Truth be told
I aint ask for the life i'm livin
I aint have a part in this decision
All I could do was roll with the punches
and play the hand that i was given

Truth be told
I don't feel the need to live like a star
all i need is my health
all i need is my self
but wit my girl it aint as hard

Truth be told
I never thought i'd live to see twenty
live to be 20
i'm almost 21
but already done lived to see plenty

Truth be told
This gang shit aint for everyone
I might like it but this bloodshed aint never fun
from the cops we had to run
all cuz we HAD to pop our gun

Truth be told
I aint ask to be street nicca
Or to have to keep heat nicca
have to hustle to eat nicca
but i am and i do cuz life aint eva sweet nicca

Truth be told
this is just my thoughts and my mentals
my mind, my life, my faults that i give you
an expose' of the way im livin
gettin my plan together cuz the street aint offerin pension

Truth be told
I could prolly be the greatest rapper if i talk about me
but one my faults downs me, i always seem to doubt me
I act like i cant spit but my homies always out me
am i the only one who dont see star quality about me

But on the real
thats just the way that i feel
I gotta stop trippin and start reachin for the platinum and gold
Or I aint never gon amount to shit
TRUTH BE TOLD!!!
