Wish I Knew
Man I wish I
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
I wish I could go back and re-align my focus
Couple years ago I was really at my lowest
But I hid it well so you probably didn't notice
Acting like I'm strong
But inside I was broken
Went and caught that nigga lacking
But I'm glad that I ain't blow it
Had to think about my future
Got too caught up in the moment
I was used to running from my fears
But in the last few years
I learned you ain't a real man until you own it
I don't talk bout violence in my music
Cause its shit that I'm not doing
And it's power in the words that you promoting
But I know this world is filled with envy
It can escalate quickly
And for that I always keep one loaded
You ain't seen what I seen
You ain't felt what I felt
But you tryna tell me how to play the cards
That I was dealt
Have a little faith if you don't do nothing else
Words of encouragement to my younger self
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
Won't forget the day I graduated
Went and got that cap and gown
I did everything they told me that would bring me success
But to the world was just a nigga
Nothing more, nothing less
Student loan emails reminding me I'm in debt
Working at the footlocker tryna save up my checks
Thought if I moved a couple packs it would take care of the rest
But then I turned on the news
And I saw someone I knew
Words at the bottom of the screen
Said he got shot in his neck
Transaction went left, and they left him there wet
I gotta get up outta here dawg cause I could be next
When you blessed, sometimes God gives you a test
And lord know I ain't perfect, but I'm trying my best
I gotta pray
Try my best to stay up out the way
And no matter what they say
You know I gotta stay strong
Know I gotta come home
Live to fit another day
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
Man I wish I knew
A little faith will get you through
Never let a setback shake you out your move
When your back against the wall
And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
I wish I could go back and re-align my focus
Couple years ago I was really at my lowest

And they all want you to lose
Have a little faith and see it through
