[Intro]
Now look (Uh)
Let me tell y'all my story
Cee
My side
Bitch, y’all gotta hear me out (Bitch)
[Verse 1]
Now let me tell you 'bout a girl named Cee
A bad lil' bitch who was raised in the B
I got it out the mud, they ain’t give me shit for free
Made a palette on the floor when I ain't have a bed to sleep
My daddy wasn't around, but that only made me tougher
I grew up with my mama, my lil' sister, and my brother
The oldest out of three, I had to watch my mama struggle
But my mama held it down, that's the reason why I love her
I barely had friends, so I hung out with my cousin
My titi was a fiend, but she family, I ain't judgin'
I always knew that I would be a winner since a youngin (Yeah)
Just thinkin' ’bout my past make me sick, it hurt my stomach
My grandma took me in and taught me how to be a woman
That’s why I'm independent, I don’t need a bitch for nothin'
My mama fell in love when she met this young dude
That's when we left the city and we moved to Baton Rouge
And I was kinda mad, but I had to keep it cool
Until I started wildin', havin’ fights at my school
I'm not the one to play with, I'll give a bitch the blues
My teachers never liked me 'cause they said I was too rude
I never made friends, so I stayed to myself
Bitch, I got my own back, I don't need nobody else
A couple years passed, I finally settled down
Until my mama told me that she finna lose the house
We couldn't pay the bills 'cause her boyfriend was trickin'
So then we got evicted, had to move back to the city
That's when I started rappin', had to focus on my skills
Fast forward, 2020, now I got a record deal, for real (Look)
[Interlude]
Cee, why are you lyin'? You ain't even tellin' the story right, bitch
Yes, I am, bitch
How you gon' tell me I ain't tellin' the story right?
'Cause I am tellin' it
'Cause, bitch, you ain't even tellin' 'em everything
I am, how the fuck you gon' tell me?
Man, tell 'em everything, let me tell it
No
[Verse 2]
Now let me tell you how it really went, 'cause she ain't tell it right (Yeah)
How you skip over the most important shit about my life? (Uh)
Yeah, we moved to Baton Rouge, yeah, my mama got addicted
But don't act like it was easy when we got back to to the city
We was livin' with my granny, four of us in one room (Yeah)
My mama kept on lyin', talkin' 'bout we finna move
But it ain't ever happen, I got tired of waitin' for it
Disappointed in my mama, that shit hurt me to my core
I ain't wanna go to school, every morning, I would skip
How the fuck was social studies gonna teach me to get rich?
Then one day, I finally went, remember like it's yesterday
I was up in homeroom when I met my friend Reshay
Ever since that fuckin' day, we did everything together
When I signed a major deal, I promised she could get whatever
I told her we a team, she just gotta play her part
Rapper now, but bitch, I really used to work at Walmart
Yeah, I had a little job, but that didn't last long
'Cause I quit and I put my focus on doin' songs
Then I started doin' shows, now I'm feelin' like a star
This shit crazy, but I always knew that I would make it far
But let me speed it up and tell you how I got to where I'm at
Did a song called "Payback" and that put me on the map
Everything was goin' good, they was feelin' my steeze
I had the whole city hollerin', "Real nigga me, please"
Then I went viral off of TikTok and my phone was ringin' nonstop
Everybody bein' sweet, tryna fly me out to meet
Then I flew out to Miami, it was me, Reshay, and Tee
Then I signed a record deal, end of story, c'est la vie, bitch
[Outro]
Yeah, that's how it really happened
Cee was lyin', tellin' y'all some crazy shit (Bitch, you lyin')
Rachelle, you lyin' (Or whatever)
I just said that at the beginning (No, you didn't say it)
No, bitch, you didn't tell it all the way (Thank you)
What you mean, Rachelle, I ain't tell it all the way?
Bitch, 'cause you didn't
No, you didn't, bitch, but this how it really went (No you didn't)
I told y'all the truth (Whatever)
Y'all got both sides of the story
Girl, why is you even here? Why is you even at the studio?
It was really Rachelle, though (Just 'cause I'm Rachelle), uh
No, bitch, I made you, Cee made you (Cee)
Not Rachelle
Bitch
