Akira The Don, Theo Von - True Story lyrics

And, man, it has been a journey
The drugs and alcohol have been whatever
Uh, I don't know if I'll always
Be sober I have no idea
But the thing that keeps me involved is
I get to learn so much about
Myself about loving others about acceptance
It's introduced me to other issues
That I have that you know
Maybe drugs and alcohol aren't even my issue
It's just introduced me into
A world of, like, introspection
Like, for the first time
I can take a look at myself
And I still Look, I got a ton of faults
I'm not but I know that if I stay, like
On this path that things can get better I
Believe that 'cause there's proof for me
You know, my career has gotten better
You know, I've met people that have loved me
You know, i've been in and out or a
Relationship with somebody that loved me
For one of the first times in my
Life that I really felt that
Not that other people hadn't loved
Me in the past but
This was the first time I could feel it
You know, and it's just because something had
Changed Inside of me, you know, where I
Didn't need to just have all the walls
Up or whatever to survive anymore, like
You know
I think my higher power wants to tell
Me, "Look, man, you're gonna
Be okay, you know, you can take a break"
You know anyway, you know
I don't know if I'll always be
A part of this program or not but, you know

For the first time in my life I
Can tell you a true story
Like, this story, like, that's a true story
You know, for the first time in my life I
Can tell you a true story
Like this story, like that's a true story
(True story, true story)
(True story, true story)

You know, all the years of, like
Having to lie and, like
Being ashamed of who I was or what I
Was or anything or anything like that
It's still okay to tell stories
It's okay to create and be
Wanna bring people together and
And be a storyteller and think about
Things and that's all okay, but
For the first time my life I have a
Little bit of a story of my own
You know, and there are moments you know
Not always but there's moments
Where I don't feel
As ashamed of myself as I did for so long
Man you know
I was so ashamed I was so
Ashamed of myself for nothing
Really for nothing
Just because at a young age nobody had told
Me not to be ashamed of myself
You know, nobody had told me, "Hey, man
You're okay"
You know, nobody had told me, "Hey, man
You are okay and you're not a bad person"
You're not a bad person
Because, for so much of my life I
Wanted to know that about myself and
Now I'd go into these rooms and
I hear other people's stories and
And I feel a certain way and
There is proof right there inside of me
Living inside of my body through
Feeling and through love
And that's dope, man shit is fucking dope

For the first time in my life I
Can tell you a true story
Like, this story, like, that's a true story
You know, for the first time in my life I
Can tell you a true story
Like this story, like that's a true story
(True story, true story)
(True story, true story)
