny my vision, it's my decision
[01:50.58] But y'all ain't listenin'
[01:51.74]
[01:52.35][Hook]
[01:55.03] So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before
[02:01.81] We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more
[02:09.27] I'm better
[02:10.56] Yeah I put that on my family, all you gotta do is give me the chance
[02:17.50] And I can show you that I'm worthy of the trust that you require
[02:21.51] Put it all on my shoulders, I'm a fighter, I won't get tired
[02:24.69] When I'm back up in this corner, back up in this corner, tryna get out
[02:29.41] Back up in this corner, back up in this corner, gotta get out
[02:33.04][Verse 3]
[02:33.30] It's my gameplan now
[02:34.67] To get in this ring and show that I'm a changed man and how
[02:37.20] I won't blow another chance to make you proud
[02:38.88] Even though you got the right to hate me now
[02:40.80] I know you lost your hope in me
[02:41.93] But hopefully I can restore it back where it's supposed to be
[02:45.02] I just want my daughter back, this fight means much more than that
[02:47.46] I'm tryna think before I react, I ain't get the message at first
[02:50.75] I tried to ignore the facts
[02:51.88] But I'm much older, she's my soldier, I told you I'd go to war for that
[02:55.68] I said your boy is the truth and it's no lie in him
[02:57.55] All he needs is his family with him
[02:59.63] Y'all want him 'til it's no room given
[03:01.81] I'ma hit him 'til the ref come and get him
[03:03.01]
[03:03.32][Hook]
[03:03.83] So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before
[03:10.52] We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more
[03:17.76] I'm better
