True Story, when I was 17

lyrics

lyrics
[verse 1]

I never felt like I fit in,
but I had the car and let the gangbangers get in,
now we movin' round the city lookin for enemies,
I only hung out with crips cause one was kin to me,
they told me, you the driver you just sit in the car,
we gon be right back, you just stay where you are,
now I don't know what went down in that backyard,
I never asked it was clear I only had one job,
so now we back travelin'
thought I would look cooler if I drove a little faster then,
there goes the boys in blue,
I did my best to duck 'em but that shit didn't work,
I hit a corna', one of the homies had to toss out his work,
they pull us ova'
I put on my best innocent suburban voice
they put them on the curb and searched em
I wasn't nervous though
they let us go, I just took 'em back to the set
I didn't earn no street credit, I just made them upset
true story

true story (repeats 3x)

[verse 2]

Our parents set us down at the dinner table,
Dad said I've been cheating for some time now,
I had to respect the brutal honesty,
right before my mind started shutting down,
Mom said kids tell your father how you feel,
she never asked us how we felt,
Pops said they shouldn't be feeling anything,
he never asked us how we felt,
that summer he took a job out in Culver City,
a second story addition, for an old friend,
he dropped me off in the green mercedes,
the same one that he rented to see his girlfriend,
me and my siblings never talk about it,
it's just this thin line we keep walkin round it,
and now that i've thought about it,
I've only told one other person 'fore I wrote this song about it
true story
