Truth About Me Lyrics - Diary Of A Sinner: 1st Entry - Petey Pablo

Ayo 'cause 

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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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]
