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