Learn From My Mistakes (feat. David Jassey & Le Joe)

Learn from my mistakes before you end up here

Life behind these gates, doing years and years and years, learn

Mama lost her son to a gambler

Thugged out, got me feeling like the man though

It is what it is, what I am though

Never asked a soul for a hand out

Sold crack to the task force

Surviving on my own, didn't ask for it

Just do it like Air Force 1

Like cancer, no cure for it

Vandalized, got a year for it

Wrong choice, now I'm here for it

Sixteen, got years on it

Made it out the hood 'cause I'm here, homie

By the iron, by the iron you get killed

I lost a scholarship for a drill

Forgot to spread the fakes from the real

Shoulda took six for the deal

Learn from my mistakes before you end up here

Life behind these gates, doing years and years and years, learn

Learn from my mistakes before you end up here

Life behind these gates, doing years and years and years, learn

Married to the money, it was mando

Itching for some healing, need it pronto

Vision getting blurry, eyes wide though

Won't get me far, but in the pen or the ground though

Couldn't slow down 'cause life short

Wish I could have paid my mind more

Instead I was hurting my moms

Committing these crimes, committing these crimes more

Wish I could have done right 'fore I lost my granny though

Now I'm feeling pain 'cause I did her wrong

I shoulda changed then, now it's later on

Got goons telling stories 'bout me over phones

(Baby, he was shooting, this ain't what he asked for)

Learn from my mistakes

Live your life, expand your mind more

Learn from my mistakes before you end up here

Life behind these gates, doing years and years and years, learn

Learn from my mistakes before you end up here

Life behind these gates, doing years and years and years, learn
