My Truth (Only In) Lyrics

Know who I am

Brown kid raised in the slums

Didn't understand why my momma struggled wit funds

Up in private

Twist my fingers

Like to emulate thugs

I lived a reckless life

Immersed myself in the drugs

Was sexing sexy ladies

Ain't no need to be cautious

Take a view into my soul

Let my words be my portrait

Stayed

Stagnant for years

Stuck in muck and the mire

I faced my inner demons

Consequences that dire

Used to get picked on and bullied

By this name kid named Willy

We fought all the time

Eventually figured he would kill me

A couple goons would chase me

And I'd run to my building

My sister would defend me

She much tougher than I

It's crazy how my family

We suffer divide

So much for being blood

Guess we suffer from pride

Only in America

Only in America

Only in America

Only in America

Not feeling what they telling ya

Tell on myself

That's the way that I heal

Gotta keep it 100

Man despite how you feel

Went to school

Ain't a fool

Got grades that decent

But still I dropped out

Found excuse and some reasons

Fell in love a couple times

That first time was the worst

She wasn't mine to claim

Second time even worse

I caught some hands

As a man that was rough

Third time

Had her hand

It was tough we gave up

Felt all alone

Use my vice as a crutch

Wit the choices that I made

Should be dead or in prison

Had a suicidal mind

Would stare at knives in the kitchen

Violence in my mind

Couldn't silence the voices

Pass along my struggles

And my problems I foisted

Stuck in my way

True solutions avoided

I've been cheated and I've cheated

Cycle of abuse

I lived to just repeat it

Stolen time and objects

Had a triple x obsess

Liquor liquor liquor

Perfect meds for my problems

Lying to myself

And I'm lying to others

Lying by myself

Headed nowhere fast

Just a kid playing games

Drawn to destruction

Like a moth to a flame

Only in America

Only in America

Only in America

Only in America

Not feeling what they telling ya

Tell on myself

That's the way that I heal

Gotta keep it 100

Man despite how you might feel

Only in America

Only in America

Only in America

Not feeling what they telling ya

Tell on myself

That's the way that I heal

Gotta keep it 100

Man despite how you might feel
