[Meek Mill, Dave Patten - Believe Me lyrics]
Oh man I wish I knew, I wish I knew it then
But I don't let it stop me
You know I'll be back again
All the mistakes I've made
Trouble that I've been in
It shaped me into the person
You see standin' here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I've come
So don't judge me, you don't know me
Please, oh yeah believe me
Yeah up to third grade it was all As
Fourth and fifth grade was the hard days
Detention and suspension was an always
By the time high school it was the hallways
Them was the wish I had a car days
'cause all the stewards that was
Trapping they was all payed
And we was all broke
That's when the law broke
Cops catch us wouldn't say a
Word like our jaw broke
Picture me back then, look at me right now
Preforming in front of twenty thousand
On the mic now
I caught a couple cases, I had to pipe down
Was living in the dark I'm in the light now
You grind hard, then you shine harder
I'm going hard like my last
Name Carter, Dwayne, Sean, and Vin
Who'll play my life if I be born again
Oh man I wish I knew, I wish I knew it then
But I don't let it stop me
You know I'll be back again
All the mistakes I've made
Trouble that I've been in
It shaped me into the person
You see standin' here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I've come
So don't judge me, you don't know me
Please, oh yeah believe me
Yeah, don't have to listen to me
You don't have to believe a
Single word I say
No, that's what my mother told me
Still I went out and learned
Everything the hard way
And I've been crying, no
No, I've been crying, no no
Oh yeah, she told me to grow up
I grew up and stood up now
Each day I move up again
I got a minute to say what I want
Trying to make for everything
That I've done wrong
But that made me who I am
And if I broke your heart
Well I'm sorry again
Oh man I wish I knew, I wish I knew it then
But I don't let it stop me
You know I'll be back again
All the mistakes I've made
Trouble that I've been in
It shaped me into the person
You see standin' here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I've come
So don't judge me, you don't know me
Please, oh yeah believe me
Thinking back when I was in the trap
Without a dollar to my name
I wasn't thinking rap
Niggas say I change, ask what I think of that
I say change for the better
I'm never thinking back
I should be a power forward
Shitting so much I think
My toilet outta order
Take 'em out the box they like
A fish up out the water
But me, I'ma survive
Put that on my Ma swear to God
How you gonna win when you never try
I can see my future like
I'm living in a mirage
Everyday I'm living life like
I could never die old clothes in my closet
New whips in my garage
New chick in my bedroom, old chick by my side
New watch on my wrist saying this is my time
So don't judge me, just love me
Their is nothing above me
My future so pretty, say God don't like ugly
Oh man I wish I knew, I wish I knew it then
But I don't let it stop me
You know I'll be back again
All the mistakes I've made
Trouble that I've been in
It shaped me into the person
You see standin' here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I've come
So don't judge me, you don't know me
Please, oh yeah believe me
But I don't let it stop me
You know I'll be back again
All the mistakes I've made
Trouble that I've been in
It shaped me into the person
You see standin' here
I wish you knew me back when I was young
You could see me, and just how far I've come
So don't judge me, you don't know me
