[Big Boi]

Nah nah nah

That's part of the

That's, yeah

I got ya good that time, shawty

[Debra Killings]

Start over again

Everything happens for a reason

Good doesn't come without pain

Start over again

Everything happens for a reason

[Big Boi]

Ain't it funny how you're born and then your life begins

Just like a baby all alone, that's if you wasn't a twin

You must begin to fend for self when the umbilical's cut

The doctor put you under the heating lamp, your spirit is touched

You know what, I take that back, why? You was alive

Date of conception, interception cause the sperm did collide

From T 'n A to DNA, feelings turn to children

The morning after pill didn't put a halt to our very existance

We livin, breathin, soon we'll be teethin

Our granny got a gold and now we want one for that reason

An adolescent mind is so impressionable in those stages

But parents got to parent their kids to keep them out of cages

Cell therapists beware of this lugie that I spit

Incarceration without rehabilitation really don't mean shit

Little Ricky's home, he gotta serve probation for six months

But Uncle Donnel and Ol' Dirty Bastard still in the joint

Reset

[Khujo]

Good does not come without pain

Meaning, before it gets better, it's goin get worse

Like my homies on the sick side still dyin over turf

That don't belong ot urse

I mean us, left in the dust

Try to catch up with massah

I used to wanna wrap my hands around the esophagus of them crackers

But Ephesians 6:12 said it wasn't flesh and blood that we wrestle against

Principalities, powers of this world

Rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness

In high places, so throw that whole armor of righteousness

I spark this thang, but my name ain't Bubba

I got a problem with racist cab drivers, like Glover

And brothers that wax fat an dforget all about the struggle

Yeah, come on, come on

Guess what, guess what

Time to reset this thang

[Cee-Lo]

Listen to me

I awaken to sunlight that's beyond bright

This day will be done right

There is a war, just waiting on the other side of the door

But I'll be bringing God to the gunfight

Can't live forever, so have some fun, right

Life's a bowl of candy, you can have one, right

You can handle if tomorrow never comes, right

You'll get used to singin if only for one night

But I intend to raise two daughters and a son right

And I couldn't have wrote this if I was hopeless

And see I focus to provoke this

So open wide for my opinionated opus

Stop playin Go Fish, but not below this

Before I go, I thought that you all should know this

Recognize and realize before any regretting

Before you relapse, perhaps you'll consider resetting

Hmm?
