Been to hell and back, many timesI have faced many tough times in my life.

I ain′t never walked no lineI have never followed a conventional path in life.

I've never been no kinda saint, but I promise you I′m one of a kindI am not perfect, but I am unique in my own way.

I been handcuffed, faced in the dirtI have been arrested and humiliated.

I been dressed up, ready for churchI have tried to fit in and look presentable.

I've been betrayed, my heart is been brokenI have been let down and hurt by others.

And I broke some hearts and I ripped em openI have also hurt other people in the past.

I'm just a man. I made mistakesI am human and have made errors in judgement.

Never settled down, living place to placeI have not had a stable living situation and have moved around frequently.

I been ashamed and I′ve been proudI have experienced both shame and pride in my life.

I can laugh about it or break downI have found ways to deal with my emotions by either laughing or crying.

Never been too good at love, never had a love that would love me backI have struggled with finding love and have not had a lot of success in this area.

No one around when I needed helpI have felt alone and unsupported during difficult times.

I was lost in hell and way off trackI have felt lost and hopeless at times.

I been sick and tired, I′ve cried the bluesI have been physically and emotionally exhausted and felt hopeless.

I heard people sayin that I'm bad newsI have been judged and criticized by others for my past actions.

And that′s half the truthWhat people say about me is not the whole truth.

But, you only gonna see the half of me that's meant for youOnly certain people will be able to see my true self.

I′ve chased dreams, I've wasted timeI have pursued my aspirations but also spent time on things that did not benefit me.

I′ve hurried up, just to wait in lineI have rushed to get things done, only to find myself waiting for something else.

But, I've paid my dues, I can't wait for mineI have worked hard and sacrificed to get where I am, and I am ready for success.

I gotta legacy to leave behindI want to create a lasting impact and be remembered for what I have accomplished.

No matter what you think of meRegardless of what people think of me.

Just keep it real and don′t be fake with meI want people to be honest and genuine with me.

Dont talk that trash unless you′re facing meDo not talk behind my back; confront me directly if you have an issue.

And if you think I'll fail Just wait and see ′Cause I've seen it all and I′m not afraid The blood, the sweat and too much pain I've lost it all and got it all to gain So, I′m on my way, thank God I've changedI have faced numerous challenges and setbacks, but I am not afraid to continue working towards my goals and improving myself.

Everybody changes, good or badEveryone goes through changes, whether positive or negative.

But it's up to you, what path you chooseEach person is responsible for their own path in life.

When your backs up against that wall again And you feel like everything′s just fallin′ in Everything changes, better or worse It could be hell or heaven on Earth, like fairytales But, the real truth hurtsDuring challenging times, everything can change and the outcome can be good or bad, but the reality may be difficult to accept.

You only get what you deserveYou will receive what you have earned in life.

Never switched up, Never sold out For this music game, I poured my soul out Heartbreak and pains all I know about I need happiness, I′m gettin' older nowI have remained true to myself in the music industry and poured my emotions into my work, despite experiencing heartbreak and pain in my personal life.

My momma needs a better house And my little brother he's with her too So, I′ve gotta get my feet on the ground Gotta do this here with nothing to loseI want to provide a better home for my mother and take care of my younger brother, which motivates me to work hard and take risks.

My kids have seen me struggle at times But, I did good a couple of times Look how far I′ve came with a troublesome mind When I could failed and came crumbling downAlthough my children have witnessed my struggles, I have also had some successes and achieved a lot despite facing difficulties.

I've did dirt, I′ve been kicked in it Built a house of pain and I lived in it Been badmouthed and talked down on So, it feels good to put a smile onI have made mistakes and faced criticism and negativity in my life, but I appreciate the moments of happiness and joy.

And I promise that I'll never go back To that place that I lived in the past To the person that I used to be ′Cause I'm finally free at lastI have overcome my past struggles and do not want to return to that state of mind or person I once was.

So, if I never make it in music Just know that I made it in life And that′s more than I could ever ask for And I think I'm doin' alrightEven if I do not achieve success in the music industry, I am content with how far I have come in life and am satisfied with my progress.

But it′s up to you, what path you choose Everybody changes And everything changes 'Cause everybody changes And you only get what you deserveEach person has their own path and experiences changes in life, but ultimately, they receive what they have earned.
