Truth about me lyrics

Artist  : Petey pablo 
Song : Truth about me
 
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]
