I like it    I don't like it

Ummm pum pum pum pum pum

Looked behind myself

As I reflect on all the memories

The times they come and go

Lost everything from

Friends to Family

If I could turn back the hands

There would be

Somethings I'd change about me

I know that my past is not what my future holds

Where I come from

Who could believe

All the pain and misery

Look in my eyes and you'll see

The diary of me

Rewind my life

Just go back and correct

All the wrong

And ask God to direct my path

So that I can make it home

And if I could turn back the hands of time

There would be somethings I would change about me

But I know that my past is not what my future holds

Cause

Where I come from

Who could believe

All the pain, misery

Look in my eyes and you will see

The diary of me

Years ago a child was born (A child was born)

And raised without a man (without a man, raised in the streets)

My mother's gone

But still reached out her hand

Just open the book

Turn the pages of my life

And you will read

A true story about one man's journey

Where I'm from

Who would believe, yeah

That all the hurt and pain and misery

Look in my eyes

You'll see the diary of me

Where I'm from (where I'm from who could believe)

Who could believe (the hurt and pain and misery)

(Look in my eyes) in my eyes (and you will see)

(The makings of) the makings of

(My diary) My diary

(Where I'm from) look in my eyes

(Who could believe) you'll see

(The hurt and pain and misery)

(Look in my eyes)

(And you will see) yeah yeah yeah yeah

(The makings of my diary)

(Where I'm from...)
