R. Kelly - Diary of Me lyrics

Umm pum pum pum Pum pum, pum pum, pum pum Look behind myself As I reflect on all the memories Good times, they come and go Lost everything from friends to family If I could turn back the hands There would be some things I'd change about me I know that my past is not what my future holds Where I come from who could believe All the pain and misery? Look in my eyes and you'll see The diary of me, of me Rewind my life Just go back and correct all the wrong And ask God to direct my path So that I can make it home And if I could turn back the hands of time There would be some things I would change about me But I know that my past is not what my future holds 'Cause where I'm from who could believe All the pain, misery Look in my eyes and you will see The diary of me Years ago a child was born And raised without a man My mother's gone But still reached out her hand Just open the book Turn the pages of my life And you will read A true story about one man's journey Where I'm from who would believe, yeah That all the hurt and pain and misery? Look in my eyes and you'll see The diary of me Where I'm from who could believe The hurt and pain and misery? Look in my eyes and you will see The makings of my diary Where I'm from who could believe The hurt and pain and misery? Look in my eyes and you will see The makings of my diary Where I'm from who could believe?
