From Scratch Songtext

von Mase

Ma$e:
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(Yo)what would you(Yo) keep?

Loon:
If I could go back
I wouldn't have sold no crack
Would have never put my hands around no gat
But you know Loon being all hard headed
And don't listen even if God said it
I didn't have to stick with folks to sniff no coke
I didn't have to fix the block when shit was broke
Same cats I helped was twist and smoked
Now imagine if I had went to school
Went to class
Instead of being a young cat sent to blast
Sent to slash criminals necks in half
For playing dumb when I come to collect my cash
Because of that cats will respect my past

Shyne:
If I could start from scratch
I'd sign to Def Jam
Knaw...fuck am I saying?
Puff's the best man
Plus I'm a bad boy more like a bad man
Put more niggas in pits than brad man
Can't dodge bullets too bad man
Shouldn't have copped the five instead of the six
That way wouldn't have crashed and killed my cousin
Keep quiet instead of having the industry buzzing
Do it devil's advocate style
Don't let them see you coming
Use the revolver when busting and slugging
That way no evidence
But fuck it got money
To beat trial
Worse come to worse
Who God bless
No man curse
Hating niggas laying in dirt

Chorus: Ma$e
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 you life from scratch[What? What?]
Rewind time and still go back[About to kill them]
Hat would ou change in the way that you live today
And what would you leave right where it's at?

Meeno:
Yo,(C'mon,c'mon)
If I could start my 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 can find a gun
But if my prints ain't on that thing
What is you saying
And on the same block that I get my glocks from
You see the same cop that get popped with the shot gun{Mysonne}
And at the same bodega I got my tops from{Mysonne}
I give the same old money
To the same cop sfrom

Mysonne:
If I could start from scratch
I'd bring daddy back
And put five in the first cat that shoot mommy crack
I sit back and listen to the drunks on the block
Trying to school me with jewels telling me who to watch
I killed five people,I let survive
The five I took away,I'd a left alive
If I could do all it again
I'd bring Virg back
Or I'd 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,to catch a charge
And I'd do it all again if I had to
Pitch new in the whip
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 change that
I'm a problem

Chorus: Ma$e
Yo..if you could start your life from scratch{Ohh}
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?{Double Up}
If you could start you life from scratch{Bad Boy[
Rewind time{BadBoy}and still go back{Yo I really don't know what's going}
What would you change in the way that you{Tellin you}live today
And{I really really}what would you{Don't know}leave right where{What's going on}it's at?

Ma$e:
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 a lot
Wish I wore three rubbers case the first rubber popped
But you can't cry now
Milk already spilled
I had eleven friends and ten already killed
Went down south and I ain't feel the guilt
They ain't ready for war but that ain't the way they built
And for all the nights and all the fights
That I had for all this money over all these dykes
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 lime light of the superstardom
Whoever thought there'd be a problem coming through Harlem
Can't even chill with cats trying to make me a villian
Cats that I groove with I gotta contemplate killing
No body love me on 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 told me then
Though I'm the youngest
I'm a grow to to be the oldest man
And cats thinkin' they goin win
Cuz they better rim's
Ain't about age in
Saved men
With the most cheddar win
How you live right?
Every day gettin business in
How you say no at the door screaming let me in
From the outside looking it's better than it ever been
To tell the truth when I was broke it looked better then
All Out
153rd street

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