Growing up I was always mama's angel 
G             A              Bm 
Never new I'd ever fall from grace 
        G                 A                 Bm 
I was taught to walk With God and run from trouble 
         G                                         A 
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways

I was proud to be in the bad news crowd 
       A 
The one my mama warned me about 
       Bm            A                G 
The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised 
            D                                 A 
But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing

I made mistakes that paved the way to the man I am today

I’m proud of em all, and I had a ball
