Mysonne - From Scratch lyrics

[Mase] Yo, just think if you could rewind time And start your life all over again What would you give and what would you keep? You heard me, what would you keep? [Loon] Yo, yo, if I could go back, I wouldn'ta sold no crack Wouldn'ta never put my hands around no gat But you know Loon, bein' all hard-headed And don't listen, even if God said it I didn't have to stick with folks that sniff no coke I didn't have to fix the block when sh** was broke Same cats I helped was twistin' smoke Now imagine if I went to school, went to cla** 'Stead of bein' a young cat sent to blast Sent to slash criminal's necks in half For playin' dumb when I come to collect my cash And cuz of that cats will respect my past, I ain't playin' [Shyne] If I start from scratch I'd sign with Def Jam Nah, f** am I saying? Puff's the best man Plus I'mma Bad Boy, I'm more like a bad man Put mo' n***a's in pits than Brad, man Can't dodge bullets? Too bad, man sh**, I'd a copped the five instead of the six That way wouldn't of crashed and k**ed my cousin Keep quiet instead of having the industry buzzin' Do a devil's advocate style, don't let 'em see you comin' Use the revolver when bustin' and sluggin' That way no evidence But f** it, got money to be tried, worse come to worse Who God bless, no man curse, hatin' n***as, lay in the dirt [Mase & Meeno] Yo, if you could start your life from scratch (What? What?) Rewind time and still go back (It's time to eat) What would you change in the way that you live today And what would you leave right where it's at? If you could start your life from scratch (What? What?) Rewind time and still go back (About to k** it) What would you change in the way that you live today And what would you leave right where it's at? Come on, come on [Meeno] Yo, if I could start life from scratch, I wouldn't change sh** Same gun, same clip, same dumb b**h All Out, Harlem World, same old clique Same old studio, same old sh** sh** don't change just because a cop took six to the brain Meeno got a lawyer, man I'm hip to the game You could find a gun, but if my prints ain't on that thing What is you sayin'? And on the same block that I get my Glocks from You see the same cop that get popped with the shot gun (Mysonne: Mysonne) And at the same bodega I got my tops from (Mysonne: Mysonne) I give the same old money to the same cop's bum [Mysonne] If I could start from scratch, I'd bring daddy back And put five in the first cat that show mami crack I sit back and listen to them drunks on the block Tryin' to school me with j**els, tellin' me who to watch I k**ed five people, I'd let survive And the five I took away, I'd a left alive If I could do all it again I'd bring Virg' back Or I switch places with him, I hope you heard that I would have prefered that, I ain't have to starve Pitch crack, have to rob and catch a charge And I'd do it all again if I had to Pitch no-win to win, and I'd be glad to And I'd hit every target I took aim at But I'd still be a problem, you can't change that I'm a problem [Mase] Yo, if you could start your life from scratch (Uh) Rewind time and still go back (All Out) What would you change in the way that you live today And what would you leave right where it's at? (And Double Up) If you could start your life from scratch (Bad Boy, Bad Boy) Rewind time and still go back (Yo, I really don't know what's goin' on) What would you change in the way that you live today (I'm tellin' ya, I really don't know what's goin' on) And what would you leave right where it's at? Come on, come on [Mase] Yo, cuz half the cats that flip, we all was cool And half the chicks I hit, they teased me in school I got a baby by a lady I don't even love alot Wish I wore three rubbers 'case the first rubber popped But you can't cry now, milk already spilt I had eleven friends and ten already k**ed Went down south and I ain't feel the guilt And I ain't ready to war but that ain't the way built And for all the nights and all the fights That I had for all this money over all these dice All my cars and homes and all my ice If I could do it all again, I'd do it all for Christ Whoever thought the limelight or the super-stardom Whoever thought there'd be a problem comin' through Harlem Can't even chill, cats wanna make me a villian Cats that I grew up with I gotta contemplate k**in' Nobody love me, I'm my own mister, and on my own, mister Mama did what she could but now I'm grown, mister Though she told me once, wish she'd told me then Though I'm the youngest, I'mma grow to be the oldest man And cats thinkin' they gon' win cuz they veterans Ain't about age at this stage, man with the most cheddar win How you live right? Every day get in bigger sin How you say no at the door screamin' "Let me in"? From the outside it's lookin' gooder than it ever been But tell the truth, when I was broke it was better then All Out, 33rd street [Mase] Yo, if you could start your life from scratch Rewind time and still go back What would you change in the way that you live today And what would you leave right where it's at? If you could start your life from scratch Rewind time and still go back What would you change in the way that you live today And what would you leave right where it's at? Come on, come on
