Learning

I won't be falling for those same mistakes

Always running back

But you're running another way to pass the breaks

I remember as a kid with my nose running

Girls used to run from me

That was the problem my pockets had no money

My skin was like chocolate

My hair felt like carpet

Family of four livin' in the one room apartment

Why they all shot the target

Salvation not be my shopping spree

The only time with my family

It felt like we won the lottery

My friends commitin' these felonies

Sellin' d**gs robberies

Livin' the government property

But I there was no point like autery

Even though we was stressin' still counted our blessings

Left the life of oppression

To a life of deppression

I went from the tension

Then to gettin' arrested

Mother pray for repentance to learn it from every lesson now we ooon

I won't be fallin' for those same mistakes

Always running backwards and running another way

To pad the breaks

Now my time has come

To follow the sparks until we shine

Close my eyes

And picture the dark we left behind

I'm never looking back oooohh ooohhh

I'm never looking back oooohh ooohhh

Now parden me for my bitterness

Now parden me I'm not dealin' whits

Now stuff I seen I'm not speakin' of

Just to stop I'm not pitchen rest

But still I kept the brush in my fingers

Stop don't crush what I'm dreamin' of

At night I was speakin' of
