It`s True Lyrics

It`s True lyrics

f/ Richard Stites



Intro:

Yeah, it's 97 going into 98

And I've been doin' this for mad years, payin' dues

This is my heart, my purpose in life

And finally I'm on

Which brings me to realise that the tough life that I had only made me 

stronger, ...TRUE



Chorus: Richard Stites

A ha ha ha ha

I know this much is true

A ha ha ha ha

I know this much is true



Verse One:

Growin' up didn't want to have nothing to do wit' you

Make you hittin' everybody went to high school wit' you

Wanna play you close and jump in the pool wit' you

I don't know what to do but this much is true

And in the hood, they all like to knock your career

And turn right around when you hot a gear

I played Midas and told them that it's God I fear

That the man upstairs, he control this here

And it's funny how, soon as the money piles

Everybody wanna play with that brother now

Run me down, but when the doe gets low, only a few friends roll, you know

And Mama, bless her heart, she used to give me strife

Said "Lynisse, please do something with your life"

And how it's gon' play out, I don't have a clue

All I know is this much is true, ...TRUE



Repeat Chorus:



Verse Two:

And I remember when, I used to feen for calls

When I hit number one I had to scream out calls

Used to see my Mama strugglin', worn from work

Told her when I made it big she never goin-a work

I used to wish at night that my brothers in the street

Hustlin', shit, they would live to the light

And see another day somehow, find another way I vow

To all my soldiers I hold you down

>From standin' in the rain to the rovers now

I'm screamin your name to warn you that the rollers is around

To on-stage throwin' it down

No matter where you at represent your hood

No matter where I'm at I'm representing my hood

And how it's gon' all play out I don't have a clue

All I know is this much is true, ...TRUE



Repeat Chorus:



Verse Three:

I've opened up my eyes to a brighter day

Nobody in the block gave their life away

We all tryin' to take it easily

And everybody wanna make it seems is free

Today it's all good and it seemes so strange

Since you look up in the hood now things done changed

Kids they used to be wheelies for blocks,

Is out ridin' their bikes, doin' wheelies for blocks

And bitches on the bench, still gossipin', who's she slidin' in

Who's she slidin' with, outside partyin'

Old timers in the back playin' dominoes

Kids freestyling, all kinds of flows

Girls flow through with designer clothes

It's day now but you know how nightime goes

And how it's gon' play out I don't have a clue

All I know is this much is true... TRUE



Repeat Chorus Untill End...



...you know it's TRUE!
