Been to hell and back many times
And I ain't never walked no lines,
I've never been no kind of saint, But I promise you I'm one of a kind
I've been handcuffed, face in the dirt, I've been dressed up and ready for church
I've been betrayed, my heart been broke and I've broke some hearts and I ripped them open
I'm just a man I've made mistakes, Never settled down livin' place to place
I've been ashamed and I've been proud
I can laugh about it or break down
I've never been to good at love
Never had a love that would love me back
No one around when I needed help
I was lost in hell and way off track
I've been sick and tired, I've cried the blues
I've heard people saying that I'm bad news and thats half the truth
But you only gonna see the half of me thats meant for you
I've chased dreams, I've wasted time
I've hurried up, just to wait inline
But I've paid my dues, I can't wait for mine
I've got a legacy to leave behind
No matter what you think of me
Just keep it real and don't be fake to me
Don't talk that trash unless your facing me
And if you think I'll fail just wait and see
Cause I've seen it all and I'm not afraid
The blood, the sweat, too much pain
I've lost it all and got it all to gain
So Im on my way, thank God I've changed
Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you what path you choose
When your back is up against that wall again
And you feel like everything is just fallin' in
Cause everything changes better for worse
It could be hell or heaven on earth
Like fairy tales but the real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve
Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you what path you choose
When your back is up against that wall again
And you feel like everything is just fallin' in
Cause everything changes better for worse
It could be hell or heaven on earth
Like fairy tales but the real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve
Everybody changes (everbody changes)
And everything changes (everything changes)
The real truth hurts (the real truth hurts)
You only get what you deserve
Cause everybody changes (everybody changes)
And everything changes (everything changes)
The real truth hurts (the real truth hurts)
And you only get what you deserve
Never switched up, never solded out
For this music game I poured my soul out
Heart break and pain is all I know about
I need happiness, I'm getting older now
My momma needs a better house
And my little brother he's with it too
So I gotta get my feet on the ground
I gotta do this here with nothing to lose
My kids have seen me struggle at times
But I did good a couple of times
Look at how far I came with a troublesome mind
When I could have fell and came crumbling down
I did dirt, I've been kicked in it
Built a house of pain and I lived in it
Been bad mouthed and talked down on
So it feels good to put a smile on
And I promised that I'd never go back
To that place I lived in the past
To the person I use to be
Because I'm finally free at last
So if I never make it in music
Just know that I made it in life
And thats more than I could ever asked for
And I think I'm doing alright
No matter what you think of me
Just keep it real and don't be fake to me
Don't talk that trash unless your facing me
And if you think I'll fail just wait and see
Cause I've seen it all and I'm not afraid
The blood, the sweat, too much pain
I've lost it all and got it all to gain
So I'm on my way, thank god I've changed
Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you what path you choose
When your back is up against that wall again
And you feel like everything is just fallin' in
Cause everything changes better for worse
It could be hell or heaven on earth
Like fairy tales but the real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve
Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you what path you choose
When your back is up against that wall again
And you feel like everything is just fallin' in
Cause everything changes better for worse
It could be hell or heaven on earth
Like fairy tales but the real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve
Everybody changes (everbody changes)
And everything changes (everything changes)
The real truth hurts (the real truth hurts)
You only get what you deserve
Cause everybody changes (everybody changes)
And everything changes (everything changes)
The real truth hurts (the real truth hurts)
And you only get what you deserve (you deserve)
