What We Had Lyrics

I don't want to point the blame, cause that just ain't my style

Yes, I know we had it rough, but that won't break my smile

Mom and pop working so damn hard just to pay the bills

Every minute that I took for granted, now it gives me chills

Cause you only get one and maybe two if you're blessed

A broken home is still much better than the rest

Mama just know that I ain't mad

Did the best we could with what we had, Oh yeah

Did the best we could with what we had, Yeah yeah

Did the best we could with what we had

Said I don't want to point the finger at nobody but myself

And I ain't gonna play the victim, so put that back up on the shelf

Product of your environment, man I'd like to disagree

Only product of your state of mind, what you do and who you keep

So you better make peace with the reasons that you're stressed

Troubles in paradise are better than the rest

Man, you know that I ain't mad

Did the best we could with what we had, Oh yeah

Did the best we could with what we had, Yeah yeah

Did the best we could with what we had

I know it wasn't easy, so be proud of yourself

All the things you tried to teach me, I still speak to myself

Don't beat yourself up, mama no, don't ever be sad

Go ahead and tell the same thing to my dad

Did the best we could with what we had Oh yeah
