K-Rino - After The Fact lyrics

Ay, they say "Hi!"ndsight is 20 20
First name ‘coulda’ middle name ‘shoulda’
Last name ‘woulda’
It’s crazy how once you do something
You see every little piece
Of how you shouldn’t
Have did it or should have did it

You always see it clear after the fact
Through all the setbacks and losses
And the savage attacks
When them petty people try you
You don’t have to react
You gon’ wait ’til you get older, man
How backwards is that?
That’s why I thank God for
Every bad habit I shook
Plus a lot of good advice that
I’m glad that I took
I never lost hope no matter
How bad that it looked
I saw my growth follow change
After that, I was hooked, yeah

I did a lot of wrong in my life
Some days it replays in my
Mind like some highlights
I formed alternate endings when
Mine didn’t fly right
Visualize in the abstract part of my eyesight
I suffered ’til I learned that I
Dictate how rough it gets
Searching inside my own heart to
See if love exists the past is the past
You can’t capture what you missed
Can’t touch a switch and change it
No matter how much you wish
The inner devils take a toll
‘cause they want control
It’s like the ghosts of my
Evil actions haunt my soul
Draped in regret because I know
I played a conscious role
Feeding the monster constantly just
Made the monster grow
I caused folks pain through ways I
Felt I had to act the setbacks
What percentage did I add to that?
The walk gets hard trying not
To be consumed by flaws
I know that God’s medicine can
Heal the wounds I caused

You always see it clear after the fact
Through all the setbacks and losses
And the savage attacks
When them petty people try you
You don’t have to react
You gon’ wait ’til you get older, man
How backwards is that?
That’s why I thank God for
Every bad habit I shook
Plus a lot of good advice that
I’m glad that I took
I never lost hope no matter
How bad that it looked
I saw my growth follow change
After that, I was hooked, yeah

Integrity distorts when we stray
From the right course
Evil acts extract from your
Positive life force
Your character degenerates
You start to conform to
Lower level vibrations until it becomes you
A blindly led tool who refuse to question
Reflections of who we tend
To choose for reference
The crash dummies usually don’t
Move with deference and only a fool seeks
Another fool’s acceptance
Am I really some terrific dude?
Or do I do good to
Balance off my wicked moves?
Some people openly have told me that I’m holy
I check ‘em fast ‘cause they don’t
Know me like I know me
Moving without thinking is something
I don’t recommend
Can’t take it back just like
A message after pressing ‘send’
I put myself in situations
That was stressful then
I ended one problem and fell
Up in some mess again

You always see it clear after the fact
Through all the setbacks and losses
And the savage attacks
When them petty people try you
You don’t have to react
You gon’ wait ’til you get older, man
How backwards is that?
That’s why I thank God for
Every bad habit I shook
Plus a lot of good advice that
I’m glad that I took
I never lost hope no matter
How bad that it looked
I saw my growth follow change
After that, I was hooked, yeah

I found myself thinking and dwelling
On my past the most
It’s hurtful when my good intentions
Lead to bad results
I might have did some wrong but
Never meant to hurt no one
I always dealt with the remorse
After the dirt was done
Some of my acts were just a
Phase while coming of age
I don’t hate myself
I just hate some of my ways
So now I’m living in
Controversy instead of peace
Wondering why certain accomplishments
I never reached
Watch how you talk to those who
Care about when rage appears
‘cause five seconds of angry words can
Lead to hate for years
The innocence in my face has
Been replaced by tears
Never let your manhood integrate with fears
Ask yourself can you afford what
It costs to fall it’s funny ‘cause I didn’t
Learn how to protect
What I had until I lost it all
Every sec you gotta be thinking, fam
I’m in a jam, trying my best to be the
Person people think I am

You always see it clear after the fact
Through all the setbacks and losses
And the savage attacks
When them petty people try you
You don’t have to react
You gon’ wait ’til you get older, man
How backwards is that?
That’s why I thank God for
Every bad habit I shook
Plus a lot of good advice that
I’m glad that I took
I never lost hope no matter
How bad that it looked
I saw my growth follow change
After that, I was hooked, yeah
