My Story
R Kelly Feat. 2 Chainz Lyrics

(Yea) This is my story, yeah, I'm from that Chi-town dirt
I'm telling my life's story, coming from a tough background in Chicago.

I went from being broke to sleeping in Versace shirts
From financially struggling to wearing expensive designer clothes.

(Yea) This is my story, money, cars, bad hoes
My story is about money, cars, and women.

And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
I'm staying true to my story.

Came from humble beginnings now I'm c***y with my spending
I started with very little, but now I'm confident and spend money extravagantly.

They say "life is just a game" and I thank God that I'm winning
People say life is like a game, and I'm grateful that I'm successful in it.

Models roll my indo, I beat the p****, Django
I smoke marijuana with beautiful models while having sex with them like the main character in the movie Django Unchained.

Them n****s talking money, I got more digits in my gate code
Other people talk about money, but I have more digits in my gate code than they do, indicating my wealth.

She make a pole disappear like hocus pocus (Hocus pocus, pocus)
She's a skilled stripper who can make the pole she dances with disappear like magic.

You're ain't never gon' find another n**** this focused (Focused)
No one is as focused as I am.

I got every block, every street corners sold up (Up)
I own every block and street corner in my area.

Whatever club represent my city, throw it up (Up)
I'm loyal to my city and will show my support at any club that represents it.

I own the game, coach slash player sho 'nough
I'm both the coach and player in my game, undoubtedly.

Okay, haters throw fitted never showed up, yup
I'm not bothered by my haters who don't have the courage to show up and confront me.

(2 Chainz) And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
2 Chainz is also staying true to his story.

Velcro, I'm sticking to it, hatin', I've been a victim to it
I'm sticking to my story like Velcro, and I've been a victim of people's hatred and criticism.

Your conversation is sanitation, ain't no hesitation when I finna do it
Your talk is garbage, and I won't hesitate to take action when necessary.

I stick it in (Uh) switch it up and try to hit a friend (Uh)
I have sex and switch partners.

Live it up and count my dividends, roll, like cinnamon
I enjoy life and count my profits, rolling money like cinnamon rolls.

Whoa, big face Benjamin's
I have a lot of hundred dollar bills.

And she looked at me like you ain't nothin' but a star
A woman looks at me as a big celebrity.

I looked at her like this ain't nothin' but a car
I don't hold material possessions in high regard, they are just objects to me.

if you ride with them you ain't going that far
If you associate with certain people, you won't be successful.

But if you ride with me (Me)
But if you invest in me, you'll be successful.

Crib so big we can play hide-and-seek (Play hide-and-seek)
My house is so large that we can play hide-and-seek in it.

You can confide to me, ride me like I ride the beat
Women can trust and depend on me, as I ride them like I do the beat of a song.

Pilot seat, I need a co-pilot (Tell 'em), kiss a a** in both mouths (Tru)
I'm in control, but I need someone to help me navigate. I demand loyalty and people to kiss my butt.

Yeah I'm talking both lips, what you know 'bout boat trips?
I'm talking about kissing someone's butt with both sets of the lips, and asking what others know about taking luxurious boat trips.

Drop her a** at the Chocolate Factory (Chocolate Factory)
I'm taking her to a place where we can have sex (likely referring to a hotel or my recording studio).

(Yeah) We did them 12 Play's
We had sex multiple times, alluding to R Kelly's 1993 album '12 Play.'

(Yeah) And you know who you is girl,
You know who you are, girl.

We been f***in' since the 12th grade, goddamn (Goddamn)
We've been having sex since high school.

Pull up to the club at about three (Uh huh)
I go to the club at three in the morning.

I'm killin' it, guilty no plea (Uh huh)
I'm having a great time, so much that it's criminal (as in, too much fun to possibly be legal).

I'm leaving out at 6 with a dime piece
I exit the club at 6 with a very attractive woman.

By 9 o'clock, we on round three
We've already had sex three times by 9 am.

I speak of rain they say I'm crazy like they didn't know
When I talk about making it rain (throwing money), people think I'm crazy - when it's something I've been known for doing.

See I'm not crazy but my talent, man, got bipolar
I'm not crazy, but my talent and success fluctuate like bipolar disorder.

Say she's a church girl but man she's blowing holy smokes
She may claim to be religious, but she performs sexual acts that go against those beliefs.

Showed her the Jesus piece now she got the Holy Ghost
After I showed her my expensive Jesus necklace, now she's acting like she's been filled with religious fervor.

They asked 'em in a interview, "Why do he love these girls?"
In an interview, they asked me why I love women.

The only thing he had to say was, "Motherf*** the world!"
The only answer I had was to curse the world, indicating that I don't need a reason to love women. (Note: this line is often seen as insinuating that R. Kelly is dismissive of the question and doesn't actually have a good answer for why he is attracted to young women.)
