| [00:08.82] | Come on everybody sit down |
| [00:12.02] | People wanna act like they are in and out |
| [00:15.53] | Well I'm here to wipe off your smile |
| [00:19.04] | And tell you what's the word around town |
| [00:22.14] | I know you don't wanna hear the truth |
| [00:25.53] | I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof |
| [00:29.29] | But I just need you to believe |
| [00:31.94] | I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly |
| [00:34.42] | Remember back in '02 |
| [00:36.16] | When I was in school and actin' a fool |
| [00:37.82] | My soul got saved, my debt had been paid |
| [00:39.69] | But still I kept running off on my crew |
| [00:41.22] | Sex on my brain, and death in my veins |
| [00:43.10] | Had a main thing, we stayed up 'til 2 (Smoke!) |
| [00:45.30] | Waking and thinking we naked, my body was loving it |
| [00:47.62] | Soul was hating it, man |
| [00:49.35] | Time and time after time, our bodies were close |
| [00:51.40] | The girl was so fine |
| [00:52.22] | Heard a heart beat that wasn't hers or mine |
| [00:53.79] | The miracle of life had started inside |
| [00:55.48] | Ignored the warning signs |
| [00:57.18] | Suppressed that truth I felt inside |
| [00:58.89] | I was just having fun with this, I'm too young for this |
| [01:00.99] | I'm thinking me, myself, and I |
| [01:02.21] | Should I sacrifice this life to keep my vanity and live nice? |
| [01:05.81] | And she love and trust me so much that whatever I say, she'd probably oblige |
| [01:09.37] | But I was too selfish with my time |
| [01:10.84] | Scared my dreams were not gonna survive |
| [01:12.75] | So I dropped her off at that clinic |
| [01:14.68] | That day, a part of us died |
| [01:18.76] | Come on everybody sit down |
| [01:21.78] | People wanna act like they are in and out |
| [01:25.49] | Well I'm here to wipe off your smile |
| [01:28.83] | And tell you what's the word around town |
| [01:32.18] | I know you don't wanna hear the truth |
| [01:35.51] | I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof |
| [01:39.42] | But I just need you to believe |
| [01:43.74] | I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly |
| [01:46.02] | I remember back in the day |
| [01:47.25] | I was barely in the first grade |
| [01:49.19] | Got teeth missing, watching Tom & Jerry |
| [01:50.86] | Tryna go outside so I could play |
| [01:52.60] | I was told to watch out for strangers |
| [01:54.41] | Keep my eyes peeled for danger |
| [01:56.14] | Folks workin' late, I had a babysitter |
| [01:57.75] | I ain't 'bout to sit here and name her |
| [01:59.46] | I was almost 8, when she came in late |
| [02:01.28] | Woke me up with a game to play |
| [02:03.03] | Did a few things that's hard to say |
| [02:04.68] | Told me to keep that secret safe |
| [02:07.20] | How a young boy supposed to deal |
| [02:08.79] | I'm tryna act like it ain't real |
| [02:10.20] | Had my innocence just stripped from me |
| [02:12.59] | And I still don't know how to feel |
| [02:13.92] | And I'm wondering how to address it |
| [02:15.91] | Can't tell my family, too messy |
| [02:17.67] | So I just embrace it, it's hard to face it |
| [02:19.70] | I'm too ashamed to confess it |
| [02:21.18] | So I kept it in and ain't speak |
| [02:22.82] | Didn't think, it hit me so deep |
| [02:24.57] | So into it, I got promiscuous |
| [02:26.65] | And only God can help me get free |
| [02:28.15] | But I've been forgiven, my Savior risen |
| [02:30.25] | I'm out the prison, I know that |
| [02:31.85] | I got the power to say to no to all of my struggles |
| [02:34.06] | God will control that |
| [02:35.41] | Every time we slip and we fall |
| [02:37.10] | Gotta get back up and fight on |
| [02:38.60] | We are not defined by our past |
| [02:40.24] | The future look bright, I see the light on |
| [02:51.14] | Come on everybody sit down |
| [02:54.37] | People wanna act like they are in and out |
| [02:57.83] | Well I'm here to wipe off your smile |
| [03:01.35] | And tell you what's the word around town |
| [03:04.87] | I know you don't wanna hear the truth |
| [03:08.39] | I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof |
| [03:12.57] | But I just need you to believe |
| [03:15.96] | I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly |
| [03:17.39] |
