True Story

It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'
It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'

I show respect, so that's what I get back
My life is what I make it and so are my raps
I think before I speak to make sure it's the truth
I don't fabricate stories like police with no proof
I possess skills writing lyrics, so I put them to use
Everything I say is true, it's just as real as abuse
If I can't stand to be around you then I'm throwin' a deuce
I'm just doin' this for fun, I wonder what'll happen
Expressin' my thoughts through this music that you're blastin'
The Slap Master made this beat, that's why it's slappin'
I always re-write, mix it up and practice what I'm rappin'
I try to use words that explain how I feel
This used to be a dream, it's almost surreal
I got inspired by an artist that's been rappin' for years
I never thought that this would happen when I quit drinkin' beer
But now I'm here to tell my story and my vision is clear

It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'
It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'

It was rough growin' up, I was raised by my mom
My dad was an alcoholic, dope fiend, he was gone
A few years back, he finally passed on
His last words to me are tatted on my arm
"Follow God", my daddy always said I was a hog
He's the reason that I fell in love with dogs
And the Oakland Raiders, I said that for the haters
Silver and black, brand new snapback, draft cap
Team name underneath the bill embroidered in black
Sportin' one of many jerseys that match
Three dollar scratcher in my back pocket to scratch
Tryin' to come up legally, stressin' out about cash
I wanna provide for my family, hope I find somethin' fast
Stuck in the recession, how long will it last?
Hopin' to recover like a stock market crash
Better days are comin', I keep the faith on the path

It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'
It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'

Hard times, they happen in life
If my attitude is bad, you won't see nothin' nice
Life is a crapshoot, I'm just rollin' the dice
Spinnin' the reel or the white ball on the wheel
Nothin's guaranteed except death and new bills
I'm stayin' high on life, I don't need to pop pills
To alleviate the pain or mask how I feel
No need to be fake if you're keepin' it real
You gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet
Find a way to come up, some people hustle on the street
Others don't sleep, they're wide awake for weeks
Fryin' their brains and rottin' their teeth
I used to be the same, tryin' to dodge the police
I couldn't find peace of mind, I was broken and weak
But I've turned my life around and flipped over a new leaf
I'm just grateful I can talk and walk on both feet

It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'
It's a true story, there ain't no fakin'
Listen to the lyrics and the license plate shakin'
Speakers in the trunk got the mirrors vibratin'
Bang your head because it slaps and let the track keep playin'
