Lyrics

This Corner

[Intro]

Hey look let me tell y'all somethin' alright?

What I do, I do. Straight like that

So ain't no sense in y'all troublin' yourselves over that

Cause man the way I feel right now today

[Verse 1]

I came up on the wrong side of the fence

I gave my family pain and strife and asked them all for strength

But hell in my defense

And I got too much way too fast

My mama told me it won't last

Now I'm back down on the bottom

Wishin' that I took another path

I should've listened, but my mind was gone

My temper too quick so when my fuse get lit

So when it's on, it's on

Yeah, everybody wrong

Yeah, and I'm always right

Yeah, ain't nobody to blame now

It's me vs. me, man, this my fight

[Hook]

So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before

We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more

I'm better

[Post-Hook]

Yeah I put that on my family, all you gotta do is give me the chance

And I can show you that I'm worthy of the trust that you require

Put it all on my shoulders, I'm a fighter, I won't get tired

When I'm back up in this corner, back up in this corner, tryna get out

Back up in this corner, back up in this corner, gotta get out

[Verse 2]

You think I got none but I got all kind of sense

Stop judgin' my book by the cover

Maybe you should do a little reconnaissance

I ain't tryna vent, this ain't woe is me

It's nothing owed to me

Get the swan song, I don't need an ode to me

Shit hopefully holdin' this rosary'll keep me out of close calls with the O police

I said I'm tryna be a whole new me

I ain't tryna do the same old thing

I'm tryna prove to my family that I will not bring

No more trouble around, I ain't gotta do nothing

But stay out of shit, I ain't gotta be up in the chaotic

It's prolly 'cause it's my redemption that I'm entrenched in

And I won't let anybody deny my vision, it's my decision

But y'all ain't listenin'

[Hook]

So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before

We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more

I'm better

[Post-Hook]

Yeah I put that on my family, all you gotta do is give me the chance

And I can show you that I'm worthy of the trust that you require

Put it all on my shoulders, I'm a fighter, I won't get tired

When I'm back up in this corner, back up in this corner, tryna get out

Back up in this corner, back up in this corner, gotta get out

Back up in this corner, back up in this corner

[Verse 3]

It's my gameplan now

To get in this ring and show that I'm a changed man and how

I won't blow another chance to make you proud

Even though you got the right to hate me now

I know you lost your hope in me

But hopefully I can restore it back where it's supposed to be

I just want my daughter back, this fight means much more than that

I'm tryna think before I react, I ain't get the message at first

I tried to ignore the facts

But I'm much older, she's my soldier, I told you I'd go to war for that

I said your boy is the truth and it's no lie in him

All he needs is his family with him

Y'all want him 'til it's no room given

I'ma hit him 'til the ref come and get him

[Hook]

So don't look at me like I am the same person I was before

We all deserve a second chance and this time I think I can do more

I'm better
