As he grew up, Stone had his feet in the worlds of music and sports, pursuing a basketball career as well as playing piano and drums. Though he received an offer to play ball for a junior college in Iowa, he was asked to open at a show just weeks before he would leave for school, and it sparked a love for performance that made it an easy choice to focus on his rap career. In 2007, Stone signed on with Ruthless Records, which released his debut, New Kid Coming, in 2009. Not long afterwards, the MC left the label to join up with Tech N9ne's Strange Music, which was fast making a name for itself as a giant in the independent rap world. Strange Music's emphasis on touring was a perfect fit for Stone, who loved performance, and the label's knack for connecting with its fans helped him grow as a rapper. His second album, the more personal Rollin' Stone, arrived on Strange in 2012.

My Life
Stevie Stone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I travel this road and that this road
Unfolding its cold but I'm holy
Need a sacrifice you know, livin' a life
To make the peep coly

Story of my life
My life

Yeah, I been writing this one for a year or two
Sittin' here, smokin' what know i been through
Rely on my dream, thoughts want to continue
To my loves one, I hope this one don’t offend you
As a kid Momma taught me how to withstand the weather
Daddy said life will be trails at first it will make you better
Took it by money and woman, niggas is out to get me
Cost for detraction, the 'clipse and glam on my back are with me

Is what a crystal would see
A trapped in a hole, no turning around
Liftin' my head above ground nigga
Its destine to be, I can fix the goal
Since I dot the one, who die within me, ridin' me turning on the heat

There's a fork in every road
North short cut, live up turn on stone
Envision it right, get prettied right
I givin' you the story my
Story of my

Story of my life
My life

Been ridin' down this one way lately
I found myself in middle of g
I'm missin' all my kids growing on grief day
Daddy's already doing this all for you
Cant justify my time for no money
Sacrifice was made, is true
But I want to let you know, I’ll never leave you lonely
When far out thousand miles away from you
Been long since the deal, body said she don't feel like
Found away for us to break through, tryin'a hold tears back

Pourin' my heart out as I write
90 miles for hour thinkin' as i travel through the night
Envision it right, get prettied right
I givin' you the story of my
Story of my

Story of my life
My life

Story of my life!
