XV - Tell-All lyrics

FMG [HOOK] See I could tell you how to hustle (I could never tell it all) I could tell you how to ball (I could never tell it all) I could tell you 'bout the struggle (I could never tell it all) Cause I done been through it all (I could never tell it all) I could tell you 'bout the rise (I could never tell it all) I could tell you 'bout the fall (I could never tell it all) I could tell you everything (I could never tell it all) But I could never tell it all (I could never tell it all) No, I could never tell it all [Verse 1] A hero is born, July 9, '85 Fifteen years later, had my mind on the grind Came out of Kansas but I made my own lane Now I'm cruising down this thang on the my 35 Feel like it hasn't been hard in this life of mine My rap sheets look neat without a life of crime Mom can't find the phone, pops can't find the time Sometimes I got through the nights just by writing rhymes I finalize this new script that I got in mind And shorty got a son that wasn't mine Now I gotta shine on my own, rise on my own In the dark, had to find a light on my own The aftermath of when the levee break Mind flooded with thoughts make a n***a meditate Instead I vacate like I'm Chevy Chase Get bread and cake, come back and show'em how to bake [Hook] [Verse 2] Never broke down for dollars, I hardly change at all Still f**ing with p**n stars, bet I'll name'em all Still in the club, feelin' titties up like a training bra Still waiting on Halle Berry to make the call I've seen it all as I ball, it was crystal clear That my fortune would tell which friends will disappear And start bouncing like the checks on counting Thinkin' you reach your peak cause they ain't seen a tall mountain When it comes to flowin', I chose to become a poet Intrigued by my senses, indulged in the moment Y'all b**hes trying to show up soon as the show end Them hoes been thrown into everybody, hope you know it I bet that b**h could write a tell all book The announcement alone have you rappers all shook And I can't wait to read my chapter cause I bet that's G Never love'em, face f**'em, and that's just me (haha) [Hook]
