Story Of Mine

(album: Gazing At The Moonlight - 2009)

[Chorus:]
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
I'm a tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right),
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
Pay attention closely to my story (alright)

[Verse 1:]
Mom ain't never had shit, neither did pop,
And that's exactly the reason that he beat her a lot,
So shit, as a kid I had to be a cheater and rob,
Dealing with the consequences of me getting caught,
Life appeared to be cool when I was young cause I didn't notice things,
Rent was paid every month with no problems so it seems,
And as I got older I would catch onto things,
Then I start to notice that shit ain't the way it's 'posed to be,
Come to find out we've been up in a rut,
My mom feeling like she got a knife stuck in the gut,
And dad tripping out for no reason cussin and stuff,
I'm trying hard sucking it up like fuck it it's sus,
And Christmas in the house was not that popular,
Cause all we ever receive was socks and boxers,
My friend got a power ranger toy and a megazoid,
It was official market on our fucking family four,

[Chorus:]
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
I'm a tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right),
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
Pay attention closely to my story (alright)

[Verse 2:]
When I was 17 my dad moved out,
He refused to try help for us get a brand new house,
So that just me, my mom and my sister,
And it was up to me to be the man to polish our future,
We was slowly falling apart,
I felt the pain all in my heart,
When my mom would go and crawl in the dark,
And cry lungs out cause she knew that our good times was up now,
I ain't know how to deal with none of it I was strung out,
Finally my 18th birthday hit,
I would had left, but I had to help her pay rent,
My homies got their own place, they living very nice,
Sipping on some Bacardi and throwing parties every night,
They mom buying cars, new 3-50 Z's,
Well my moms in debt, at least 50 G's,
That means I have to work harder just to get by, cause if I don't we'll be struggling for the rest of our lives, FUCK!

[Chorus:]
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
I'm a tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right),
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
Pay attention closely to my story (alright)

[Verse 3:]
God I hate to cuss to you, but I hate my fucking life,
Nothings right it's cold in my world, it's never summer time,
It is a test giving me this mediocre lifestyle,
If I'm a get then it needs to happen right now,
I'm one week away from jumping off a cliff,
Or putting heat up to my head, and then dumping off a clip,
I know you think I'm just lying, cause last time I stood next to a cliff side, I bitched out but I'm a do it this time,
Man forget it, we both know I'm not,
I just say that stupid shit cause I'm so low on gaup,
But for real tho, God man you have to help me out, cause I know the road I'm rolling on is not a healthy route,
From now to back to the day I was a little kid, shit didn't brighten up a little bit,
Now wouldn't you be a little pissed if this was you,
Yeah I'm cursing this the truth,
Looks like I'm a have to resort to violence to get the loot,

[Chorus:]
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
I'm a tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right),
Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P,
Thank you for listening to my story (alright)
