Writing My Wrongs

Whether you can't forget or it's not that big of a deal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
Whether the issue's dead and you're trying to find a way to heal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)

This is for every single person I hurt
Whether it was unplanned or on purpose
If I didn't own up, I'm worthless
This is for any girl I raised my hand to
Before I realized that ain't what a man do
Thanks to my big bro, y'all know this manhood
Ish don't come with a manual
All the record stores that I stole from
When I was flat broke and so young
So I really can't blame y'all when
Y'all find my album and download 'em
Any of my brothers I stole on
Should've turned the other cheek and rolled on
But I missed their cries, but self hate
I can now say I was so wrong

Whether you can't forget or it's not that big of a deal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
Whether the issue's dead and you're trying to find a way to heal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)

Reminisce on my younger days
Had hunger pains on those summer days
Every man for himself like Hunger Games
From a city where we don't see the sun for days
Mama had one daughter, three sons to raise
I was gone for days, like runaways
With a blunt to blaze
Drugs I could slang to get money made
Couple mistakes and it's judgement day
Got cuffed up, but I lucked up that the cop put the gun away
Looking back now, well it must be fate
Set me free when he judged my case
Could've been in the pen or could've been killed
I could never right my wrongs 'less I write it down for real

Whether you can't forget or it's not that big of a deal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
Whether the issue's dead and you're trying to find a way to heal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)

This for the times I was dishonest
Every single broken promise
Treating you beneath the "you"
You are what you should be regarded as God is
For my student they laid to rest
Many days I wept, from the pain your death had caused
Missed your requiem, overseas blessing 'em
May the most high protect your soul
From the family functions I missed
Missing your dap, hug, or your kiss
Hope you don't feel dissed, but you know the real is
Pretty safe bet I was doing this
Even though I be ripping and running
For trying to be something, I know you exist
I know you don't see it, but call if you need it
Don't wait 'til you're out of your wits
And for you haters, sorry that we made it
On our own terms, not the ones they making, so
Minor or major, don't matter, they're paying
As long as we're not the ones playing, ho
Chasing our dreams and we made it, so
Though we can't be found on the radio
But the realists know where the real is
That's real ish, most people just lazy, yo
Sorry we're not more accommodating
Y'all worried about who the stars are dating
Times are wasting our apologies
This bullshit's dominating
So we're concentrating on innovation, not nominations
For the small congregation
Let's spread our gospel to the population

Whether you can't forget or it's not that big of a deal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
Whether the issue's dead and you're trying to find a way to heal
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
So I swear, for real, it's my bad
I could (never right my wrongs, unless I write it down for real)
