My Story
P-Folks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Five years ago... with my same flow
A lot corny rappers too jealous to even know
So I decided to part ways and now the Obvious remains
Describin’ me is ratin’ me a 5 on a rap rubric
Life stories I use it to express with this music
The purpose of this art form is not just to make that green like your lawn
But to create a hip hop bond
But that’s just the way I’m gettin’ down
From here and beyond... fuck the silver and the bronze
I want the gold and that’s it... the Obvious is on some shit
That’s probably what your sayin’ in the cut is where I’m always laying
Makin’ these hot rhymes while these corny rappers is always playin’
My job is rap all day and everyday
Just take a seat my nigga and stay the fuck up out my way
My story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
Sometimes my story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
Sometimes my story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
Sometimes my story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
A lot of these rhymes were created from pain
New ways of doin’ things... I can’t do it the same
I could tell you probably didn’t really plan your whole album
You was probably pissed off high and free-stylin’
I got more rhymes in me and more shit to talk about
A lot of stuff to help alleviate your doubt
A clouded backdrop fills all your empty thoughts
And makes you wanna hate on this fly shit I bought
My story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
Sometimes my story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
Sometimes my story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
Sometimes my story needs better clarity
It's just another day you watchin' TV
On MSNBC
