No Sad Story

(album: Outta My Way - 2000)

Aw damn they're ruthless

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
Kids in my family tree
And I've been poor my whole damn life
But I ain't crying, my life's sweet
I say:
You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be

Oh won't you tell me
How could you know
Oh won't you tell me
Ah

No sad story
No sad story
No sad story
Bringing me down
Come on man

You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be

Damn I've seen some fine ass girls
Been around the whole damn world
Me and my brothers going wild on the streets
Me and my brothers going wild on the beach

Oh won't you tell me
How could you know
Oh won't you tell me
Ah

No sad story
No sad story
No sad story
Bringing me down

Damn my pops like Cassius clay
Helping people round the way
And we've been poor because of that
But all my "fly boys" got my back
I say:
You I don't know what it's like to be
You I don't know what it's like to be
Oh won't you tell me
Ah

No sad story
No sad story
No sad story
No sad story

I don't know what it's like to be
I don't know what it's like to be
I don't know what it's like to be
I don't know what it's like to be you
