"Diary Of Me" lyrics - R. KELLY

Umm pum pum pum
Pum pum, pum pum, pum pum

Look behind myself
As I reflect on all the memories
Good 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, 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 and you'll see
The diary of me

Where I'm from who could believe
The hurt and pain and misery?
Look in my eyes and you will see
The makings of my diary

Where I'm from who could believe
The hurt and pain and misery?
Look in my eyes and you will see
The makings of my diary

Where I'm from who could believe?
