Story of My Life

Lyrics

[Chorus: Merecco Turner] When I was a young man 19 and used to hustle in the street Was all about making green But I was living the good life Fast cars and lotta women Didn't love so I made 'em cry And when I got older I used to tear the clubs up Bottle after bottle, model after model But now the best story of my life Is my pretty little girl and my beautiful wife [Verse 1: Papoose] I used to see weddin' pictures on the wall My parents looked happy I said, "When I grow up one day, I'm gettin' married" Hangin' in the hood I was dragged into it They said bitches ain't shit, a bad influence Broke hearts, got my heart broken: true karma Had to have a talk with myself like, "You smarter" The OGs were sayin' these girls ain't loyal Get locked, they won't do nothin' for you But when I went to the male facility to visit my friends It was overcrowded with women visitin' 'em Went to the female facility to visit my wife, it was deserted No man visited and that hurted When I see that, I transformed my vision I realized some of these men are the real bitches The hood taught us wrong, ain't want us to be supreme My daughter is the princess, my wife is the queen [Chorus: Merecco Turner] When I was a young man 19 and used to hustle in the street Was all about making green But I was living the good life Fast cars and lotta women Didn't love so I made 'em cry And when I got older I used to tear the clubs up Bottle after bottle, model after model But now the best story of my life Is raising my little man and my beautiful wife [Verse 2: Mysonne] It's Mysonne I was plottin', makin' plans up, tryna get my bands up Runnin' 'round on these streets and I got jammed up Then I came home, I was out here tearin' the land up 'Til I met my wife, had kids, I had to man up I had to stand up and raise my kings (God) Understand a nigga ain't got wings But I'm tryna move righteously, conscious be fightin' me The Devil playground, he just keep invitin' me The OGs enlightened me, how to move my honor Played by the rules, I'm tryna improve my karma This year, I swear, I'ma move my mama To a big house out somewhere in Florida I swear I'ma give her all the stuff I promised her My wife held me down so I gotta acknowledge her I'm out here grindin' for my legacy So when I'm gone the world gon' remember me [Chorus: Merecco Turner] When I was a young man 19 and used to hustle in the street Was all about making green But I was living the good life Fast cars and lotta women Didn't love so I made 'em cry And when I got older I used to tear the clubs up Bottle after bottle, model after model But now the best story of my life Is raising my little man and my beautiful wife [Verse 3: AZ] Uh, the culture create menaces The drop on the Roadster, so venomous Rose as a soldier, I was into shit Bands, had the benefit, ran through them tenements Taught by the teachers the techniques The reefer, the neckpiece, new sneakers, the best freaks Fresh on the reg since Pro-Keds It's blessed to be said, I'm an old head Po' dead, the dog Seven restin' in Heaven Me and Marl, we still brethrens, the last of the livin' legends Lost in the sauce, now on my Deen Was all off course, I was a fiend Fiend for the women and cream, but when you king And, knowledge intervenes, everything ain't what it seems Truth be real, the juice is spilled And that unconditional love's the only proof that's real [Chorus: Merecco Turner] When I was a young man 19 and used to hustle in the street Was all about making green But I was living the good life Fast cars and lotta women Didn't love so I made 'em cry And when I got older I used to tear the clubs up Bottle after bottle, model after model But now the best story of my life Is my pretty little girl and my beautiful wife
