True Story

[Chorus]
TRUE STORY
WHAT YOU DO FOR ME?
YOU WAS FOR ME
WHEN THEY IGNORED ME
TRUE STORY
THIS IS ALL A TRUE STORY

[Verse 1]
I AIN’T HAVE NO CRIB
MY MAN GAVE ME THE KEY TO HIS
NOW THAT I’MA BOSS
I KNOW THAT I GOT TO HANDLE BIZ
CAN’T FORGET ABOUT
THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED
ALONG THE WAY
GOT TO THANK GOD
I WOKE UP AND SAW ANOTHER DAY
YOU AIN’T HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU DID
KNOW YOU WANT ME TO MAKE IT
IF I NEVER DID
WANT TO TELL YOU
I APPRECIATE IT
HELD IT DOWN FOR ME WHEN
EVERYBODY GAVE UP ON ME
NO CAP IN NO PART OF THIS RAP
THIS A TRUE STORY
COUPLE PAIR OF CLOTHES
POCKETS ON EMPTY
WAY BEFORE I HAD SHOWS
LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED
I COUDN’T BE ON THE ROAD
PROBATION OFFICER
CALLING I’M OUT OF TOWN
BEHIND ON RESTITUTION
SHE SAYING I NEED IT NOW
OF COURSE I DIDN’T HAVE IT
ON TOP OF THAT
WAS SMOKING I STARTED TO GET A HABIT
BEING BROKE WAS GETTING THE BEST OF ME
I BECAME A SAVAGE
MAD AT EVERYBODY BUT MYSELF
AIN’T SEE THE BAGGAGE
BUT YOU NEVER TRIPPED
GAVE ME A NEW BAG FOR MY LUGGAGE
TOLD ME GET IN MY DUFFLE
PEOPLE WAS MAD
NOW THEY LOVE IT
YOU PUSHED ME TO GO HARDER
I DON’T KNOW IF I SAID THIS
BUT EVERYTHING YOU DID
FOR ME I’MA ALWAYS RESPECT IT

[Chorus]
TRUE STORY
WHAT YOU DO FOR ME?
YOU WAS FOR ME
WHEN THEY IGNORED ME
TRUE STORY
THIS IS ALL A TRUE STORY
TRUE STORY
WHAT YOU DO FOR ME?
YOU WAS FOR ME
WHEN THEY IGNORED ME
TRUE STORY
THIS IS ALL A TRUE STORY

[Verse 2]
I KNOW WE AIN’T BEEN SPEAKING
BUT STILL I WISH YOU THE BEST
I COULD OF DID SOME THINGS BETTER
BUT I DON’T GOT NO REGRETS
DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY WE DISTANT
WE USED TO TALK EVERYDAY
I BEEN OVER MY EGO CAN’T LET IT GET IN THE WAY
JUST KNOW I’M OPEN TO TALK ABOUT IT
WHENEVER YOU READY
IF WE BOTH BEING HONEST
WE KNOW WE BOTH BEING PETTY
WE SAW EACH OTHER AND DAPPED
I KEPT IT MOVING WITH LOVE
WASN’T THE TIME OR THE PLACE
PLUS IT WAS LOUD IN THE CLUB
SOMETIMES I FIGHT WITH MYSELF
TELL ME MAYBE IT WAS
OR MAYBE IT WAS PRIDE
I HAD TO PUT IT ASIDE
YOU BELIEVED IN ME WHEN NOBODY ELSE WAS FOR ME
I COULDN’T MAKE THIS UP
THIS IS ALL A TRUE STORY

[Chorus]
TRUE STORY
WHAT YOU DO FOR ME?
YOU WAS FOR ME
WHEN THEY IGNORED ME
TRUE STORY
THIS IS ALL A TRUE STORY
TRUE STORY
WHAT YOU DO FOR ME?
YOU WAS FOR ME
WHEN THEY IGNORED ME
TRUE STORY
THIS IS ALL A TRUE STORY
