Oh Man I Wish I Knew
I Wish I Knew It Then
But That Won′t Let It Stop Me
You Know I'll Be Back Again
All The Mistakes I Made
Troubles That I Been In
It Shaped Me Into The Person You See Standing Here
I Wish You Knew Me
Back When I Was Young
You Can′t See Me
Just How Far I Come
So Don't Judge Me
You Don't Know Me
Please, Ohh Yeahh Believe Me

Up To 3rd Grade It Was All A′s
Forth And 5th Grade Was The Hard Days
Detention And Suspension Was A Always
By The Time I Made It To High School It Was The Hall Ways
Yeah That Was Them Wish I Had A Car Days
It Was All Pay
And We Were All Broke That′s When The Law Broke
Cop Catch Us We Don't Say A Word Like Our Jaw Broke
Picture Me Back Then Look At Me Right Now
Before I′m 20 The 20 Thousand...
I Caught A Couple Cases I Had To Pipe Down
Living In The Dark I'm In The Light Now
You Grind Hard Then You Shine Harder
I′m Goin Hard Like My Last Name's Carter
Dwayne, Shawn... We Play My Life And I′ll Be Born Again

Oh Man I Wish I Knew
I Wish I Knew It Then
But That Won't Let It Stop Me
You Know I'll Be Back Again
All The Mistakes I Made
Troubles That I Been In

You Can′t See Me
Just How Far I Come

Please, Ohh Yeahh Believe Me

You Don′t Have To Listen To Me
You Don't Have To Believe A Single Word I Say
No. That′s What My Mother Told Me
Still I Run Out At Learned Everything The Hard Way
I Been Crying No No
I Been Crying No No
Oh Yeah She Told Me To Grow Up I Grew Up
I Stood Up And Each Day I Move Up Again
Got A Minute To Say What I Want
I'm Trying To Make Up For Everything
That I Might Have Done Wrong
But That Made Me How I Am
And If I Broke Your Heart
Well I Am Sorry Again

Oh Man I Wish I Knew
I Wish I Knew It Then
But That Won′t Let It Stop Me
You Know I'll Be Back Again
All The Mistakes I Made
Troubles That I Been In
It Shaped Me Into The Person You See Standing Here
I Wish You Knew Me
Back When I Was Young
You Can't See Me
Just How Far I Come
So Don′t Judge Me
You Don′t Know Me

Thinking Back When I Was In A Trap
Without A Dollar To My Name I Wouldn't Think Of Rap
Niggas Said I Changed Asked What I Think Of That
Say Change For The Better I′m Never Thinking Back
Now I Should Be A Power Forward
Shittin So Much I Think My Toilet Out Of Order
Take Em Out The Box They Like A Fish Up Out The Water
Well Me I'm A Survive
I Put That On My Mom
Swear To God
How You Gone When You Never Try
I Can See No Future Like I Am Living A Miraj
Every Day I Am Living Life Like I Could Never Die
Old Clothes In My Closet New Cars In My Garage
New Chick In The Bedroom Old Chick By My Side
New Watch On My Wrist Saying This Is My Time So
Don′t Judge Me Just Love Me
There Is Nothing Above Me
My Future So Pretty
Say God Don't Like Ugly They Lyin

Oh Man I Wish I Knew
I Wish I Knew It Then
But That Won′t Let It Stop Me
You Know I'll Be Back Again
All The Mistakes I Made
Troubles That I Been In
It Shaped Me Into The Person You See Standing Here
I Wish You Knew Me
Back When I Was Young
You Can't See Me
Just How Far I Come
So Don′t Judge Me
You Don′t Know Me
Please, Ohh Yeahh Believe Me
