[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]
