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]
