Still Ain't Forgave Myself

Singing

T.I. Talking: Still ain't forgave myself.. d*mn
It's a lotta fked up s**t that go down man..
You don't even know the half..

Verse 1
Man I been in and outta trouble since an adolescent
Spoiled rotten, dead fresh, wit no daddy present
I got two uncles, Quint and Mayne and they keep me straight
7 and 8, I'm countin money while they movin weight
My daddy send me clothes and always tell me come and see him
I say aiight but still I feelin like my momma need him
They sendin letters home from school, nobody read mine
And plus my uncles, doin 10 years F.E.D. time
Then I started rebellin, began crack sellin
Tha littlest thang on the corner wit a Mac 11
After school I hear my momma holla homework
I say aiight ma, but look I got my own work
Started interactin wit fiends at the age of 13
Now my momma findin rocks in my socks, glocks in my toy box
Like d*mn, why do trouble come to me like this
But on the real, it ain't even have to be like this (fk)

Hook
Mistakes made on this road to wealth
Still ain't forgave myself
Ay, what I am today
I made myself but I still ain't forgave myself
For runnin to the grave gettin closer to death
I still ain't forgave myself
For anyone who ever wondered how I felt
I still ain't forgave myself

Verse 2
At 14 man, thought I knew everything
I'm slangin slabs, trappin hard, movin heavy Cain
I bought an '85 cutlass on some dane-a-danes
Now I'm the s**t, huh, the motor blew in 30 days
Hardheaded man I ain't listenin to anything
I'm getting money so I'm right and I got plenty game
Besides why I need school, Im'ma be rappin momma
If that don't work, then I guess Im'ma be trappin momma
But hey I promise Im'ma make it cause I'm d*mn good
Im'ma get us out this hood and off these can goods
School just a white man game, and it's ran good
At 16, here's my introduction to manhood
Blue lights behind me, d*mn what I'm gonna do
Cause I got 2 pounds of weed in the car and a 380 too
I guess everything'll be alright if I just keep it cool
How ya doin officer? What ya mean why I ain't in school?
Can you search the car?? Yea but, I rather that you didn't
Besides it's just a waste of yo time cause ain't nuttin in it
Laugh I guess that's when I seen, that I ain't know s**t
When stuck in a place wit freedom I ain't gone get.. (d*mn!)

Hook
Mistakes made on this road to wealth
I still ain't forgave myself
Ay, what I am today, I made myself
But I still ain't forgave myself
Guess these the chances you can take, when dealt the cards I was dealt
But I still ain't forgave myself
For anybody who ever done wondered how I felt
I still ain't forgave myself

Verse 3
Outta all the I was wit when I was doin wrong
3 in the fed, 1 doin life, and 2 dead and gone
Knew it was more to life than sellin blow and chopper bustin
But what's the good in knowin' better if I ain't tell 'em nutthin
I know I coulda told Cap not to kill shawty
Put down the gun, get in the car, let 'em live shawty
You'll probably get locked up, and I'll probably have a deal shawty
Naw, I ain't scared, I'm just telling ya like it is shawty
Coulda told Endae, and Quint, and Kern, man ya covers blow
Ay leave that country town alone, yall needa come back home
Bankhead and J-Rue, I just feel like if I was wit 'em
They never woulda got killed that night if I was wit 'em
Seem like I coulda done mo', said mo'
Why all my partners gotta be dead or in the feds fo'??
All the time, I just wish that yall could ball wit me
Sometimes at night I close my eyes, and dream that yall wit me (d*mn)

Hook
And even though they say I cant blame myself

What I am today, I made myself
But I still ain't forgave myself
For anybody who ever wondered how I felt
I still ain't forgave myself

And yea they say I cant blame myself
But I still ain't forgave myself
Fo the mistakes made on this road to wealth

Talking
Yea, for anybody who ever wondered how I felt
