"Story To Be Told" lyrics

I licked envelopes, wrote a letter to the pope
He never gave me rope in the times I couldn't cope
He never gave me rope in the times I couldn't cope
They cleaned up the dope and censored my scope
The writing on the wall's been beaten to a pulp
The writing on the wall's been beaten to a pulp

All I ever wanted was my story to be told
All I ever wanted was my story to be told

I never got struck by someone in my core
I never took back that joint I rolled
What happened now to that truth I told?
Do they all roll over and die in the cold?

All I ever wanted was my story to be told
All I ever wanted was my story to be told

A skateboard rolled, a lightning bolt
It's droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault
It's droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault
And maybe I am floored but it needs to be told

All I ever wanted was my story to be told
All I—all I ever wanted was my story to be told, ah
