IF I WOULD OF KNOWN

It's 3 am tryna study late
missed too many days
Tryna graduate
but baby's crying cause he needs to be fed
Im feeling so tired just wanna go to bed
but I gotta keep my head straight
Tryna make it on my own all alone
Cause you were never there and you left me all alone wohhowo
You left me all alone tryna make it on my own

(Chorus)
If I would of know that by 16 I'd be grown
I would've thought things through but its too late there's nothing I can do  oooo
But keep my head up straight tyrna make it on my own all alone
Cause you were never there and you left me all alone

Raised my kids on my own like a single young mother
And I did it like no other
You started coming home late
Then I had to wait
Then you didn't come home at all
And I was wondering where my Faith
Was Going

Got my education
Got my Degree
Who would of known
That a young mother like me
Would ever make it successfully
I never let my circumstances hold me back
I've sacrificed so much and now I'm taking it back

(REPEAT CHORUS)

If I would of know that by 16 I'd be grown

I would've thought things through but its too late there's nothing I can do  oooo

But keep my head up straight tyrna make it on my own all alone

Cause you were never there and you left me all alone

You left me all alone tryna make it on my own

Wooouoo keep my head straight

Its too late

Can't go back noooo nooo nooo noo

If I would of known that by 16

I'd be groooowwn

Too be continued...
