Come here
Ayo, what's up, Faith? How you doin'?
It's common sense
Just came through, you know, to put my little two cents in
Yeah
You know what I mean? I been feelin'
Your pain, I hear you and all that
You know, but the media's crazy
Though, blowin' things out of proportion
They need to worry about they own homes instead of focusin' on us
You know what I'm sayin', baby? (Yeah)
Check the story out
Now I done felt a lot of pain and I done seen a lot of things
From strugglin' and broken hearts to fancy cars, ooh, yeah
And even though my money changed, I try my best to stay the same
But you know with more money, more problems came
(But if I) If I had to do it all again (If I had to)
I wouldn't take away the rain
'Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I've learned so much from my mistakes
That's how I know He's watchin' me (He's watchin' me)
In ATL, I caught a case and the media tried to say
I had a habit I couldn't manage and
I'm throwin' my life away (Ooh, yeah)
But everything ain't what it seems, just because it's on TV
'Cause they speculate and exaggerate for a better story
(If I) If I had to do it all again (Had to do it)
I wouldn't take away the rain (No)
'Cause I know it made me who I am (Said it made me who I am)
If I had to do it all again (Yeah)
I've learned so much from my mistakes
Said I know He's always watchin' me)
That's how I know He's watchin' me
Ayo, I came up in a grimey environment
Drugs and court cases, raised in violence
Everywhere I turned, I had the right to remain silent
In the mix, I got high, smokin' blunts and did drugs on the side
But I was still fly, writin' rhymes, neighborhood beefs
Caused me to see, had me humble myself to a degree
But I still caught three blunts, hoes and I gave it back
The moments that cannot be, I know God recorded that
That's how clear it gets (Yeah), through my experience (Word)
Take what I did and give it back, y'all be serious
Goin' through my hell and them painful trials
That's what made me the dapper that I am right now
Only one man can judge me, he in back of the clouds
And I hope he forgive me what I did to them towns
I had the newspapers shootin' me down with scrutiny
I can't change how I live my life, I'm here to make history
Now it's told me everything that happened, happened for a reason
And one man's forever might be God's season
Been in love so deep, it was hard for me to breathe
And knew somebody named me, it was hard for me to see him
I would talk freedom, but don't know if I was walkin' it
You can find love and quickly get lost in it
I fostered it, knowin' I'd be there for a while
Learnin' to be a man, but lovin' like a child
Somehow my light, y'all, became my rain
Heartbreak and pain started to say my name
The game of fame and love stopped playin' with me
People ask me, "Did you see her pregnant on TV?"
When that rain came, I tried to maintain as it rinsed me
Now I ain't the same man, father or MC
I see what God sent me loud and clear
If not for the smiles and tears, I wouldn't be here again
