Lyfe Jennings - If I Knew Then, What I Know Now lyrics

It took a tragedy for me to see, for me to come back to reality It took my family, sanity This wasn't part of the plan for me People talked about me, went on without me As if I had never existed I guess a blessing taught me a lesson I'll remember as long as I'm living If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now I did it to myself, blamed nobody else People warned me before it went down I was out of control, d** and alcohol, living life like there was no tomorrow And I'm not no superstar, times are super hard I'm still finding my way day to day And I'm a man of my mind, I apologize, no one's perfect we all make mistakes If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now Spent a lot of time upset, lot of things I regret Damn it's so hard to let it go it go They say that this gonna pa**, I know but I'm still mad It just all happen so fast, for sure for sure Mommy say life is prayer, daddy say life ain't fair But at least life still here, ya know ya know If I could take it back I would, if you could take it back you should Bad times come with the good, hold on hold on If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now
