I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I made mistakes but I'm just man enough to say

There's no turning back now

There's no turning back now

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I made mistakes but I'm just man enough to say

There's no turning back now

There's no turning back now

Tequila glasses, shots to the head cuz some memories they need assassins

Got a quarter pound of purp an eigth of gin I have my friends

Gone, Gone

Man fuck it though, not too good with fractions

Tried to do it all on my own, not too good with asking

Cuz when people give you a hand they want an audience back

But they not clapping and standing, they clapping at me let's panic

Pop pop that AK take candids

I aim for the sky, never landed

And yup

I look up up up in the mirror, I see a nigga gettin' rich off me

Hmm, and look at all these mother fuckers trynna get rich off me

But they wasn't there not when times got heavy man when things got deadly

Before my cash flow broke that levy man we ain't have no heat in that broke ass Chevy

Coming from a city where dreams get shredded, I'm goin off credit, these niggas need debit

Made mistakes but they made me what I am and I am what I am and I don't regret it

And I found the girl that I'd marry, the only curse

Is that I keep running into the girls that I'd fuck first

But that's the, lifestyle of the big big dogs

For everything you love and more, would you trade it all?

Would you trade it all? For everything you love and more, would you trade it all?

I mean a, big house, life you never saw, for everything you want and love, would you trade it all?

Would you trade it all?

For everything you know, are you down to let it go?

Fuck nah

Trynna make it out a city where niggas don't make it out

And if you do they want the blueprint so they can try and trace it out

They got that work, and thank God for yay

Signed to G.O.O.D, thank God for Ye

Before it's all said and done the one thing that I gotta say is

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I made mistakes but I'm just man enough to say

There's no turning back now

There's no turning back now

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I made mistakes but I'm just man enough to say

There's no turning back now

There's no turning back now

Man I miss my grandma

She ain’t passed away or nothin, I’m just busy on camera

I love her, I love her, I should call her up and tell her

Give her some flowers, while she can still smell ‘em

While she can still smell 'em, if you love somebody please tell 'em

I swear if you had 24 hours, tell me who or what would you do?

Would you spend it all with your fam or would you get it high with your crew?

Would you go back to your old girl and let her know that it’s true?

Would you go back to your old boss and piss all over his shoes?

Would you, try and make the news?

Would you get paid? Would you try to pay your dues?

Would you step it up or would you try and trade shoes?

Do you believe in karma or living for tomorrow?

Would you, hit the bar and go binging?

Would you, steal a car, Mercedez Benz? and

Would you die alone, would you die independent?

Or would have your friends right there in attendance when it’s all finished?

Guess that depends on how you live

Just pray that all of your wrongs don’t overshadow all that you did

But that's the, lifestyle of the big big dogs

For everything you love and more, would you trade it all?

Would you trade it all? For everything you love and more, would you trade it all?

I mean a, big house, life you never saw, for everything you want and love, would you trade it all?

Would you trade it all?

For everything you know, are you down to let it go?

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I made mistakes but I'm just man enough to say

There's no turning back now

There's no turning back now

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I made mistakes but I'm just man enough to say

There's no turning back now

There's no turning back now
