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 wouldnand'ta sold no crack
Wouldnand'ta never put my hands around no gat
But you know loon beinand' all hard headed
And donand't listen even if god said it
I didnand't have to stick with folks that sniff no coke
I didnand't have to fix the block when shit was broke
Same cats i helped was twistinand' smoke
Now imagine if i went to school, went to class
and'stead of beinand' a young cat sent to blast
Sent to slash criminaland's necks in half
For playinand' dumb when i come to collect my cash
And cuz of that cats will respect my past, i ainand't playinand'
[shyne]
If i start from scratch iand'd sign with def jam
Nah, fuck am i saying? puffand's the best man
Plus iand'mma bad boy, iand'm more like a bad man
Put moand' niggaand's in pits than brad, man
Canand't dodge bullets? too bad, man
Shit, iand'd a copped the five instead of the six
That way wouldnand't of crashed and killed my cousin
Keep quiet instead of having the industry buzzinand'
Do a deviland's advocate style, donand't let and'em see you cominand'
Use the revolver when bustinand' and slugginand'
That way no evidence
But fuck it, got money to be tried, worse come to worse
Who god bless, no man curse, hatinand' niggas, lay in the dirt
[mase and meeno]
Yo, if you could start your life from scratch (what? what?)
Rewind time and still go back (itand's time to eat)
What would you change in the way that you live today
And what would you leave right where itand's at?
If you could start your life from scratch (what? what?)
Rewind time and still go back (about to kill it)
What would you change in the way that you live today
And what would you leave right where itand's at?
Come on, come on
[meeno]
Yo, if i could start life from scratch, i wouldnand't change shit
Same gun, same clip, same dumb bitch
All out, harlem world, same old clique
Same old studio, same old shit
Shit donand't change just because a cop took six to the brain
Meeno got a lawyer, man iand'm hip to the game
You could find a gun, but if my prints ainand't on that thing
What is you sayinand'?
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 copand's bum
[mysonne]
If i could start from scratch, iand'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
Tryinand' to school me with jewels, tellinand' me who to watch
I killed five people, iand'd let survive
And the five i took away, iand'd a left alive
If i could do all it again iand'd bring virgand' back
Or i switch places with him, i hope you heard that
I would have prefered that, i ainand't have to starve
Pitch crack, have to rob and catch a charge
And iand'd do it all again if i had to
Pitch no-win to win, and iand'd be glad to
And iand'd hit every target i took aim at
But iand'd still be a problem, you canand't change that
Iand'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 itand'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 donand't know whatand's goinand' on)
What would you change in the way that you live today
(iand'm tellinand' ya, i really donand't know whatand's goinand' on)
And what would you leave right where itand'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 donand't even love alot
Wish i wore three rubbers and'case the first rubber popped
But you canand't cry now, milk already spilt
I had eleven friends and ten already killed
Went down south and i ainand't feel the guilt
And i ainand't ready to war but that ainand'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, iand'd do it all for christ
Whoever thought the limelight or the super-stardom
Whoever thought thereand'd be a problem cominand' through harlem
Canand't even chill, cats wanna make me a villian
Cats that i grew up with i gotta contemplate killinand'
Nobody love me, iand'm my own mister, and on my own, mister
Mama did what she could but now iand'm grown, mister
Though she told me once, wish sheand'd told me then
Though iand'm the youngest, iand'mma grow to be the oldest man
And cats thinkinand' they gonand' win cuz they veterans
Ainand'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 screaminand' andquot;let me inandquot;?
From the outside itand's lookinand' gooder than it ever been
But tell the truth, when i was broke it was better then
All out, 33rd street

Yo, if you could start your life from scratch
Rewind time and still go back

And what would you leave right where itand's at?
