i remember the pain, like i still feel it
now i guard my aching' heart, with a steel fist, its real %#@!
type of thing these rappers never talk about

i fell in love head first, it hurt, until i walked it out, still had my doubts
but i grew and i learned my $#&@ing lesson
you can't know happiness until you lived in a depression

and you can't learn from mistakes until you went through the experience
you don't know what it takes until you break, thats what my theory is
had me furious, i lost all control, but you only know love

when you learn to let it go
see you only know trust, if you keep your faith straight
so i keep her heart safe, for fate's sake, its a great day

i tell her wait stay, let me get to know you
if you don't know about the light maybe i could get to show you
so we never have to fight, try to get on my page

cuz the wisdom that i got only gets better with age
