My Story - Kero One
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya yo
The truth is out my story is found
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya
Yo the truth is out
Its way past my curfew in an emcee circle
Rhyme dispersal the ones without rehearsal
And if Pops found me Id get smacked hard
By that tree branch from my own backyard
Cause it was all about textbooks and grades with As
Some hard to juggle as
A hiphop slaveskating on pave
Or lounging after school with my crew
Writing tags on the bus
Or finding ways to rock a shoe
Paying dues no return
No concern back then
Like fat kids in lunch lines
At shows packed in
For rhyme battles with ill
Punch lines at crunch tI'me
By unknown emcees thinking
Why arent they signed
Then Id pick up a pen and express
Rhymes were nonsense
But nonetheless were off my chest
While some thought
I should stop wasting my breath
Dent on confidence I put my pen to rest
So whats left but getting high every day
Rolling blunts with vegas
Smoking profit away
Cypress Hill on play
Singing stoned is the way
Singing stoned is the way
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya yo
The truth is out my story is found
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya
Yo the truth is out
And with mad smoke came
The need for entertainment
But Hiphop radio
Playing some strange hits
Clubs gettin closed
Cause money was tight
Folks would rather find some ass
Than that hiphop trash
And can I blame I'm Sayin'
Things were rock bottom
With exceptions of few
My head was rarely nodding
So I got in a zone and blew
The dust off my notepad
Arm wrestled with words
Struggled with vocab
Then wrote slowly steadily
Some some
If lyrics were harsh the
Beats had to be bumping
No frontin right off
The bat some turned their backs
But many felt the same
Which put my name on the map
And brought me down my coast
Japan and back
Mad support from locals cats
Like homies at Stacks
With blunts burnt out
At the end of its road
Blazing trails on a spiritual path
With new goals
And That's how it went
How the plot unfolds
They asked about
The story so let it be told say
That's how it went how the plot unfolds
They asked about the story
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya yo
The truth is out my story is found
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm
Telling ya yo the truth is out
Breakdown my this
Come on
Just like this show
Check it out zhou
I said one for free cans
And two for mean streaks
That's the very track that
Put my past in the streets
Deejays copped doubles
To juggle the beats
Using language that
Managed to let their hands speak
To peeps that showed love
But not all felt this rhyme sayer
Non believers killing
Vibes like Cal Tjader
Cause of my race or
The way I appeared
But still I ran the race
When placed to the rear
I'magine a gook a youth
Jumped by truth
Kicked out spots at age
Five cause eyes looked glued
Mentally struck forget
Peaches and cream and such
But it built my biceps and today I lift up
Jotting down facts and
Pouring out my soul in these raps
Fingers crossed till herds
Are left with words that last
And beats that make
Dancers put soul in their movements
Wreckin shop from the bay
La back to Brooklyn
Kids scratch temples
Scientists bite fists
Keros on the scene
Shining light through mist
Cause if I'm not fueling
The flame I'm like a puppet
My mouth might move
But I aint Sayin' nothing
So stay tuned to see how this ends
Sayin' peace sincerely yours
Till we meet again
Sayin' peace till we meet again
Sayin' peace
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya yo
The truth is out my story is found
And its like that I'm telling ya
That's the way it went down down down
And its like that I'm telling ya
Yo the truth is out
My story is found
