For a Reason

[00:07.29] Yo, yo, yo, yo...
[00:14.44] Lookin' back on the things I've done
[00:17.71] Everything happens for a reason
[00:20.17] Life is somethin' you learn from
[00:23.32] Everything happens for a reason
[00:24.52] I gotta make a confession, there's nothin' I'm regretting
[00:27.04] Life's a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weapon
[00:29.96] So don't make me
[00:31.47] Life is something you learn from
[00:34.59] Everything happens for a reason
[00:35.78] It's Joey B, you know me B
[00:38.63] It's the nigga that would tryin' get the blow on GP
[00:41.22] It's the nigga in the hood on the low G3
[00:44.08] It's the nigga some niggas want so does he please
[00:46.78] Is it 'cause he make the flow look so easy
[00:49.50] Or do he sit and count up all the dough that he see
[00:52.30] Or do they wanna prove they OG and use me
[00:54.96] To get the guns out, sending him to ODB
[00:57.93] But what I ever did to a nigga? Aside give to a nigga
[01:01.46] Try to show the big pic to a nigga
[01:03.42] But I can't conclude how some niggas conclude
[01:06.05] That the world is too small for them to live with a nigga
[01:08.95] I don't regret dude trying me, dude keeping that eye on me
[01:11.98] Then they gotta live with this thing called irony
[01:14.77] And if I gotta live with the idea reminding me
[01:17.56] Then they can't live when the iron's on me, yeah
[01:20.87] Lookin' back on the things I've done
[01:24.46] Everything happens for a reason
[01:26.52] Life is somethin' you learn from
[01:30.01] Everything happens for a reason
[01:30.85] I gotta make a confession, there's nothin' I'm regretting
[01:33.64] Life's a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weapon
[01:36.28] So don't make me
[01:37.45] Life is something you learn from
[01:41.09] Everything happens for a reason
[01:42.82] Things just ain't the same for gangstas
[01:44.78] And so I bear my soul, my pain, my anger
[01:47.83] I beg to the Lord, keep me far from mo' danger
[01:50.38] Look I know 'em but can't see 'em, he's a popular stranger
[01:53.35] If I never got stabbed, wouldn't remember Veronica's wrath
[01:56.63] Standing in the shower looking at the scab
[01:59.07] I wouldn't know the hints of a stick-up kid
[02:01.37] If I ain't have that short stint as a stick-up kid
[02:03.85] If dude never tried to kill me, I mighta went numb
[02:06.86] To all the bullshit that goes on where I'm from
[02:09.56] And if I never went to jail, wouldn't needed a bail
[02:12.16] Woulda probly went on to graduate from Yale
[02:15.26] Woulda been a prosecutor standing in the court of law
[02:17.72] But then that goes against everything he stands for
[02:20.79] And if I never met Glo, how would I really know
[02:23.33] All the shit that comes with, when you dealing with a ho
[02:26.55] See it is what it is to be
[02:28.34] Or it is what it is, at least that's what it is to me
[02:31.88] And so if I could ever go back in history
[02:34.53] I wouldn't change shit, I'd leave it all just to be
[02:37.22] And if my first album woulda did five when it dropped
[02:40.04] I'd be chillin', instead of tryna rise to the top
[02:42.90] If I could reverse the roles, would I reverse the roles?
[02:45.98] Would it be worth it to try to reverse the tolls?
[02:49.37] Lookin' back on the things I've done
[02:52.92] Everything happens for a reason
[02:55.03] Life is somethin' you learn from

[03:13.52] Let's me know I can't stand however it is I feel

[03:19.08] Got a sister named Karma, I be tryna avoid 'er
[03:21.79] Got a ex that's bitter, wants me to be her nigga
[03:24.50] Hates my girl Self-Pity 'cause I'm always with her
[03:27.03] But bitter's beef is valid, she don't like shorty 'cause she use me
[03:30.76] One time she seen 'er verbally abuse me
[03:32.76] Got a friend that's passive, friends call him Passive
[03:35.79] He just says whatever, hoping that shit passes
[03:38.42] My Uncle Hindsight wears real thick glasses
[03:41.08] Reminds me of where I been and how shit gets drastic
[03:43.68] Got a aunt named Humility, she speaks low, mumbles
[03:46.66] Don't care that I'm a rapper, she keeps me so humble
[03:49.63] In my head I'll debate it, out loud I'll never say it
[03:52.33] I'm pretty sure it's a good reason we all related
