Aside give to a niggaTry to show the big pic to a niggaBut I can't conclude how some niggaz concludeThat the world is too small for them to live with a niggaI don't regret dude trying me, dude keeping that eye on meThen they gotta live with this thing called ironyAnd if I gotta live with the idea reminding meSongtexteThen they can't live when the iron's on me, yeah!Chorus:Lookin back on the things ive doneeverything happens for a reasonlife is somethin u learn fromeverything happens for a reasoni gotta make a confession theres nothin im regrettinglifes a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weaponso dont make melife is something u learn fromeverything happens for a reasonThings just ain't the same for gangstasAnd so I bear my soul, my pain, my angerI beg to the Lord, keep me far from mo' dangerLook I know 'em but can't see 'em, he's a popular strangerIf I never got stabbed, wouldn't remember Veronica's wrathStanding in the shower looking at the scabI wouldn't know the hints of a stick-up kidIf I ain't have that short stint as a stick-up kidIf dude never tried to kill me, I mighta went numbTo all the bullshit that goes on where I'm fromAnd if I never went to jail, wouldn't needed a bailWoulda probly went on to graduate from YaleWoulda been a prosecutor standing in the court of lawBut then that goes against everything he stands forAnd if I never met Glo, how would I really knowAll the shit that comes with, when you dealing with a hoSee it is what it is to beOr it is what it is, at least that's what it is to meAnd so if I could ever go back in historyI wouldn't change shit, I'd leave it all just to beAnd if my first album woulda did five when it droppedI'd be chillin, instead of tryna' rise to the topIf I could reverse the roles, would I reverse the roles?Would it be worth it to try to reverse the tolls?Chorus:Lookin back on the things ive doneeverything happens for a reasonlife is somethin u learn fromeverything happens for a reasoni gotta make a confession theres nothin im regrettinglifes a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weaponso dont make melife is something u learn fromeverything happens for a reasonI got a brother always keeps it real, his name's GuiltLet's me know I can't stand however it is I feelI got a cousin named Pride, nigga acts like a lawyerGotta a sister named Karma, I be tryna' avoid 'erGotta ex that's bitter, wants me to be her niggaHates my girl Self-Pity 'cause I'm always with herBut bitter's beef is valid, she don't like shorty 'cause sheuse meOne time she seen 'er verbally abuse meGot a friend that's passive, friends call him PassiveHe just says whatever hoping that shit passesMy Uncle Hindsight wears real thick glassesReminds me of where I been and how shit gets drasticGot a Aunt named Humility, she speaks low mumblesDon't care that I'm a rapper she keeps me so humbleIn my head I'll debate it, outloud I'll never say itI'm pretty sure it's a good reason we all related Aus Songtexte Mania
