Ayo cuz |
|
When y'all tellin folk... about my life |
|
I don't want y'all to add nothing |
|
I don't want y'all to take nothing away |
|
I want y'all to play that thang |
|
Just like this here... |
|
Ya heard me |
|
[petey] |
|
Since the tender age (since the tender age) |
|
I been running wild (i been running wild) |
|
I seen all those things (all those things) |
|
You don't show to a child |
|
It wasn't love i was missing (lord knows) |
|
My folks cared for me |
|
I had a stubborn ass attitude (did what i wanna do) |
|
And y'all couldn't talk to me |
|
Tried often the strait and narrow |
|
But every time i would stumble and fall |
|
Fell so hard one time i fucked around and stayed down |
|
I don't wanna try no more |
|
I was getting a little older |
|
Those mistakes were a part of my life |
|
And my only regret is that i only get one chance to get it right |
|
[chorus] |
|
And i wanna tell the world the truth about me (2x) |
|
(listen to the song...) |
|
[petey] |
|
I caused more unnecessary stress to my mama than the word allow |
|
Old sister of mine |
|
I had once upon a time |
|
We ain't spoke in a while |
|
Life's been hard on me |
|
But i found a way to keep standing it |
|
And holding on (holding on) |
|
Pressing on (good god almighty) |
|
Standing in jail someday i'll break the monotony |
|
Cause petey wasn't doing that well |
|
And i can behold a way that the world christened me |
|
... if anybody give a damn to know |
|
What really went on in my life i wrote a song |
|
[chorus] |
|
[voice talking] |
|
It is now gallow time |
|
All inmates are asked to get on your assigned bunks and |
|
Remain there until count time is made....count time... |
|
Olden... (yeah) |
|
Williams... (here) |
|
Monroe... (yo) |
|
Durant... (here) |
|
Pablo... pablo..... |
|
[petey] |
|
Man i was just one of the ones |
|
That always wounded up in the midst of something |
|
Stayed in trouble if i won't fuckin' up |
|
I love ( i love) to bring the pain |
|
Growing up in greenville, north carolina outside of rocky mount |
|
I'm a be on the winning side |
|
When this whole life decide to give me just a little money |
|
You can sell it bootleg just as long as you can get it |
|
Whatever...just understand me |
|
[chorus] |
