See I ain't ever gonna change People know I keep it real The story of my life Ain't afraid to tell the tale I'm livin' good Wish all the people do the same I would never wish for life to ever go a different way See growing up as just a young'n life was blissful and free Went to the music store with mom on every Friday you see We used to play the flyest records on our bar with the lights, That flashed when you played some music, they were awfully tight The neighbors had a large dog his name was King you know He had us frightened when we saw him on the streets on his own Loved those sweet potato pies that my mother would bake We never had a lot of money but our family was straight I ain't ever gonna change People know I keep it real The story of my life Ain't afraid to tell the tale I'm livin' good Wish all the people do the same I would never wish for life to ever go a different way We had the music and the talent, ladies love me in fact But I was clueless, keeping my distance was shy being fat But when I built a little courage I believed in my charm I started talking to them ladies on the street of Tremont My mother taught every thing she knew 'bout life and the girls My father taught to be cool and how to fight in this world I learned my knowledge from my momma and the college I attended But she always kept me grounded through providing me lessons I ain't ever gonna change People know I keep it real The story of my life Ain't afraid to tell the tale I'm livin' good Wish all the people do the same I would never wish for life to ever go a different way I gained my passion for the music from the lyrics and beats From Heatwave, Frankie Bev and then AWB My first hooptie at 16 I saw the planet unfold Very broke but educated could succeed on my own Playing football in the streets and basketball at Douglass park Remember when I had to always walk to work with no car My brother rolled up in the Skylark from 78 Rolling through Trues super-fly wit 4 seats in the frame I ain't ever gonna change People know I keep it real The story of my life Ain't afraid to tell the tale I'm livin' good Wish all the people do the same I would never wish for life to ever go a different way Oh, you thought I was finished? Man, spin that record back real quick I gotta finish my story We used to do a lot of work on every part of the whip All in the driveway cause I ain't have a dollar to spend We had em 6x9 speakers they were boomin in fact Them Alpines they let the city know just where we were at From playing tag in the streets Feeling that family peace The homies coming to my crib to have a holiday feast All of these memories I hold have led to me being great I had a lot of true supporters keeping me in good shape
