Hopsin - Story of Mine lyrics

Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
I'ma tell y'all a story of mine about how
The lord put the weight on me (that's right)
Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
Pay attention closely to my story (alright)

Mommy never had shit, neither did pop
And that's exactly the reason that
He beat her a lot so shit
As a kid I had to be a cheater and rob
Dealing with all of the consequences
Of me getting caught
Life appeared to be cool when I was
Young 'cause I ain't notice things
Rent was paid every month with
No problems so it seems
And as I got older I would catch on to things
Then I start to notice that shit ain't
The way it's 'posed to be


Come to find out we’ve been up in a rut
My mom feeling like she got a
Knife stuck in the gut
And dad tripping out for no reason
Cussin' and stuff
I'm trying hard, sucking it
Up like, "Fuck it, it's us"
And Christmas in our household
Was not that popular
'Cause all I ever received
Was socks and boxers
My friend got a Power Rangers
Toy and a Mega-Zoid it was official
Mark it on our fucking family record: poor

Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
I'ma tell y'all a story of mine about how
The lord put the weight on me (that's right)
Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
Pay attention closely to my story (alright)

When I was 17 my dad moved out
He refused to try and help us
Get a brand new house
So that just left me, my mom and my sister
And it was up to me to be
The man to polish our future
We was slowly falling apart
I felt the pain all in my heart
When my mom would go and crawl in the dark
And cry her lungs out 'cause she knew
That our good times is up now
I ain't know how to deal with none of it
I was strung out
Finally my 18th birthday hit
I would've left
But I had to help her pay rent
My homies got their own place
They living very nice
Sipping on some Bacardi and
Throwing parties every night
They mom buying cars, new 3-50 Z's
While my mom's in debt, at least 50 G's
That means I got to work
Harder just to get by
'Cause if I don't we'll be struggling
For the rest of our life, fuck

Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
I'ma tell y'all a story of mine about how
The lord put the weight on me (that's right)
Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
Pay attention closely to my story (alright)

God I hate to cuss to you
But I hate my fucking life
Nothing's right, it's cold in my world
It's never summer time is it a test? Giving
Me this mediocre lifestyle
If I'ma get it then what
Needs to happen right now
I'm one week away from jumping off a cliff
Or putting heat up to my head
And then dumping off a clip
I know you think I'm just lying
'cause last time
I stood next to a cliff side
I bitched out but I'ma do it this time
Man forget it, we both know I'm not
I just say that stupid shit because
I'm so low on guap but for real though
God man you've got to help me out
'Cause, I know the road I'm rolling
On is not a healthy route
From now back to the day I was a little kid
Shit ain't even brighten up a little bit
Now wouldn't you be just a little
Pissed if this was you
Yeah I'm cursed and it's the truth
Looks like I'ma have to resort to
Violence to get the loot

Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
I'ma tell y'all a story of mine about how
The lord put the weight on me (that's right)
Y'all now in the place to be
Yeah you rocking with the H-O-P
Thank you for listening to my story (alright)
