Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on everybody sit down
People wanna act like they are in the know
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
And tell you what's the word around town
I know you don't wanna hear the truth
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
But I just need you to believe
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly
[Verse 2]
Remember back in '02
When I was in school and acting a fool
My soul got saved
My debt had been paid
But still I kept running off with my crew
Sex on my brain and death in my veins
Had a main thang and we stayed up till 2
Smoking
Waking and baking we naked
My body was loving it
Soul was hating it
Time and time after time
Our bodies grew close the girl was so fine
Heard a heart beat that wasn't hers or mine
The miracle of life had started inside
My God
Ignored the warning signs
Suppressed that truth I felt inside
I was just having fun with this
I'm too young for this
I'm thinking me, myself and I
Should I sacrifice this life
To keep my vanity and live nice
And she love and trust me so much
That whatever I say she'll probably oblige
But I was too selfish for my time
Scared my dreams were not gonna survive
So I dropped her off at that clinic
That day a part of us died
[Verse 3]
Come on everybody sit down
People wanna act like they are in the know
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
And tell you what's the word around town
I know you don't wanna hear the truth
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
But I just need you to believe
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly
[Verse 4]
I remember back in the day
I was barely in the first grade
Got teeth missing
Watching Tom & Jerry
Trying to go outside so I can play
I was told to watch out for strangers
Keep my eyes peeled for danger
Folks working late I had a babysitter
I ain't about to sit here and name her
I was almost 8 when she came in late
Woke me up with a game to play
Did a few things that's hard to say
And told me to keep that secret safe
Now how a young boy supposed to deal
I'm trying to act like it ain't real
Had my innocence just stripped from me
And I still don't know how to feel
And I wondering how to address it
Can't tell my family, too messy
So I just embrace it, it's hard to face it
I'm too ashamed to confess it
So I kept it in and ain't speak
Didn't think it hit me so deep
So into it I got promiscuous
And only God could help me get free
But I been forgiven
My Savior risen
I'm out the prison
I know that
I got the power to say no to all of my struggles
God will control that
Every time we slip and we fall
Gotta get back up and fight on
We are not defined by our past
The future look bright
I see the light on
[Verse 5]
Come on everybody sit down
People wanna act like they are in the now
Well I'm here to wipe off your smile
And tell you what's the word around town
I know you don't wanna hear the truth
I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof
But I just need you to believe
I'm talking the good, the bad, the ugly
