I look up I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I made mistakes But I'm just man enough to say, there's no turning back now There's no turning back now Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I made mistakes But I'm just man enough to say, there's no turning back now There's no turning back now Tequila glasses Shots to the head, 'cause some memories they need assassins Got a quarter pound of purp, an eighth of gin and half my friends Gone, gone Man, fuck it, though, I'm not too good with praxis Try to do it all on my own Not too good with asking 'cause when people Give you a hand they want an audience back But they not clapping and standing, they clapping, ambulance panning Pop, pop that AK take cannons I aim for the sky, never landing And yeah, I look up, up, up in the mirror I see a nigga getting rich off me Now look at all these motherfuckers trying to get rich off me But they wasn't there, not when times Got heavy, man, when things got deadly Before my cash flow broke that levy Man, we ain't have no heat in that broke ass Chevy Coming from a city where dreams get shredded Recording on credit 'cause niggas need debit Made mistakes but that made me what I am What I am, what I am and I don't regret it And I found a girl that I'd marry The only curse is that I keep running Into the girls that I fucked first But that's the lifestyle of the big, big dogs For everything you love and want, would you trade it all? Oh, would you trade it all? For everything you love and want, would you trade it all? I mean, a big house, life you never saw For everything you want and love, would you trade it all? Oh, would you trade it all? Everything you know, are you down to let it go? Fuck, no Trying to make it out the city where niggas don't make it out And if you do they want the blue print So they can try and trace it out They got that work Thank God for Ye Signing good, thank God for Ye Before it's all said and done, the one thing that I gotta say is... I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I made mistakes But I'm just man enough to say there's no turning back now There's no turning back now Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I made mistakes But I'm just man enough to say there's no turning back now There's no turning back now Man, I miss my grandma She ain't passed away or nothing, I'm just busy on camera I love her I love her I should call her up and tell her Give her some flowers while she can still smell 'em While she can still smell 'em If you love somebody please tell 'em I swear if you had 24 hours, tell me who or what would you do? Would you spend it all with your fam Or would you get high with your crew? Would you go back to your old girl and let her know that it's true? Would you go back to your old boss and piss all over his shoes? Would you try and make the news? Would you get paid? Would you try and pay your dues? Would you step it up or would you try and trade shoes? Do you believe in karma or living for tomorrow? Would you hit the bar and go binging? Would you steal a car, Mercedes Benz it? Would you die alone? Would you die independent? Or would you have your friends right there In attendance when it's all finished? Guess that depends on how you live Just pray that all of your wrongs don't overshadow all that you did But that's the lifestyle of the big, big dogs For everything you love and want, would you trade it all? Oh, would you trade it all? For everything you love and want, would you trade it all? I mean, a big house, life you never saw For everything you want and love, would you trade it all? Oh, would you trade it all? Everything you know, are you down to let it go? I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I made mistakes But I'm just man enough to say there's no turning back now There's no turning back now Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I made mistakes But I'm just man enough to say there's no turning back now There's no turning back now
