[00:00.450]My Story -Kero One
[00:01.820]And its like that I'm telling ya
[00:03.810]That's the way it went down down down
[00:06.800]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[00:09.40]The truth is out my story is found
[00:11.850]And its like that I'm telling ya
[00:13.770]That's the way it went down down down
[00:16.778]And its like that I'm telling ya
[00:18.957]Yo the truth is out
[00:21.526]Its way past my curfew in an emcee circle
[00:24.384]Rhyme dispersal the ones without rehearsal
[00:26.862]And if Pops found me Id get smacked hard
[00:29.250]By that tree branch from my own backyard
[00:31.596]Cause it was all about textbooks and grades with As
[00:34.476]Some hard to juggle as
[00:35.556]A hiphop slaveskating on pave
[00:37.345]Or lounging after school with my crew
[00:39.84]Writing tags on the bus
[00:40.644]Or finding ways to rock a shoe
[00:41.954]Paying dues no return
[00:43.142]No concern back then
[00:44.432]Like fat kids in lunch lines
[00:45.972]At shows packed in
[00:47.42]For rhyme battles with ill
[00:48.502]Punch lines at crunch tI'me
[00:49.871]By unknown emcees thinking
[00:51.280]Why arent they signed
[00:52.250]Then Id pick up a pen and express
[00:54.710]Rhymes were nonsense
[00:55.539]But nonetheless were off my chest
[00:56.919]While some thought
[00:57.799]I should stop wasting my breath
[01:00.28]Dent on confidence I put my pen to rest
[01:02.838]So whats left but getting high every day
[01:04.928]Rolling blunts with vegas
[01:06.268]Smoking profit away
[01:07.438]Cypress Hill on play
[01:08.367]Singing stoned is the way
[01:11.247]Singing stoned is the way
[01:13.167]And its like that I'm telling ya
[01:15.27]That's the way it went down down down
[01:17.986]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[01:20.426]The truth is out my story is found
[01:23.306]And its like that I'm telling ya
[01:25.285]That's the way it went down down down
[01:28.124]And its like that I'm telling ya
[01:30.363]Yo the truth is out
[01:32.942]And with mad smoke came
[01:33.960]The need for entertainment
[01:35.689]But Hiphop radio
[01:37.249]Playing some strange hits
[01:38.189]Clubs gettin closed
[01:39.329]Cause money was tight
[01:40.568]Folks would rather find some ***
[01:41.747]Than that hiphop trash
[01:42.766]And can I blame I'm Sayin'
[01:44.394]Things were rock bottom
[01:45.704]With exceptions of few
[01:46.884]My head was rarely nodding
[01:48.163]So I got in a zone and blew
[01:49.571]The dust off my notepad
[01:51.39]Arm wrestled with words
[01:52.89]Struggled with vocab
[01:53.508]Then wrote slowly steadily
[01:55.277]Some some
[01:56.87]If lyrics were harsh the
[01:57.366]Beats had to be bumping
[01:58.575]No frontin right off
[01:59.873]The bat some turned their backs
[02:00.943]But many felt the same
[02:01.913]Which put my name on the map
[02:03.513]And brought me down my coast
[02:04.903]Japan and back
[02:05.942]Mad support from locals cats
[02:07.571]Like homies at Stacks
[02:08.701]With blunts burnt out
[02:09.621]At the end of its road
[02:11.201]Blazing trails on a spiritual path
[02:12.910]With new goals
[02:14.10]And That's how it went
[02:15.109]How the plot unfolds
[02:16.397]They asked about
[02:17.07]The story so let it be told say
[02:19.307]That's how it went how the plot unfolds
[02:21.635]They asked about the story
[02:24.535]And its like that I'm telling ya
[02:26.404]That's the way it went down down down
[02:29.573]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[02:31.902]The truth is out my story is found
[02:34.722]And its like that I'm telling ya
[02:36.662]That's the way it went down down down
[02:39.672]And its like that I'm

[02:43.841]Breakdown my this
[02:46.710]Come on
[02:54.210]Just like this show
[03:12.533]Check it out zhou
[03:14.893]I said one for free cans
[03:16.631]And two for mean streaks
[03:18.240]That's the very track that
[03:19.120]Put my past in the streets
[03:20.420]Deejays copped doubles
[03:21.539]To juggle the beats
[03:22.799]Using language that
[03:23.568]Managed to let their hands speak
[03:25.167]To peeps that showed love
[03:26.277]But not all felt this rhyme sayer
[03:28.416]Non believers killing
[03:29.325]Vibes like Cal Tjader
[03:30.713]Cause of my race or
[03:31.903]The way I appeared
[03:32.963]But still I ran the race
[03:34.72]When placed to the rear
[03:35.272]I'magine a gook a youth
[03:36.812]Jumped by truth
[03:38.21]Kicked out spots at age
[03:39.221]Five cause eyes looked glued
[03:40.341]Mentally struck forget
[03:41.731]Peaches and cream and such
[03:43.171]But it built my biceps and today I lift up
[03:45.229]Jotting down facts and
[03:46.349]Pouring out my soul in these raps
[03:48.189]Fingers crossed till herds
[03:49.49]Are left with words that last
[03:50.609]And beats that make
[03:51.678]Dancers put soul in their movements
[03:53.207]Wreckin shop from the bay
[03:54.836]La back to Brooklyn
[03:55.876]Kids scratch temples
[03:57.125]Scientists bite fists
[03:58.725]Keros on the scene
[03:59.744]Shining light through mist
[04:00.783]Cause if I'm not fueling
[04:01.952]The flame I'm like a puppet
[04:03.472]My mouth might move
[04:04.801]But I aint Sayin'nothing
[04:06.319]So stay tuned to see how this ends
[04:08.536]Sayin'peace sincerely yours
