Petey Pablo - Truth About Me lyrics

Ayo cuz 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 a** attitude (did what I wanna 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 f**ed around and stayed down I don't wanna 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 wanna 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 a**igned 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 f**in' 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]
