Truth About Me lyrics

Ayo cuz
When y`all tellin folk... about my life
I don`t want y`all to add nothing
I don`t want y`all to take nothing away
I want y`all to play that thang
Just like this here...
Ya heard me

[Petey]
Since the tender age (since the tender age)
I been running wild (I been running wild)
I seen all those things (all those things)
You don`t show to a child
It wasn`t love I was missing (lord knows)
My folks cared for me
I had a stubborn ass attitude (did what I wanna do)
And y`all couldn`t talk to me
Tried often the strait and narrow
But every time I would stumble and fall
Fell so hard one time I fucked around and stayed down
I don`t wanna try no more
I was getting a little older
Those mistakes were a part of my life
And my only regret is that I only get one chance to get it right

[Chorus]
And I wanna tell the world the truth about me [2x]
(listen to the song...)

[Petey]
I caused more unnecessary stress to my mama than the word allow
Old sister of mine
I had once upon a time
We ain`t spoke in a while
Life`s been hard on me
But I found a way to keep standing it
And holding on (holding on)
Pressing on (good God almighty)
Standing in jail someday I`ll break the monotony
Cause Petey wasn`t doing that well
And I can behold a way that the world christened me
... If anybody give a damn to know
What really went on in my life I wrote a song

[chorus]
[voice talking]
It is now gallow time
All inmates are asked to get on your assigned bunks and
Remain there until count time is made....count time...
Olden... (yeah)
Williams... (here)
