Time After Time

Time after time, find I question my life
How I went wrong, will it ever be right?
Will I rise, will I fall, stand tall?
Continue asking, but I'm knowing, only God knowTime after time, find I question my life
Where I went wrong, will it ever be right?
Will I rise, will I fall, stand tall?
Continue asking, but I'm knowing, only God knowGrowing up in the hood as a hard knock
I never knew nothing too much about young
My only concern was making my money
And running these streets as a thug
Instead of the birds and bees, I always talk to murderers and the G's
That coldness inside me, but I ain't trying to hurt nobody
Temptation is keeping me steadily going under
And I wonder, if I could make it through the thunder'Cause I done caused so much hurt and pain
To some that ain't deserve a thang
If I could change that, it would all be rearranged
But what's done is done and I paid the price
And now I'm like, "Help me Lord", to better my life, my life
Just give me the chance to prove the world
That I can be the man that I am
And I plan, on keeping it really, really slow and steadyTime after time, find I question my life
How I went wrong, will it ever be right?
Will I rise, will I fall, stand tall?

It's goin' down yeah, yeah, yeah, but what do ya know?
Who woulda knew that would make situations worse
And my curse, nothing I've tried seems to work
And I drop to my knees and I pray, yes I pray
And I wonder if I'll ever see a better day, I need a better dayI've seen much in my time and I think it was too much for my eyes
The wickedness pulling me closer to failure
Every time I think I'm rising, yeah
But you live and you learn and try to make better, gotta get control
Then follow the Lord and who knows where you'll go, for sho'
I can see how I've been sinnin'
I'm asking the Lord for a little bit of forgiving, 'givingTime after time, find I question my life
