Verse 1



Either the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat



you either got ends or struggle to make ends meet



You can either turn square or keep the mind of a rebel



some uppity livin' good some faced with death in the ghetto



I'm a product of the streets so I vow to never slip



so I trust no one and keep a P. Coltrane on my hip



I always paid attention while my O.G's was teachin'



Rule number one if it's on blast the first nigga reachin'



either death or the pen' shit I had to do better



It was a must I moved on and now I'm all about cheddar



a young entrepreneur I rather slang than bang



now girls be like you go Mack 10 baby do yo thang



So I continue to get down and I keep writin' rhymes



and I parlay every dollar to flip at least a hundred times



So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory



and everything I recite's Based On A True Story




Chorus



You can feel nigga



It's based on a true story



You know it's real nigga



Based on a true story




Verse 2



The year 1986 is when it all started



now eleven years later we still rough and cold hearted



and as the saga continues I ride the wave like a Sea Doo

already sold a mil'



So before you knock our style



at least admit that it's
