[Mase]
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 what would you
keep?

[Loon]
Yo yo if I could go back I
wouldn'ta sold no crack
Wouldn'ta never put my
hands around no gat
But you know Loon bein'
all hard headed
And don't listen even if God
said it
I didn't have to stick with folks that
sniff no coke
I didn't have to fix the block
when shit was broke
Same cats I helped was
twistin' smoke
Now imagine if I went to
school, went to class
'Stead of bein' a young
cat sent to blast
Sent to slash criminal's
necks in half
For playin' dumb when I come to
collect my cash
And cuz of that cats will
respect my past, I ain't
playin'

[Shyne]
If I start from scratch
I'd sign with Def Jam
Nah, fuck am I saying?
Puff's the best man
Plus I'mma Bad Boy, I'm
more like a bad man
Put mo' nigga's in pits
than Brad, man
Can't dodge bullets? Too bad,
man
Shit, I'd a copped the five instead of the
six
That way wouldn't of crashed and killed my
cousin
Keep quiet instead of having the
industry buzzin'
Do a devil's advocate style,
don't let 'em see you comin'
Use the revolver
when bustin' and sluggin'
That way no
evidence
But fuck it, got money to be tried,
worse come to worse
Who God bless, no man
curse, hatin' niggas, lay in the
dirt

[Mase & Meeno]
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
your life from scratch (What? What?)
Rewind
time and still go back (About to kill it)
What
would you change in the way that you live
today
And what would you leave right where
it's at?
Come on, come
on

[Meeno]
Yo, if I could start 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 could find a gun, but
if my prints ain't on that thing
What is you
sayin'?
And on the same block that I get my
glocks from
You see the same cop that get
popped with the shot gun
(Mysonne:
Mysonne)
And at the same bodega I got my tops
from
(Mysonne: Mysonne)
I give the same old
money to the same cop's bum

[Mysonne]
If
I could start from scratch, I'd bring daddy
back
And put five in the first cat that show
mami crack
I sit back and listen to them
drunks on the block
Tryin' to school me with
jewels, tellin' me who to watch
I killed five
people, I'd let survive
And the five I took
away, I'd a left alive
If I could do all it
again I'd bring Virg' back
Or I 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 and catch a charge
And I'd
do it all again if I had to
Pitch no-win to
win, 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't change that
I'm a
problem

[Mase]
Yo, if you could start
your life from scratch (Uh)
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? (And Double
Up)

If you could start your life from
scratch (Bad Boy, Bad Boy)
Rewind time and
still go back
(Yo, I really don't know what's
goin' on)
What would you change in the way
that you live today
(I'm tellin' ya, I really
don't know what's goin' on)
And what would you
leave right where it's at?
Come on, come
on

[Mase]
Yo, cuz 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 alot
Wish I wore
three rubbers 'case the first rubber
popped
But you can't cry now, milk already
spilt
I had eleven friends and ten already
killed
Went down south and I ain't feel the
guilt
And I ain't ready to war but that ain't
the way built
And for all the nights and all
the fights
That I had for all this money over
all these dice
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 limelight
or the super-stardom
Whoever thought there'd
be a problem comin' through Harlem
Can't even
chill, cats wanna make me a villian
Cats that
I grew up with I gotta contemplate
killin'
Nobody love me, I'm 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'd told me then
Though I'm the
youngest, I'mma grow to be the oldest man
And
cats thinkin' they gon' win cuz they
veterans
Ain't about age at this stage, man
with the most cheddar win
How you live right?
Every day get in bigger sin
How you say no at
the door screamin' "Let me in"?
From the
outside it's lookin' gooder than it ever
been
But tell the truth, when I was broke it
was better then
All Out, 33rd
street

[Mase]
Yo, if you could start
your life from scratch
Rewind time and still
go back
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 your
life from scratch
Rewind time and still go
back
What would you change in the way that you
live today
And what would you leave right where
it's at?
Come on, come on
