Ne-Yo - Non-Fiction lyrics

The story you 'bout to
Hear is complete fiction
It is however made up of a group of stories
True stories about real people
Thus creating real characters going
Through real things
Thus making the story it'self real
True and a real story a true story
Is non-fiction

Our story begins in a dark place
A place where you learn that
Everything that you wanted
Could potentially be the very thing
That leads to your destruction
The very thing you should fear
This is a lesson learned the hard way
Experience being the only teacher
I mean you can't exactly tell a
Broke man that money is evil
And expect him to listen to you now can you?
Naw he's got to go down that road
He's got to face them demons himself
Before he can acquire that knowledge
The money solves one group of problems
Only to introduce another
Strangers become friends
Friends become enemies
The fame, just like any other drug
Feels incredible
Until you realize that all that adoration
All that love, ain't real and the women
Huh, the women
A drug you use that uses you right back
A high for a high so to speak
Which brings us to Tammy
