Queen Pen - It's True
Growin' up didn't want
to have nothing to do wit' you
Make you hittin' everybody
went to high school wit' you
Wanna play you close and
jump in the pool wit' you
I don't know what to do
but this much is true
And in the hood they
all like to knock your career
And turn right around
when you hot a gear
I played Midas and told
them that it's God I fear
That the man upstairs
he control this here
And it's funny how
soon as the money piles
Everybody wanna play
with that brother now
Run me down
but when the doe gets low
Only a few friends roll you know
And mama bless her heart
she used to give me strife
Said, "Lynisse please
do something with your life"
And how it's gon' play out
I don't have a clue
All I know is this much is true true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
And I remember when
I used to feen for calls
When I hit number one I
had to scream out calls
Used to see my Mama strugglin'
worn from work
Told her when I made it
big she never goin'-a work
I used to wish at night
that my brothers in the street
Hustlin' ****
they would live to the light
And see another day somehow
find another way I vow
To all my soldiers
I hold you down
From standin' in the
rain to the rovers now
I'm screamin' your name to warn you
That the rollers is around
To on-stage throwin' it down
No matter where you
at represent your hood
No matter where I'm
at I'm representing my hood
And how it's gon' all play
out I don't have a clue
All I know is this
much is true true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
I've opened up my eyes
to a brighter day
Nobody in the block
gave their life away
We all tryin' to take it easily
And everybody wanna
make it seems is free
Today it's all good
and it seems so strange
Since you look up in
the hood now things done changed
Kids they used to be
wheelies for blocks
Is out ridin' their bikes
doin' wheelies for blocks
And ******* on the bench
still gossipin' who's she slidin' in
Who's she slidin' with
outside partyin'
Old timers in the
back playin' dominoes
Kids freestyling
all kinds of flows
Girls flow through
with designer clothes
It's day now but you
know how nighttime goes
And how it's gon' play
out I don't have a clue
All I know is this much is true true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
You know it's true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
A ha ha ha ha
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
