Reggie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know God could stop me but He ain't gon' stop me 'cause
He the one who brought me, I don't see why my back bent
For shit that was not me when He got a planned out scheme
The drugs almost got me, my best friend was Oxys
Shit got the worst out me, my mama couldn't stop it
'Cause she ain't know about me, my close friends was all fiends
For money, that's faulty, what I learned from that cost me
I damn near lost me, I damn near lost me
He damn near lost him, I damn near lost me
You ever had a nigga try to make your car a coffin?
You ever got pulled over and your niggas had it all with 'em?
(Nah, I don't, I don't think he did that)
I ain't no gangsta nigga or street nigga who do that often
But the way my life set up, I know all them
On God, look
The pain won't stop me, the rain won't stop me
I know God could stop me but He ain't gon' stop me 'cause
He the one who brought me, I don't see why my back bent
For shit that was not me when He got a planned out scheme
The pain won't stop me, the rain won't stop me
I know God could stop me but He ain't gon' stop me 'cause
He the one who brought me, I don't see why my back bent
For shit that was not me when He got a planned out scheme
