Oh baby it's been so...
Yeah
Long...
True
A lotta rappers be lyin', man
(Yeah)
Scared to face the reality of truth
Yeah, it's true
Check me, check me, yo
I didn't have the drive
To put in time
To keep hoop dreams alive
I was busy with the women
Thinkin' I was livin'
All the while slippin'
Losin' stride, uh
I used to hustle, baggin' up weed
But wasn't smart enough to separate
My wants from needs
I was smokin' with the crew for fun
All the while losin' funds
Burnin' all my tree
I tried to be a thug
Fightin' with mothafuckas and tearin' up the club
I don't know what it was
I needed that direction
To deal with my aggression
Instead of pullin' weapons
Squeezin' slugs, uh
Yeah I was broke
Rarely had dope
We had to ante up smoke
Sayin' what I wrote with hope
I told myself, "You want change, that's cool
Remember change starts with you"
It's true...
Yeah, it's true
Yeah, it's true
It's true
It's true
Yeah, it's true
It's true
Yo, yo
It's true
I didn't have the discipline to stick with it
To be a football star,
Experimentin' with the bottle
Ignorin' positive role models
Plus my homeboy had a car, shit
Yeah we was ghost
Visitin' chicks, skippin' school
At the time, I thought it was cool
Shit, I had an older woman, but didn't know nothin'
She had another man, I was just a fool, fuck it
I tried college
Mama said "Son, you gotta do better"
Kicked out first semester
Beefin' with the locals over stuff
That I didn't give a fuck about
What they did, so we bucked it out
Too much pride
To let somebody's bullshit ride
So I would happily shoot the five
Yeah, I needed change but I had to tell myself
"You want change, you start with you"
It's true...
Yeah, it's true
Yeah, it's true
It's true
It's true
Yeah, it's true
It's true
It's true
That's that realness
Dice Game
It's true
