If I can turn back time..
leave a message in my mind
I’ll let myself know…
pretty soon things will be fine…
Always chase the money
it comes with women
and the shine
don’t regret the hustle
as long as you do it for the grind
So you dabbled with the crime..
use it to make to make you wiser
and on the nights you think you’re lost
know the mornings will be brighter
Inside you there’s a fighter…
who can never lose..
with a hard road ahead
Know which road you gotta choose…
You’ll get your heart broken
You’re life almost taken
but if you think that’s the end
then my child you are mistaken
through the pain…
you are awakened..
Believe they learn to love
if you learn..
how not to hate them
believe God has a plan
So stop trying to debate him.
Travel paths less taken
know you’re not forsaken
you got Angels on your side
while others roll with Satan!
And I don’t where this ends..
but I know how it began
and every obstacle you face
makes you a better man…
