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)

Monroe... (yo)

Durant... (here)

Pablo... Pablo.....



[Petey]

Man I was just one of the ones

That always wounded up in the midst of something

Stayed in trouble if I won't fuckin' up

I love ( I love) to bring the pain

Growing up in Greenville, North Carolina outside of Rocky Mount

I'm a be on the winning side

When this whole life decide to give me just a little money

You can sell it bootleg just as long as you can get it

Whatever...just understand me



[Chorus
