Rewrite History

Yeah, O-C-O-E-E
Ay, 2000 EST
Let's go, yeah, uh (uh-huh)

We 'bout to rewrite the family history
We goin' up like the Statue of Liberty
Uh, yeah, uh-huh, ay
We 'bout to rewrite the family history
We goin' up like the Statue of Liberty

We 'bout to rewrite the wrongs
Father, forgive 'em, 'cause they didn't know what they did (sure they did)
They was just tryin' to live
They was just tryin' to provide for their kids (their kids)
Enemy thought that the drama I got in my life
That I wouldn't forgive (forgive)
But hatin' on folks is like drinkin' a poison
And wishin' they die in the end (the end)

But really, you killin' yourself (you is)
But really, you hurtin' your wealth (for real)
I'd rather go buy me a new deck of cards
Stress 'bout the hand I was dealt
I learned if you really wanna see change?
You gotta go do it yourself (go)
I'd rather go play in the game
Than sit on the side like everyone else (I can't)

It's so many secrets, it's so many lies
I could've just blamed 'em all (huh)
It's so many times I tried to hide
I should've just made the call (the call)

Soon as you think that you standin' on pride?
That's when you prone to fall (fall)
Soon as you think you untouchable?
Trust me, life gon' humble us all (for real)
Soon as you think it's a touchdown?
Trust me, that's when you fumble the ball (the ball)
We not just followin' God for outcomes
We just be trustin' it all (it all)
That's why I told 'em (I told 'em)

We 'bout to rewrite the family history
We goin' up like the Statue of Liberty
Uh, yeah, ay
We 'bout to rewrite the family history
We goin' up like the Statue of Liberty

We 'bout to rewrite the wrongs
Father, forgive 'em, 'cause they didn't know what they did
They was just tryin' to live
They was just tryin' to provide for their kids (they was)
Enemy thought that the drama I got in my life
That I wouldn't forgive
But hatin' on folks is like drinkin' a poison
And wishin' they die in the end

Whether we win, or whether we lose
We still gon' stand ten toes (ten toes)
You could be standin' on Everest, high
And still gon' have some lows (some lows)
You could have all you want in life
And one day, it's gon' go (it's gone)
You ain't see what happened to Job? (Huh?)
I pray, it don't go that low (I pray)

I'ma still praise my God
Even if nobody pull up to my show
'Cause back then I was rappin' for show
I was quick to let all that go (it's gone)
I was building up habits for years
I ain't gon' lie, that change was slow (too slow)
Get back 'fore it get good
But once you up, you up for sure
We up
That's why I told 'em (I thought I told ya)

We 'bout to rewrite the family history
We goin' up like the Statue of Liberty
Uh, yeah, ay
We 'bout to rewrite the family history
We goin' up like the Statue of Liberty (oh)

We 'bout to rewrite the wrongs
Father, forgive 'em, 'cause they didn't know what they did
They was just tryin' to live
They was just tryin' to provide for their kids (their kids)

But really, you hurtin' your wealth (for real)

Stress 'bout the hand I was dealt
I learned if you really wanna see change?
You gotta go do it yourself (I will)
I'd rather go play in the game
Than sit on the side like everyone else (I'm gone)
