Various Artists - This Corner lyrics

[Intro] Hey look let me tell y'all somethin' alright? What I do, I do. Straight like that So ain't no sense in y'all troublin' yourselves over that Cause man the way I feel right now today [Verse 1] I came up on the wrong side of the fence I gave my family pain and strife and asked them all for strength But hell in my defense And I got too much way too fast My mama told me it won't last Now I'm back down on the bottom Wishin' that I took another path I should've listened, but my mind was gone My temper too quick so when my fuse get lit So when it's on, it's on Yeah, everybody wrong Yeah, and I'm always right Yeah, ain't nobody to blame now It's me vs. me, man, this my fight [Hook] So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more I'm better [Post-Hook] Yeah I put that on my family, all you gotta do is give me the chance And I can show you that I'm worthy of the trust that you require Put it all on my shoulders, I'm a fighter, I won't get tired When I'm back up in this corner, back up in this corner, tryna get out Back up in this corner, back up in this corner, gotta get out [Verse 2] You think I got none but I got all kind of sense Stop judgin' my book by the cover Maybe you should do a little reconnaissance I ain't tryna vent, this ain't woe is me It's nothing owed to me Get the swan song, I don't need an ode to me sh** hopefully holdin' this rosary'll keep me out of close calls with the O police I said I'm tryna be a whole new me I ain't tryna do the same old thing I'm tryna prove to my family that I will not bring No more trouble around, I ain't gotta do nothing But stay out of sh**, I ain't gotta be up in the chaotic Prolly cause it's my redemption that I'm entrenched in And I won't let anybody deny my vision, it's my decision But y'all ain't listenin' [Hook] So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more I'm better [Post-Hook] Yeah I put that on my family, all you gotta do is give me the chance And I can show you that I'm worthy of the trust that you require Put it all on my shoulders, I'm a fighter, I won't get tired When I'm back up in this corner, back up in this corner, tryna get out Back up in this corner, back up in this corner, gotta get out Back up in this corner, back up in this corner [Verse 3] It's my gameplan now To get in this ring and show that I'm a changed man and how I won't blow another chance to make you proud Even though you got the right to hate me now I know you lost your hope in me But hopefully I can restore it back where it's supposed to be I just want my daughter back, this fight means much more than that I'm tryna think before I react, I ain't get the message at first I tried to ignore the facts But I'm much older, she's my soldier, I told you I'd go to war for that I said your boy is the truth and it's no lie in him All he needs is his family with him Y'all want him 'til it's no room given I'ma hit him 'til the ref come and get him [Hook] So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more I'm better
