Tell A Story Lyrics - Blue Collar - Rhymefest

This is your life, yo 

You got ups and you got downs, man 

You got downs and you got ups 

We all go through the same thing on different days, man 

Don't act like you ain't like me 

What, you don't put your pants on one leg at a time 

What's going on with you, playa? 

Let me tell you somethin', man 

I'm ready to tell you about 

Your life on this one, look at here 

These the things we all go through 

It's everyday life for me and you 

Don't feel bad, I know you feel bad 

Things that happen everyday 

Around the world or around your way 

We just just tell a story, tell a story 

Where can I start? Start at the part 

Me at the part, playin' this part 

Provin' this role, waitin' on old 

Just got fronted at eight for that blow 

Now you run the pot, watch me rock 

Back on the block with a few in the sock 

Doing the heavy, cops in the Chevy 

Scopin' his every move already 

Smooth and deadly, cool his belly 

Probably get popped right in front of the deli 

The ghetto to mallon, his tools was heavy 

His crew was ready to do whatevy 

Got juice but not tryin' to turn in the power 

Ain't burnin' the pot, now you watchin' me rock 

Chop, drop, swap, we cop, chop, drop, swap, we cop 

Chop, stop, you pop, we cops 

Swallow that working [Incomprehensible] 

Only thirteen, he ain't know what it mean 

But he lovin' the green the American dream 

His momma says stop, his father was hot 

Couldn't just stop 'cause he coulda got shot 

They move him down south to straighten him out 

And he's still selling dope by the big warmer house 

But what you gon' do when it's all up to you? 

Stuck in this cell with nothing to do 

But tell a story, tell a story 

These are the things we all go through 

It's everyday life for me and you 

Don't feel bad, I know you feel bad 

Things that happen everyday 

Around the world or around your way 

We just just tell a story, tell a story 

Jenny was bad, she stayed on suspension 

Hung around guys, she liked that attention 

Give her daddy an honorable mention 

He wrote her letters while he was in prison 

Brother ain't home, momma was gone 

Working them doubles, now she all alone 

Stuck at the crib with no food or a phone 

What you thinkin'? Your girl gon' be on 

Party at Jam's house, people would come 

Sippin' that scissor, hitten them blunts 

Underage kids could come and get drunk 

Did I hit it? Well, maybe just once 

She had a boyfriend, they was in love 

He had a job, he was sellin' the 

Same shit's on the streets 

Now she gettin' two letters a week singin' 

What is the loneliest number that you'll ever do? 

When your looking for love and daddy ain't there to hug 

And two is the loneliest number is as bad as one 

When your hurtin' your soul thinking you're makin' a feelin' at home but 

These are the thing we all go through 

It's everyday life for me and you 

Don't feel bad, I know you feel bad 

Things that happen everyday 

Around the world or around your way 

We just tell a story, tell a story 

This is starting to get old 

Got me feelin' like a whales in fish bowl 

When the city where summers can get cold 

When [Incomprehensible] your home is gonna get stole 

Everybody and your momma got bad credit 

It don't matter, we ball like we athletic 

On the run from the cops till we asthmatic 

In a house with a bill [Incomprehensible] 

This ain't nothin' but life for ghetto youths 

That I'm writing spitting this little booth 

If I lie, I still mix it with little truth 

When I go down, nigga, I'm living proof 

Don't get mad 'cause I'm stuck in this glory 

And y'all rappers ain't go nothing to for me 

But right now, I guess the story's over, story's over 

These are the thing we all go through 

It's everyday life just me and you 

Don't feel bad, I know you feel bad 

Things that happen everyday 

Around the world or around your way 

We just tell a story, tell a story 

These are the thing we all go through 

It's everyday life for me and you 

Don't feel bad, I know you feel bad 

Things that happen everyday 

Around the world or around your way 

We just tell a story, tell a story 

Ryhmefest, a leader of records, man 

We document this story for you 

Puttin' it down, Chicago, ma, ya 

We just tell a story, nigga, don't borey 

We outta here
