[00:00.00]My Story - Kero One
[00:01.82]And its like that I'm telling ya
[00:03.81]That's the way it went down down down
[00:06.80]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[00:09.04]The truth is out my story is found
[00:11.85]And its like that I'm telling ya
[00:13.77]That's the way it went down down down
[00:16.77]And its like that I'm telling ya
[00:18.95]Yo the truth is out
[00:21.52]Its way past my curfew in an emcee circle
[00:24.38]Rhyme dispersal the ones without rehearsal
[00:26.86]And if Pops found me Id get smacked hard
[00:29.25]By that tree branch from my own backyard
[00:31.59]Cause it was all about textbooks and grades with As
[00:34.47]Some hard to juggle as
[00:35.55]A hiphop slaveskating on pave
[00:37.34]Or lounging after school with my crew
[00:39.08]Writing tags on the bus
[00:40.64]Or finding ways to rock a shoe
[00:41.95]Paying dues no return
[00:43.14]No concern back then
[00:44.43]Like fat kids in lunch lines
[00:45.97]At shows packed in
[00:47.04]For rhyme battles with ill
[00:48.50]Punch lines at crunch tI'me
[00:49.87]By unknown emcees thinking
[00:51.28]Why arent they signed
[00:52.25]Then Id pick up a pen and express
[00:54.71]Rhymes were nonsense
[00:55.53]But nonetheless were off my chest
[00:56.91]While some thought
[00:57.79]I should stop wasting my breath
[01:00.02]Dent on confidence I put my pen to rest
[01:02.83]So whats left but getting high every day
[01:04.92]Rolling blunts with vegas
[01:06.26]Smoking profit away
[01:07.43]Cypress Hill on play
[01:08.36]Singing stoned is the way
[01:11.24]Singing stoned is the way
[01:13.16]And its like that I'm telling ya
[01:15.02]That's the way it went down down down
[01:17.98]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[01:20.42]The truth is out my story is found
[01:23.30]And its like that I'm telling ya
[01:25.28]That's the way it went down down down
[01:28.12]And its like that I'm telling ya
[01:30.36]Yo the truth is out
[01:32.94]And with mad smoke came
[01:33.96]The need for entertainment
[01:35.68]But Hiphop radio
[01:37.24]Playing some strange hits
[01:38.18]Clubs gettin closed
[01:39.32]Cause money was tight
[01:40.56]Folks would rather find some ass
[01:41.74]Than that hiphop trash
[01:42.76]And can I blame I'm Sayin'
[01:44.39]Things were rock bottom
[01:45.70]With exceptions of few
[01:46.88]My head was rarely nodding
[01:48.16]So I got in a zone and blew
[01:49.57]The dust off my notepad
[01:51.03]Arm wrestled with words
[01:52.08]Struggled with vocab
[01:53.50]Then wrote slowly steadily
[01:55.27]Some some
[01:56.08]If lyrics were harsh the
[01:57.36]Beats had to be bumping
[01:58.57]No frontin right off
[01:59.87]The bat some turned their backs
[02:00.94]But many felt the same
[02:01.91]Which put my name on the map
[02:03.51]And brought me down my coast
[02:04.90]Japan and back
[02:05.94]Mad support from locals cats
[02:07.57]Like homies at Stacks
[02:08.70]With blunts burnt out
[02:09.62]At the end of its road
[02:11.20]Blazing trails on a spiritual path
[02:12.91]With new goals
[02:14.01]And That's how it went
[02:15.10]How the plot unfolds
[02:16.39]They asked about
[02:17.00]The story so let it be told say
[02:19.30]That's how it went how the plot unfolds
[02:21.63]They asked about the story
[02:24.53]And its like that I'm telling ya
[02:26.40]That's the way it went down down down
[02:29.57]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[02:31.90]The truth is out my story is found
[02:34.72]And its like that I'm telling ya
[02:36.66]That's the way it went down down down
[02:39.67]And its like that I'm
[02:40.97]Telling ya yo the truth is out
[02:43.84]Breakdown my this
[02:46.71]Come on
[02:54.21]Just like this show
[03:12.53]Check it out zhou
[03:14.89]I said one for free cans
[03:16.63]And two for mean streaks
[03:18.24]That's the very track that
[03:19.12]Put my past in the streets
[03:20.42]Deejays copped doubles
[03:21.53]To juggle the beats
[03:22.79]Using language that
[03:23.56]Managed to let their hands speak
[03:25.16]To peeps that showed love
[03:26.27]But not all felt this rhyme sayer
[03:28.41]Non believers killing
[03:29.32]Vibes like Cal Tjader
[03:30.71]Cause of my race or
[03:31.90]The way I appeared
[03:32.96]But still I ran the race
[03:34.07]When placed to the rear
[03:35.27]I'magine a gook a youth
[03:36.81]Jumped by truth
[03:38.02]Kicked out spots at age
[03:39.22]Five cause eyes looked glued
[03:40.34]Mentally struck forget
[03:41.73]Peaches and cream and such
[03:43.17]But it built my biceps and today I lift up
[03:45.22]Jotting down facts and
[03:46.34]Pouring out my soul in these raps
[03:48.18]Fingers crossed till herds
[03:49.04]Are left with words that last
[03:50.60]And beats that make
[03:51.67]Dancers put soul in their movements
[03:53.20]Wreckin shop from the bay
[03:54.83]La back to Brooklyn
[03:55.87]Kids scratch temples
[03:57.12]Scientists bite fists
[03:58.72]Keros on the scene
[03:59.74]Shining light through mist
[04:00.78]Cause if I'm not fueling
[04:01.95]The flame I'm like a puppet
[04:03.47]My mouth might move
[04:04.80]But I aint Sayin' nothing
[04:06.31]So stay tuned to see how this ends
[04:08.53]Sayin' peace sincerely yours
[04:10.29]Till we meet again
[04:11.18]Sayin' peace till we meet again
[04:13.58]Sayin' peace
[04:16.81]And its like that I'm telling ya
[04:18.65]That's the way it went down down down
[04:21.79]And its like that I'm telling ya yo
[04:24.26]The truth is out my story is found
[04:27.06]And its like that I'm telling ya
