From Scratch

Mase

featuring Harlem World Mysonne Shyne Harlem World




[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 toda
