Damon Elliott - Story Of Mine lyrics

[Hook] Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P I'mma tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right) Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P Pay attention closely to my story (alright) [Verse 1] Mommy never had sh**, neither did pop And that's exactly the reason he beat her a lot So sh**, as a kid I had to be a cheater and rob Dealing with all of the consequences of me getting caught Life appeared to be cool when I was young cause I ain't notice things Rent was paid every month with no problems so it seems And as I got older I would catch on to things Then I start to notice that sh** ain't the way its 'posed to be Come to find out we've been up in a rut My mom feeling like she got a knife stuck in the gut And dad tripping out for no reason, cussin and stuff I'm trying hard, s**ing it up like f** it, it s**s And Christmas in our household was not that popular Cause all I ever received was socks and boxers My friend got a Power Rangers toy and a Mega-Zoid It was official, mark it on our f**ing family record: poor [Hook] [Verse 2] When I was 17 my dad moved out He refused to try help us get a brand new house So that just me, my mom and my sister And it was up to me to be the man to polish our future We was slowly falling apart I felt the pain all in my heart When my mom would go and crawl in the dark And cry lungs her out cause she knew that our good times is up now I ain't know how to deal with none of it, I was strung out Finally my 18th birthday hit I would had left, but I had to help her pay rent My homies got their own place, they living very nice Sipping on some Bacardi and throwing parties every night They mom buying cars, new 3-50 Z's Well my moms in debt, at least 50 G's That means I have to work harder just to get by, cause if I don't we'll be struggling for the rest of our life, f** [Hook] [Verse 3] God I hate to cuss to you, but I hate my f**ing life Nothing's right it's cold in my world, it's never summer time It is a test? Giving me this mediocre lifestyle If I'mma get it then it needs to happen right now I'm one week away from jumping off a cliff Or putting heat up to my head, and then dumping off a clip I know you think I'm just lying, cause last time I stood next to a cliff side, I b**hed out but I'mma do it this time Man forget, we both know I'm not I just say that stupid sh** cause I'm so low on gaup But for real tho, god man you have to help me out, cause I know the road I'm rolling on is not a healthy route From now to back to the day I was a little kid, sh** didn't brighten up a little bit Now wouldn't you be a little pissed if this was you Yeah I'm cursing and it's the truth Looks like I'mma have to resort to violence to get the loot [Hook 2] Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P I'mma tell y'all a story of mine about how the lord put the weight on me (that's right) Y'all now in the place to be and you rocking with the H-O-P Thank you for listening to my story (alright)
