Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Naw, naw, naw, that's, that's part of the—, that's—
Yeah! I got you good that time, shawty
[Verse 2]
Start over
Again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over
Again
Everything happens for a reason
[Verse 3]
Ain't it funny how you're born and then your life begins?
Just like a baby, all alone, that's if you wasn't a twin
You must begin to fend for self when the umbilical's cut
The doctor put you under the heating lamp, your spirit is touched
You know what? I take that back, you was alive (Why?)
Date of conception, interception, 'cause the sperm did collide from
T 'n' A to DNA, feelings turn to chil'en's
The morning-after pill didn't put a halt to our very existence
We living, breathing, soon, we'll be teethin'
Our granny got a gold, and now, we want one for that reason
An adolescent mind is so impressionable in those stages, but
Parents got to parent their kids to keep them out of cages
Cell therapists, beware of this loogie that I spit
Incarceration without rehabilitation really don't mean shit
Lil' Ricky home, he gotta serve probation for six months, but
Uncle Darnell and Ol' Dirty Bastard still in the joint
Reset
[Chorus]
Start over
Again
Uh, that's right, that's right
Uh, that's right, that's right
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Uh-huh, blood thicker than water, uh-huh, c'mon, c'mon, ah
Start over
Again
We gots to do it all over again
Uh, uh-huh, Cotton Club Goodie
Cotton Club Goodie!
Everything happens for a reason
[Verse 4]
Good doesn't come without pain
Meaning, before it get better, it's gon' get worse
Like my homies on the sick side, still dying over turf
That don't belong to urse, I mean, "us", left in the dust
Try to catch up with Massah
I used to wanna wrap my hands around the esophagus of them crackers
But Ephesians 6:12 said it wasn't flesh and blood that we wrestle against
Principalities, powers of this world
Rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places
So throw on the whole armor of righteousness
I spark this thing, but my name ain't "Bubba"
I got problems with racist cab drivers, like Glover
And brothers that wax fat
And forget all about the struggle
Uh, yeah, come on, come on
Guess what, guess what? Time to reset this thang
[Chorus]
Start over
Again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over
Again
Everything happens for a reason
[Verse 5]
Listen to me
I awaken to sunlight
That's beyond bright, this day will be done right
There is a war just waiting on the other side of the door
But I'll be bringing God to the gunfight
Can't live forever, so have some fun, right?
Life's a bowl of candy, you can have one, right?
You can handle if tomorrow never come, right?
You get used to singing, if only for one night
But I intend to raise two daughters and a son, right?
And I couldn't've wrote this if I was hopeless
And see, I focus to provoke this
So open wide for my opinionated opus
Like playing Gold Fish, but not below this
Before I go, I thought that you all should know this
Recognize and realize before any regretting
Before you relapse, perhaps you'll consider resetting
Hmm?
[Outro]
Start over
Again
Everything happens for a reason
