the diary of me

umm pum-pum-pum

pum-pum

pum-pum

pum-pum

look 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 some things 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 some things i would change about me

but i know that my past is not what my future holds

'cause

where i'm 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

and raised without a man

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

who could believe

in my eyes

the makings of

my diary

look in my eyes

you'll see

yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
