My beginnings 
Were a lesson learned
Adding up my years, I was just 19

At this tender age
My brain clicked on
Who are you to point and who are you to judge me?

I wasn't perfect but I knew wrong from right
Maybe I partied just a little too long sometimes
But I pulled together and I did alright

I been ripped out
And washed up on a highway
I learned from what went down
Who's there from the right things
Now I'm, now I'm strong
With a nineteen turning point
Nineteen turning point
A turning point at nineteen
A nineteen turning point

MK firing
Many rounds
That's what I was like, if you knew me

But I did okay
Maybe bruised and scared
But I somehow knew it was just the beginning

If I turned the tables you would know what it's like
No sheltered baby I was a little out there sometimes
But I pulled together and I did alright

I been ripped out
And washed up on a highway
I learned from what went down
Who's there from the right things
Now I'm, now I'm strong
With a nineteen turning point
Nineteen turning point
A turning point at nineteen
A nineteen turning point

Nineteen revolution in the air
As long as I can live with what I did
Oh, some people have a turning turning at 17, 20 to 25
As long as it keeps their dreams alive

I been ripped out
And washed up on a highway
I learned from what went down
Who's there from the right things
Now I'm, now I'm strong
With a nineteen turning point
Nineteen turning point
A turning point at nineteen
A nineteen turning point

A nineteen turning point...

And I learned from what went down
Yeah, nineteen
