Been to hell and back, many times

I ain't never walked no line

I've never been no kinda saint, but I promise you I'm one of a kind

I been handcuffed, faced in the dirt

I been dressed up, ready for church

I've been betrayed, my heart is been broken

And I broke some hearts and I ripped em open

I'm just a man. I made mistakes

Never settled down, living place to place

I been ashamed and I've been proud

I can laugh about it or break down

Never been too good at love, never had a love that would love me back

No one around when I needed help

I was lost in hell and way off track

I been sick and tired, I've cried the blues

I heard people sayin that I'm bad news

And that's half the truth

But, you only gonna see the half of me that's meant for you

I've chased dreams, I've wasted time

I've hurried up, just to wait in line

But, I've paid my dues, I can't wait for mine

I gotta legacy to leave behind

No matter what you think of me

Just keep it real and don't be fake with me

Dont talk that trash unless you're facing me

And if you think I'll fail

Just wait and see

'Cause I've seen it all and I'm not afraid

The blood, the sweat and too much pain

I've lost it all and got it all to gain

So, I'm on my way, thank God I've changed

Everybody changes, good or bad

But it's up to you, what path you choose

When your backs up against that wall again

And you feel like everything's just fallin' in

Everything changes, better or worse

It could be hell or heaven on Earth, like fairytales

But, the real truth hurts

You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes, good or bad

But it's up to you, what path you choose

When your backs up against that wall again

And you feel like everything's just fallin' in

'Cause everything changes, better or worse

It could be hell or heaven on Earth, like fairytales

But, the real truth hurts

You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes and everything changes

The real truth hurts

You only get what you deserve

'Cause everybody changes and everything changes

The real truth hurts and you only get what you deserve

Never switched up, Never sold out

For this music game, I poured my soul out

Heartbreak and pains all I know about

I need happiness, I'm gettin' older now

My momma needs a better house

And my little brother he's with her too

So, I've gotta get my feet on the ground

Gotta do this here with nothing to lose

My kids have seen me struggle at times

But, I did good a couple of times

Look how far I've came with a troublesome mind

When I could failed and came crumbling down

I've did dirt, I've been kicked in it

Built a house of pain and I lived in it

Been badmouthed and talked down on

So, it feels good to put a smile on

And I promise that I'll never go back

To that place that I lived in the past

To the person that I used to be

'Cause I'm finally free at last

So, if I never make it in music

Just know that I made it in life

And that's more than I could ever ask for

And I think I'm doin' alright

No matter what you think of m

Just keep it real and don't be fake with me

Don't talk that trash unless you're facing me

And if you think I'll fail, just wait and see

'Cause I've seen it all and I'm not afraid

The blood, the sweat and too much pain

I've lost it all and got it all to gain

So, I'm on my way, thank God I've changed

Everybody changes, good or bad

But it's up to you, what path you choose

When your backs up against that wall again

And you feel like everything's just fallin' in

'Cause everything changes, better or worse

It could be hell or heaven on Earth, like fairytales

But, the real truth hurts

You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes, good or bad

But it's up to you, what path you choose

When your backs up against that wall again

And you feel like everything's just fallin' in

'Cause everything changes, better or worse

It could be hell or heaven on Earth, like fairytales

But, the real truth hurts

You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes

And everything changes

But, the real truth hurts

You only get what you deserve

'Cause everybody changes

And everything changes

The real truth hurts

And you only get what you deserve
