Now I done felt a lot of pain
I done seen a lot of things
From struggling and broken heart to fancy cars (oh yeah)
And even though my money change
I tried my best to stay the same
But you know with mo money
Mo problems came

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn’t take away the rain
'Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I’ve learn so much from my mistakes that’s how I know he is watching me

In ATL I caught a case
And the media tried to say
I had a habit
I couldn’t manage and I am throwing my life away
But everything ain’t what it seems just because its on TV
'Cause they speculate and exaggerate for a better story

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn’t take away the rain
'Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I’ve learn so much from my mistakes that’s how I know he is watching me

Nobody knows what life may bring
It might make you happy it might make you sad
Sometimes yeah but I know there’s a reason for everything (but I know)
That’s why I keep believing
Whatever is meant to be its going to be

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn’t take away the rain
'Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I’ve learn so much from my mistakes that’s how I know he is watching me

If I had to do it all again
I wouldn’t take away the rain
'Cause I know it made me who I am
If I had to do it all again
I’ve learn so much from my mistakes that’s how I know he is watching me
