Ayo cuz
When y'all tellin folk... about my life
I don't want y'all to add nothing

I don't want y'all to take nothing away
I want y'all to play that thang
Just like this here...

Ya heard me

[Petey]

Since the tender age (since the tender age)
I been running wild (I been running wild)
I seen all those things (all those things)

You don't show to a child
It wasn't love I was missing (lord knows)
My folks cared for me

I had a stubborn $$# attitude (did what I wanna do)
And y'all couldn't talk to me
Tried often the strait and narrow

But every time I would stumble and fall
Fell so hard one time I $#&@ed around and stayed down
I don't wanna try no more

I was getting a little older
Those mistakes were a part of my life
And my only regret is that I only get one chance to get it right


[Chorus]
And I wanna tell the world the truth about me [2x]

(listen to the song...)

[Petey]

I caused more unnecessary stress to my mama than the word allow
Old sister of mine
I had once upon a time

We ain't spoke in a while
Life's been hard on me
But I found a way to keep standing it

And holding on (holding on)
Pressing on (good God almighty)
Standing in jail someday I'll break the monotony

Cause Petey wasn't doing that well
And I can behold a way that the world christened me
... If anybody give a damn to know

What really went on in my life I wrote a song

[chorus]

[voice talking]
It is now gallow time
All inmates are asked to get on your $$#igned bunks and

Remain there until count time is made....count time...
Olden... (yeah)
Williams... (here)

Monroe... (yo)
Durant... (here)
Pablo... Pablo.....


[Petey]
Man I was just one of the ones

That always wounded up in the midst of something
Stayed in trouble if I won't $#&@in' up
I love ( I love) to bring the pain

Growing up in Greenville, North Carolina outside of Rocky Mount
I'm a be on the winning side
When this whole life decide to give me just a little money

You can sell it bootleg just as long as you can get it
Whatever...just understand me


[Chorus]
