Aasim - My Story Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uh, 1978 made my first great escape
In the life, '80s drug baby, murderous paradise
South Queens a shit stain, sewers is overflooded
Roaches and rose in the kitchen covers
Grew amongst bitter black women, niggas crack pitchin'
And pissy avenues let you know that you home
Up the block, 40 Projects visits, I got jumped
Waitin' for the school bus, that made my skin tougher, listen
My grandfather was a cokehead
I guess that's why I fiend for better, prepare for the worst, whatevеr
All my mom's ever did was be a kid to slavе
Had various little jobs for minimum wage, hurt
Her and my pops ain't work, almost resented my faith
'Cause I resembled the nigga she loved to hate
A jailbird womanizer, now he's a cancer survivor
Life is funny like that, you never know

[Chorus]
Tellin' my story, it's soundin' crazy
I realize that it's an every day life
I take my time, tell you right
Take my time, tell you right

[Verse 2]
Uh, I could've been a loser, a drug abuser for what it's worth
My grandmother gave my pops away at birth, why?
'Cause his skin was too dark, so Nana Katy raised him
Can't fault him for bein' for the way he is
Mom's replaced him, told me stories
Sayin' a real man would've been there for me
So at age fifteen, I ran away to a crackhead's crib
Crack baby runnin' 'round, shitty diaper, and dirty bib
The next day, I got fed up and rolled out
Roy smoked angel dust and shot up his own house
Crack vials and used condoms on the grounds I walk
Around New York struggle surrounds my thoughts
Used to steal out of Witty's social security money
Never got to tell her 'cause God took her away from me
Now I look at the sky knowin' she up in the clouds
I hope in due time I make you proud
[Chorus]
Tellin' my story, it's soundin' crazy
I realize that it's an every day life
I take my time, tell you right
Take my time, tell you right
Tellin' my story, it's soundin' crazy
I realize that it's an every day life
I take my time, tell you right
Take my time, tell you right
Tellin' my story, it's soundin' crazy
I realize that it's an every day life
I take my time, tell you right
Take my time, tell you right
