Hind Sight

Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
And try to save my life from pain
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
And try to save my life from pain

In hindsight of child
Wit a plan to be great
But never knew that the path that he chose
Would be a mistake
Wish I could go back and tell him better
But now it's too late
All of them hours outside
Taking jump shots in the rain
14 years old dunking
A young Lebron James
By the time I was 17 I was flying wit planes
I graduated high school
Not one scholarship came
Got to college and started playing a little baseball
Felt like the scouting coach hated me didn't like me at all
Made me practice alone and not wit the kids he recruited
I was determined to make it though deep inside I felt stupid
Like I wasting my time
That next year I gave'em my resignation letter to sign
Told'em fuck it and quit
And never looked back since
But still I sit sometimes and think about them days like what if
I guess I had to repent

Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
And try to save my life from pain
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
And try to save my life from pain

And aunt Jo
I miss you dearly
Hope to God you me
I wish you were here wit me
Just one more time
Come place your hands on my head and just kiss me
I wish I listened more. I took your life for granite
You opened me up to the world and took me round the planet
Just wanna let you know that life is tough.
But I'm trying a buncha different stuff
I finally opened up
I read more and my conscience is better
But I'm lost in the world now
Need you now more than ever
Cuz nobody could hold it down way you held it together
You even planned your funeral
I mean down to the letter
I remember you took the city to trial for discrimination
And won the lawsuit yourself without legal representation
Man that's more than amazing
I pull your name up in my contacts from time on occasion
I regret the fact I was distant
And wish that some things were different
And think of you every time I see one of those pink ribbons

Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
And try to save my life from pain
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
And try to save my life from pain

In hindsight of child
That was blinded by life
Who fell in love with a girl
That was unfaithful and trife
So I had no respect for the ones I cut every night
And more than plenty had niggas
A couple of them were wives
I never found it a problem to be the dude on the side
But now I'm scarred by the things that should have never endured
I'm more than sure that's the reason right now that I'm insecure
Like why was she laying next me on the phone wit her nigga
Wit my finger inside her while I keep pulling the trigger
Or why she tricking in back of the Crown Vick
Or her baby sleep right beside us while she's suckin my
And now I'm in a relationship wit a shorty
That tell me how much she got me.
And swear to God that she for me
But fell to open up to me completely
And got me thinking like
What if she lying to me
And theres more to them secrets

Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore.
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs and rearrange and.
Try to save my life from pain
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish that I can go back
And change up thangs
And rearrange
