It took a tragedy for me to see, for me to come back to reality

It took my family, sanity

This wasn't part of the plan for me

People talked about me, went on without me

As if I had never existed

I guess a blessing taught me a lesson

I'll remember as long as I'm living

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down

I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down

As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now

I did it to myself, blamed nobody else

People warned me before it went down

I was out of control, drugs and alcohol, living lyfe like there was no tomorrow

And I'm not no superstar, times are super hard

I'm still finding my way dad to day

And I'm a man of my mind, I apologize, no one's perfect we all make mistakes

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down

I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down

As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now

Spent a lot of time upset, lot of things I regret

Damn it's so hard to let it go it go

They say that this gonna pass, I know but I'm still mad

It just all happen so fast, fo sho fo sho

Mommy say lyfe is prayer, daddy say lyfe ain't fair

But at least lyfe still here, ya know ya know

If I could take it back I would, if you could take it back you should

Bad times come with the good, hold on hold on

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down

I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down

As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now
