My Story Lyrics - Singles - Kero One

(Verse 1) 

Its way past my curfew in an emcee circle 

rhyme dispersal, the ones without rehearsal 

and if Pops found me, Id get smacked hard 

by that tree branch from my own backyard 

cause it was all about textbooks and grades with As 

something hard to juggle as a hiphop slave 

skating on pave, or lounging after school with my crew 

writing tags on the bus, or finding ways to rock a shoe 

paying dues no return no concern back then 

like fat kids in lunch lines at shows packed in 

for rhyme battles with ill punch lines at crunch time 

by unknown emcees thinking why arent they signed? 

then Id pick up a pen and express 

rhymes were nonsense but nonetheless were off my chest 

while some thought I should stop wasting my breath 

dent on confidence I put my pen to rest 

so whats left but getting high every day 

rolling blunts with vegas, smoking profit away 

Cypress Hill on play singing stoned is the way 

singing stoned is the way 

(chorus) 

And its like that Im telling ya 

Thats the way it went down, down down 

And its like that Im telling ya yo the truth is out my story is found 

And its like that Im telling ya 

Thats the way it went down, down down 

And its like that Im telling ya, yo the truth is out 

My story is found.. 

(Verse 2) 

And with mad smoke came the need for entertainment 

But Hiphop radio was now playing some strange hits 

clubs gettin closed, cause money was tight 

folks would rather find some ass.. than that hiphop trash 

and can I blame em? Im sayin, things were rock bottom 

With exceptions of few, my head was rarely nodding 

So I got in a zone and blew the dust off my notepad 

Arm wrestled with words, struggled with vocab 

then wrote, slowly steadily something something 

if lyrics were harsh the beats had to be bumping 

no frontin, right off the bat some turned their backs 

but many felt the same which put my name on the map 

and brought me down my coast , Japan and back 

mad support from locals cats, like homies at Stacks 

with blunts burnt out at the end of its road 

blazing trails on a spiritual path, with new goals 

and thats how it went how the plot unfolds 

they asked about the story so let it be told 

(chorus) 

And its like that Im telling ya 

Thats the way it went down, down down 

And its like that Im telling ya yo the truth is out my story is found 

And its like that Im telling ya 

Thats the way it went down, down down 

And its like that Im telling ya, yo the truth is out 

My story is found..
