From Scratch Lyrics

From Scratch lyrics

featuring Harlem World Mysonne Shyne Harlem World

[Mase]
Yo just think
if you could rewind time
And start your life all over again
What would you
give and what would you keep?
You heard me what would you
keep?

[Loon]
Yo yo if I could go back I wouldn'ta sold no
crack
Wouldn'ta never put my hands around no gat
But you know Loon bein'
all hard headed
And don't listen even if God said it
I didn't have to
stick with folks that sniff no coke
I didn't have to fix the block when shit
was broke
Same cats I helped was twistin' smoke
Now imagine if I went to
school, went to class
'Stead of bein' a young cat sent to blast
Sent to
slash criminal's necks in half
For playin' dumb when I come to collect my
cash
And cuz of that cats will respect my past, I ain't
playin'

[Shyne]
If I start from scratch I'd sign with Def Jam
Nah,
fuck am I saying? Puff's the best man
Plus I'mma Bad Boy, I'm more like a bad
man
Put mo' nigga's in pits than Brad, man
Can't dodge bullets? Too bad,
man
Shit, I'd a copped the five instead of the six
That way wouldn't of
crashed and killed my cousin
Keep quiet instead of having the industry
buzzin'
Do a devil's advocate style, don't let 'em see you comin'
Use the
revolver when bustin' and sluggin'
That way no evidence
But fuck it, got
money to be tried, worse come to worse
Who God bless, no man curse, hatin'
niggas, lay in the dirt

[Mase & Meeno]
Yo, if you could start your
life from scratch (What? What?)
Rewind time and still go back (It's time to
eat)
What would you change in the way that you live today
And what would
you leave right where it's at?

If you could start your life from scratch
(What? What?)
Rewind time and still go back (About to kill it)
What would
you change in the way that you live today
And what would you leave right
where it's at?
Come on, come on

[Meeno]
Yo, if I could start life
from scratch, I wouldn't change shit
Same gun, same clip, same dumb
bitch
All Out, Harlem World, same old clique
Same old studio, same old
shit
Shit don't change just because a cop took six to the brain
Meeno got
a lawyer, man I'm hip to the game
You could find a gun, but if my prints
ain't on that thing
What is you sayin'?
And on the same block that I get
my glocks from
You see the same cop that get popped with the shot
gun
(Mysonne: Mysonne)
And at the same bodega I got my tops
from
(Mysonne: Mysonne)
I give the same old money to the same cop's
bum

[Mysonne]
If I could start from scratch, I'd bring daddy
back
And put five in the first cat that show mami crack
I sit back and
listen to them drunks on the block
Tryin' to school me with jewels, tellin'
me who to watch
I killed five people, I'd let survive
And the five I took
away, I'd a left alive
If I could do all it again I'd bring Virg' back
Or
I switch places with him, I hope you heard that
I would have prefered that,
I ain't have to starve
Pitch crack, have to rob and catch a charge
And
I'd do it all again if I had to
Pitch no-win to win, and I'd be glad
to
And I'd hit every target I took aim at
But I'd still be a problem, you
can't change that
I'm a problem

[Mase]
Yo, if you could start your
life from scratch (Uh)
Rewind time and still go back (All Out)
What would
you change in the way that you live today
And what would you leave right
where it's at? (And Double Up)

If you could start your life from scratch
(Bad Boy, Bad Boy)
Rewind time and still go back
(Yo, I really don't know
what's goin' on)
What would you change in the way that you live
today
(I'm tellin' ya, I really don't know what's goin' on)
And what
would you leave right where it's at?
Come on, come on

[Mase]
Yo,
cuz half the cats that flip, we all was cool
And half the chicks I hit, they
teased me in school
I got a baby by a lady I don't even love alot
Wish I
wore three rubbers 'case the first rubber popped
But you can't cry now, milk
already spilt
I had eleven friends and ten already killed
Went down south
and I ain't feel the guilt
And I ain't ready to war but that ain't the way
built
And for all the nights and all the fights
That I had for all this
money over all these dice
All my cars and homes and all my ice
If I could
do it all again, I'd do it all for Christ
Whoever thought the limelight or
the super-stardom
Whoever thought there'd be a problem comin' through
Harlem
Can't even chill, cats wanna make me a villian
Cats that I grew up
with I gotta contemplate killin'
Nobody love me, I'm my own mister, and on my
own, mister
Mama did what she could but now I'm grown, mister
Though she
told me once, wish she'd told me then
Though I'm the youngest, I'mma grow to
be the oldest man
And cats thinkin' they gon' win cuz they veterans
Ain't
about age at this stage, man with the most cheddar win
How you live right?
Every day get in bigger sin
How you say no at the door screamin' "Let me
in"?
From the outside it's lookin' gooder than it ever been
But tell the
truth, when I was broke it was better then
All Out, 33rd
street

[Mase]
Yo, if you could start your life from scratch
Rewind
time and still go back
What would you change in the way that you live
today
And what would you leave right where it's at?

If you could
start your life from scratch
Rewind time and still go back
What would you
change in the way that you live today
And what would you leave right where
it's at?
Come on, come on
