[Speaking:] Kinda wanna talk about myself today We'll call this shit honesty hour Yeah, alright
[Verse 1:] It's like mid '91 and I'm her growing pains And she saying "You should change, you don't have to go that way" But then you walk out and you do you And you telling her that you knew You would do something that day Even though, I was on my way And it hurts me 'cause you knew that You took the pistol, you pulled back Didn't think that nigga would of fought back Didn't think one shot could of caused that And I hate you, I hope you know this shit Tears wanna fall, lemme hold that shit Get what you give when you sold that shit Can't really understand how we go that quick I used to pray that God would give you a second chance You know, maybe then you would be a better man But, you dream until you realize Everything runs, especially the tears cry Even after all of the years I, probably never know what it feels like Damn, and you don't know what I've been through If Hell is where they sent you Then dare I say, that I've been too And maybe we were together for a moment Even though I never really shown it Every cut hurts so much more When there ain't nothing to put on it And boy you should of seen my mom Got hurt, but she did a damn good job I was one of the smartest in my class Dad, I worked so damn hard And I got through it all Even when they hurt and raped me But I can't let go of the thought that You probably could have saved me
[Hook:] But I got it (I got it) (Yeah) 'Cause pain hurts but it heals too And after all this shit that I've been through I got it (I got it) (Yeah)
[Chorus:] Look what you've done Look what you've done Look what you've done for me (Oooh, yeah yeah) When life's hard, it means something You get through, you gon' be something You got it (you got it) (Yeah) Look what you've done Look what you've done Look what you've done for me
[Verse 2:] It's like '06, 6: 30 in the early A My mom wakes me and my brother And says that we're going away And then my stomach tightens My heart drops, then I start to shake And we pack up and before long we were on our way And I, just keep remember thinking Why the fuck do we gotta keep leaving? Why does everybody wanna fucking hurt us? Someone give me a good reason Then I looked to the left and seen those tears on my mother's face And I thought somewhere inside She was just wishing herself to another place And we ain't have no where to go So they put us in a shelter Seemed like no matter where we looked Nobody could really help us And we ain't have no food Nothing in my stomach for like 30 something nights Never saw it coming, I got perfect fucking sight My mother cried on her knees like every fucking night And nothing really hurts like that You ever feel like dirt like that? Did you ever lose your worth like that? Then you don't know the hurt I got And you don't know the work you got That's what my mom would always say When the devil try to bring you down God would send all these ways How did she have all that faith? I swear I would of given up on it But even after all that pain She was still there, on her knees, calling And I don't really get that I was never fully with that But everytime she called on God He was always quick to get back like
[Hook:] You got it (Yeah) 'Cause pain hurts but it heals too And after all this shit that I've been through I got it (I got it) (Yeah)
[Chorus:] Look what you've done Look what you've done Look what you've done for me (Oooh, yeah yeah) When life's hard, it means something You get through, you gon' be something Yo
