Diary of a sinner, huh, 1st entry 
 
[Verse 1] 
Dear diary, this the 1st time 
I had a chance to sit and just think with a clear mind 
has a homeboy stressed out for a little while, few things ain't work out 
could somebody come out or it's about 3:29, i'll give it about another hour 
I'm over here at your man house 
on your man couch, just puttin these thoughts down 
maybe this right here one day will be worth something 
before we start messin up 
you know you get big when you leave, it's a damn shame 
but that's the way that it gotta be huh, 
Look at Malcolm X, Martin Luther King 
Marvin Gaye, Tupac, B.I.G. and Big Pun damn this pen messy 
 
[Chorus] 
a motherfucker had thought 
and I had to write em down 
it's the diary, of a sinner 
a motherfucker had thought 
then I had to write em down 
liven life as a born loser 
liven in a world that I didn't see ohhh 
 
[Verse 2] 
damn, I'm back, I had to change pen, I done got ink everywhere 
all over my hand, and on my pant and how in the hell I get it way down there 
just can't get it right 
seem that everything I do just fall on one side 
but I can say one thing, I dont always get mine, and I dont ever stop tryin 
feel like I was here before my time 
people say when they hear my rhyme 
people see it when they look in my eye it's like   ? 
like 35 years on a 26 year life 
i done walk so many miles in these shoes 
I'm surprise that the bottom ain't wore out 
I'm about to go take a walk right now 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Verse 3] 
mmmm hmmm 
it wha good ta me, a little walk 
just what I needed, cool breeze, nobody on the street with me 
my own little world of peace 
but reality gotta be what it gotta be 
and nuttin in the book said, life will to be sweet 
I'm pleased with the life that was given to me 
i could of still been sleep 
on my way so please when none this here will matter to me 
cuz, know when I messed up, several times 
i just done something tonite 
and I know I know right from wrong 
and that's what kill me 
i still do the wrong thing 
am I crazy, can't believe I got a damn diary 
 
[Chorus] 
 
oh oh oh  ohh 
liven life, liven life 
ohh a diary, a diary ohh 
and it's written on paper ohh 
can't you just see it 
all of my life oh, 
all of my life oh, 
all of my life 
 
all of [x3] 
all of my life oh lright 
oh it's the diary of a sinner 
 
[Petey Pablo] 
there it is, my life 
right there, right in your face 
the diary, I wanna thank everybody that went out and picked up the album 
got the album, and got a chance to understand who, who I'm is 
know what I'm sayin, everything I gave ya'll was the truth 
damn I ran out of time
