The Diary of Me

Ummm pum pum pum pum pum

Looked behind myself
As I reflect on all the memories
The times they come and go
Lost everything from
Friends to Family

If I could turn back the hands
There would be
Somethings I'd change about me
I know that my past is not what my future holds

Where I come from
Who could believe
All the pain and misery
Look in my eyes and you'll see
The diary of me

Rewind my life
Just go back and correct
All the wrong
And ask God to direct my path
So that I can make it home

And if I could turn back the hands of time
There would be somethings I would change about me
But I know that my past is not what my future holds
Cause

Where I come from
Who could believe
All the pain, misery
Look in my eyes and you will see
The diary of me

Years ago a child was born (A child was born)
And raised without a man (without a man, raised in the streets)
My mother's gone
But still reached out her hand
Just open the book
Turn the pages of my life
And you will read
A true story about one man's journey

Where I'm from
Who would believe, yeah
That all the hurt and pain and misery
Look in my eyes
You'll see the diary of me

Where I'm from (where I'm from who could believe)
Who could believe (the hurt and pain and misery)
(Look in my eyes) in my eyes (and you will see)
(The makings of) the makings of
(My diary) My diary

(Where I'm from) look in my eyes
(Who could believe) you'll see
(The hurt and pain and misery)
(Look in my eyes)
(And you will see) yeah yeah yeah yeah
(The makings of my diary)
(Where I'm from...)
