For a Reason
Joe Budden

Chorus:

Lookin back on the things ive done

everything happens for a reason

life is somethin u learn from

everything happens for a reason

i gotta make a confession theres nothin im regretting

lifes a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weapon

so dont make me

life is something u learn from

everything happens for a reason

Joey B, you know me B

It's the nigga that would tryn' get the blow on GP

It's the nigga in the hood on the low G3

It's the nigga some niggaz want so does he please

Is it 'cause he make the flow look so easy

Or do he sit and count up all the dough that he see

Or do they wanna prove they OG and use me

To get the guns out, sending him to ODB

But what I ever did to a nigga? Aside give to a nigga

Try to show the big pic to a nigga

But I can't conclude how some niggaz conclude

That the world is too small for them to live with a nigga

I don't regret dude trying me, dude keeping that eye on me

Then they gotta live with this thing called irony

And if I gotta live with the idea reminding me

Then they can't live when the iron's on me, yeah!

Chorus:

Lookin back on the things ive done

everything happens for a reason

life is somethin u learn from

everything happens for a reason

i gotta make a confession theres nothin im regretting

lifes a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weapon

so dont make me

life is something u learn from

everything happens for a reason

Things just ain't the same for gangstas

And so I bear my soul, my pain, my anger

I beg to the Lord, keep me far from mo' danger

Look I know 'em but can't see 'em, he's a popular stranger

If I never got stabbed, wouldn't remember Veronica's wrath

Standing in the shower looking at the scab

I wouldn't know the hints of a stick-up kid

If I ain't have that short stint as a stick-up kid

If dude never tried to kill me, I mighta went numb

To all the bullshit that goes on where I'm from

And if I never went to jail, wouldn't needed a bail

Woulda probly went on to graduate from Yale

Woulda been a prosecutor standing in the court of law

But then that goes against everything he stands for

And if I never met Glo, how would I really know

All the shit that comes with, when you dealing with a ho

See it is what it is to be

Or it is what it is, at least that's what it is to me

And so if I could ever go back in history

I wouldn't change shit, I'd leave it all just to be

And if my first album woulda did five when it dropped

I'd be chillin, instead of tryna' rise to the top

If I could reverse the roles, would I reverse the roles?

Would it be worth it to try to reverse the tolls?

Chorus:

Lookin back on the things ive done

everything happens for a reason

life is somethin u learn from

everything happens for a reason

i gotta make a confession theres nothin im regretting

lifes a valuable lesson to have to pull out a weapon

so dont make me

life is something u learn from

everything happens for a reason

I got a brother always keeps it real, his name's Guilt

Let's me know I can't stand however it is I feel

I got a cousin named Pride, nigga acts like a lawyer

Gotta a sister named Karma, I be tryna' avoid 'er

Gotta ex that's bitter, wants me to be her nigga

Hates my girl Self-Pity 'cause I'm always with her

But bitter's beef is valid, she don't like shorty 'cause she use me

One time she seen 'er verbally abuse me

Got a friend that's passive, friends call him Passive

He just says whatever hoping that shit passes

My Uncle Hindsight wears real thick glasses

Reminds me of where I been and how shit gets drastic

Got a Aunt named Humility, she speaks low mumbles

Don't care that I'm a rapper she keeps me so humble

In my head I'll debate it, outloud I'll never say it

I'm pretty sure it's a good reason we all related
