Mase - From Scratch lyrics

Your rating:

[Mase]
 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 wouldn'ta sold no crack
 Wouldn'ta never put my hands around no gat
 But you know Loon  bein' all hard headed
 And don't listen  even if God said it
 I didn't have to stick with folks that sniff no coke
 I didn't have to fix the block when shit was broke
 Same cats I helped was twistin' smoke
 Now imagine if I went to school, went to class
 'Stead of bein' a young cat sent to blast
 Sent to slash criminal's necks in half
 For playin' dumb when I come to collect my cash
 And cuz of that cats will respect my past, I ain't playin'

 [Shyne]
 If I start from scratch I'd sign with Def Jam
 Nah, fuck am I saying? Puff's the best man
 Plus I'mma Bad Boy, I'm more like a bad man
 Put mo' nigga's in pits than Brad, man
 Can't dodge bullets? Too bad, man
 Shit, I'd a copped the five instead of the six
 That way wouldn't of crashed and killed my cousin
 Keep quiet instead of having the industry buzzin'
 Do a devil's advocate style, don't let 'em see you comin'
 Use the revolver when bustin' and sluggin'
 That way no evidence
 But fuck it, got money to be tried, worse come to worse
 Who God bless, no man curse, hatin' niggas, lay in the dirt

 [Mase & Meeno]
 Yo, if you could start your life from scratch (What? What?)
 Rewind time and still go back (It's time to eat)
 What would you change in the way that you live today
 And what would you leave right where it'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 it's at?
 Come on, come on

 [Meeno]
 Yo, if I could start life from scratch, I wouldn't change shit
 Same gun, same clip, same dumb bitch
 All Out, Harlem World, same old clique
 Same old studio, same old shit
 Shit don't change just because a cop took six to the brain
 Meeno got a lawyer, man I'm hip to the game
 You could find a gun, but if my prints ain't on that thing
 What is you sayin'?
 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 cop's bum

 [Mysonne]
 If I could start from scratch, I'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
 Tryin' to school me with jewels, tellin' me who to watch
 I killed five people, I'd let survive
 And the five I took away, I'd a left alive
 If I could do all it again I'd bring Virg' back
 Or I switch places with him, I hope you heard that
 I would have prefered that, I ain't have to starve
 Pitch crack, have to rob and catch a charge
 And I'd do it all again if I had to
 Pitch no-win to win, and I'd be glad to
 And I'd hit every target I took aim at
 But I'd still be a problem, you can't change that
 I'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 it'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 don't know what's goin' on)
 What would you change in the way that you live today
 (I'm tellin' ya, I really don't know what's goin' on)
 And what would you leave right where it'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 don't even love alot
 Wish I wore three rubbers 'case the first rubber popped
 But you can't cry now, milk already spilt
 I had eleven friends and ten already killed
 Went down south and I ain't feel the guilt
 And I ain't ready to war but that ain'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, I'd do it all for Christ
 Whoever thought the limelight or the super-stardom
 Whoever thought there'd be a problem comin' through Harlem
 Can't even chill, cats wanna make me a villian
 Cats that I grew up with I gotta contemplate killin'
 Nobody love me, I'm my own mister, and on my own, mister
 Mama did what she could but now I'm grown, mister
 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
 Ain'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 screamin' "Let me in"?
 From the outside it's lookin' gooder than it ever been
 But tell the truth, when I was broke it was better then
 All Out, 33rd street

 [Mase]
 Yo, if you could start your life from scratch
 Rewind time and still go back
 What would you change in the way that you live today
 And what would you leave right where it's at?

 If you could start your life from scratch
 Rewind time and still go back
 What would you change in the way that you live today
 And what would you leave right where it's at?
 Come on, come on
