Story of Mine

[Intro]
Hey, yo
Yo, where's my pen at?
Need to write somethin' down
Here we go

[Verse 1]
I was born prematurely
I almost died at birth
Wasn't showin' vital signs
Mom was cryin' worse
Nurses were try'na work
Curse this revival worked
Tried it, maybe three or four times
Before it finally worked, hah
My dad walked out, just before I was born
I never got to see his face, never got to know him
I guess that I'll pull out a page, then I'll write a poem
That'll make me feel better, I'll make a letter
Then I'll show him

[Verse 2]
Dear Dad, I want you to know, I'm happy
Fuck that, I'm just feelin' bad, that you had me
Mad, that I was born, and then you threw me in the trash heap
With everything you planted inside of me, I'm a bad seed
Actually, I'm scared that I'm 'onna be like you
Everybody that I've talked to, says that I'm like you
Now, I'm having nightmares, about what I might do
We share the same blood, same veins
I remind you, we different (it's the story of mine)

[Chorus]
Story of mine, story of mine
I want you to read, oh, the story of mine
Tell me what you can find
See inside of my mind and
Maybe then, you'll understand
It's the story of mine
Story of mine, story of mine
I want you to read, oh, the story of mine
Tell me what you can find
See inside of my mind
Maybe then, you'll understand
It's the story of mine

[Verse 3]
Growing up, I was never popular
See, I was bullied, on the daily
It was obvious
That I wasn't the coolest kid
Didn't have the coolest shit
Always had my eyes down
While walkin' through the school and shit
Yeah, but that's the reason that I started music
So I could try to make a friend, and I could be the cool kid
I could try to get respect, 'cause I'm not stupid

[Verse 4]
I wish I had more of a clue
'Cause I'm feelin' clueless
Useless
Yeah, tell me what you tell me
'Cause I ain't got no backbone
But you ain't gotta help me
I'll do this by myself, see
If you try to help me
Then I could never stand up for myself
I could not breathe
Not breathe
An' I feel like I'm fucking suffocating
I've gotta get outta the underground
I'm done with waiting
I'm so fucking hungry
Yeah, my stomach aches
It's fucking aching
I guess I've gotta make a change
Yeah, I'm done complaining (it's the story of mine)

[Chorus]
Story of mine, story of mine
I want you to read, oh, the story of mine
Tell me what you can find
See inside of my mind and
Maybe then you'll understand
It's the story of mine
Story of mine, story of mine
I want you to read, oh, the story of mine
Tell me what you can find
See inside of my mind
Maybe then, you'll understand
It's the story of mine

[Bridge]
I think that I'm going crazy
Maybe you made me
Maybe you love me
Maybe you hate me
And maybe you want me
And maybe you blame me
Yo, I don't know what else to say
Oh no, here we go
Listen to the stereo
Everyone that used to hate
Tellin' me they're here, for all
Forever

[Verse 5]
But, I don't think that I believe that
And I don't need that, all I see is black
I wanna say, I found the light, that I can see the path
But I'd be lying through my teeth, I don't need a map
I could live my whole damn life, without me needin'that
Now, I'm happy with who I've become, yeah
I'm fucking happy, that I'm different, I'm the one
Bound to make a change, with this pain, I can overcome
Every single song that this album is the story of mine an'

[Hook]
It's the story of mine
It's the story of mine
It's the story of mine

[Outro]
Story of mine, story of mine
I want you to read from the story of mine
Tell me what you can find
See inside of my mind and
Maybe then, you'll understand
It's the story of mine
It's the story of mine
