V.1
If I could start my life from scratch –
Would I change anything – or leave it all in tact –
Lots of answers can be construed from that question –
Sitting alone stressin, with a strong grip on my weapon –
One too many strong drinks – Alters how I think –
Seen so much pain, I look forward to when I blink –
That’s the only time that I can close my eyes –
Split Seconds Count – when these enemies want you to die –
All black Crimson Tide Fitted sits to the Left –
I don’t wear all black cuz of some obsession with death –
I wear it to honor those that’s suffering like I did –
I’m on my Johnny Cash and I’m moving against the wind –
If it all ended now, would it be worth it?
Or would my funeral be empty –
See I Deal With a Curse That
Only I Can Understand – These Chuck Taylors Got Miles –
Just praying me and Jesus Relations gets reconciled –
Hook:
If I Could Start It All Over – Would I Change Anything –
Would I Make Different Decisions –
Would I Chase The Same Dreams –
If I Could Start It All Over –
Would I Alter My Reality –
Or Stay The Same – Accepting Who I Am As My Destiny –
Who I – Who I Am – As My Destiny –
Would I Alter My Re – Alter My Reality
Change Anything – Change – Change Anything –
If I Could Start It All Over – Would I Change Anything –
V.2
If I could start over, would I take that opportunity –
Or disregard that option, My losses are constituting these –
Dark Nights Alone – Can’t find reasons to smile –
I’m blowing options – Staying in the dark for a while –
Longer – praying I’m stronger – than I currently am –
But feel I’m talking to a wall – Cuz MY Faith’s wavering
Tapering myself off – I wanna put down the pills –
But the current’s strengthening – I’m drowning against my will –
Yeah I ain’t even tryna swim – it’s like I want it to happen –
Tired of conversating with shadows and hearing demons laughing –
If they could even fathom – all I’ve seen and been through –
Maybe then someone would feel me – Guess it’s too soon –
Lord, You Hear Me? Why I’m the One You’ve Kept Alive?
So Many Friends Have Died –
Man, What The Hell I’m Doing Right –
Tryna keep my eyes wide open – but the venom’s potent –
And I’m drowsy – a thousand downers got me lost in the moment –
Hook:
If I Could Start It All Over – Would I Change Anything –
Would I Make Different Decisions –
Would I Chase The Same Dreams –
If I Could Start It All Over –
Would I Alter My Reality –
Or Stay The Same – Accepting Who I Am As My Destiny –
Who I – Who I Am – As My Destiny –
Would I Alter My Re – Alter My Reality
Change Anything – Change – Change Anything –
If I Could Start It All Over – Would I Change Anything –
Bridge:
Yeah – Would I Change Anything?
(Would I Change Anything)
Or Be Stuck Chasing The Same Dreams?
(Same Dreams)
If I Could Start It All Over, Would I Change Anything?
(Would I Change Anything?)
Would I Alter My Reality Or Stay The Same –
Accepting Who I Am As My DESTINY
(My Destiny)
V.3
This is not a movie – it’s real life –
No fabrications – there’s no need for lies –
Jesus I Need You – Cuz I’m up against monsters –
On top of that I’m a Martian that’s lost my flying saucer –
I’m not of this world – I’m cut from a different cloth –
A different fabric – can’t manage to wipe scars off –
I’ve lost so much – that I’ve even lost count –
And anything I seemed to gain, the flames quickly burned down –
Humbled now, I ain’t want it – Rock Bottom Don’t Feel Good –
Let me make this understood – I was Born And Raised In The Hood –
Does that mean I’m destined for failure, will never escape?
Guess it could, it’s all in how I act and behave –
Never wanna go back again, Lord Please Take Me Away –
I deserve the fire and pain but I’d rather say Your Name –
Cuz You’ll Answer, cancelling out all of my past – Admonished –
Promised Greatness Is In Store For Me –
Long As You’re Welcome Where My Heart Is –
Hook:
If I Could Start It All Over – Would I Change Anything –
Would I Make Different Decisions –
Would I Chase The Same Dreams –
If I Could Start It All Over –
Would I Alter My Reality –
Or Stay The Same – Accepting Who I Am As My Destiny –
Who I – Who I Am – As My Destiny –
Would I Alter My Re – Alter My Reality
Change Anything – Change – Change Anything –
If I Could Start It All Over – Would I Change Anything –
