"THE STORY" lyrics
Let's go
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real life
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real life
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real
Lyin' awake in my bed, the truth is scary at times
It's safer to stay in my head
I'll make a plan and imagine this shit that had happened
I'm basically playin' pretend
I don't know when I'ma do it
And then when I finally get to it, I say it depends
Yesterday, I said tomorrow and now it's tomorrow
And I say tomorrow again
I'm finally fed up, finally sick of this shit, I'ma get up
Tempo is tickin', it's quicker than ever
I gotta switch it, I'm pickin' the pen up
I got it clickin' like it's a Beretta
They gotta listen to get on my level
How'd I forget I'm the best in the business?
How can the kid even get any better?
Yeah, now I remember I found my identity soon as I'm talkin' my shit again
The house I'm livin' in, 2.2, got a pool I never go swimmin' in
I'm double-checkin' the check, it's a hundred percent 'cause I cut out the middleman
Takin' my bitch to Dominican
When I get back, my skin tone cinnamon
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
It's all a façade, it's fiction
Plantin' a seed to doubtin' in drought is makin' it come to fruition
I been in pursuit of perfection, when I reflect, it never existed
Just me and the man in the mirror
I can't let the fear interfere with the vision
Just give it some time (Give it some time)
You'll find out the story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real life
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
Way, way, way too much, thinkin' not enough
Been doin' roll call, I do not see 'em
Y'all be talkin' like you wanna build with me
You can't even build shit from IKEA, yeah
I made a killin' in the last five years
When it come to what's real, I would say we just got real different ideas
I'm not even rockin' a chain no more, except it look good on the camera
Still got a hunnid and ten on my neck, I'm flexin' the key on the lanyard
I'm always up in the bar-for-bar's, I'm tired of settin' the standard
Too many rhymes, sometimes I'm shuttin' my eyes and pickin' at random
Just give it some time (Give it some time)
You'll find out the story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real life
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real life
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
The story you tellin' yourself is a lie
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real life
"Based on a true story" doesn't make it real
Lyin' awake in my bed, the truth is scary at times
It's safer to stay in my head
