Sins Of The Past Lyrics

I remember, when they say I wasn't black enough

Speaking so articulate, and I never had to grow up rough

Man what luck, told myself I'd never be stuck

But the cops don't care, still had my black skin in cuffs

Rise through it all, grind through the hate

Money on mind, can't you relate

I still remember when they laughed when I told them I was gonna make it out the gates

Keep ya circle small, and ball behind the scenes

Cuz the folks who be really hating on ya really want to live your dreams, always

Man, look at them now, all the advice they ask me now

I just tell them to hold it cuz Big D still got the crown

I run my town, graduated with my cap and gown

Still climbing up them stairs like Rocky, and no one else can stop me, ya

I remember, when they said that I wouldn't make it

Never given man you gotta take it

Authentic bro, never fake it, ya

Just look at me

Look at my eyes and tell me what you see

Pain running through my whole body man

Even when they view my whole autopsy, ya

Pain will never last

Once you feel the Sins of the Past

Still it made me a better man

Still it made me a better man, ya

Pain will never last

Once you feel the Sins of the Past

Still it made me a better man

Still it made me a better man

I remember, when this girl tried to play me

Made me feel so toxic when she really got with the whole team, facts

Got me questioning my love like did I do enough

Then I realized girls come and go just to get ya bucks

Man, how tragic

Had to learn from what really happened

Keep ya heart locked away, now my girl the only one who really knows my passion

I remember, they said I couldn't be a Varsity Coach

Laughed at me for betting on myself, telling me I was done for

4 Years later look at me now

One of the best to ever do it

Keep ya head down and keep grinding dawg, only you can make it happen

Praying on my downfall, hoping that I lose

I know they wishing that they would play me like a fool

Pain will never last

Once you feel the Sins of the Past

Still it made me a better man

Still it made me a better man, ya

Pain will never last

Once you feel the Sins of the Past

Still it made me a better man

Still it made me a better man
