Knox - True Story (Like Water) lyrics

Yeah i couldn't sleep
I couldn't sleep so I wrote a song
True story

Sorry for the absence i've been tripping
Talking about things that I don't
Really wish to dip in listen:
I'm not the one to hold you to your flaws
Cause I easily get lost
In the jaws of the beast
He's the force that caused me
To ignore my beliefs
As I feast on this literature -
She's on the brink of her second abortion
Her uncle Johnny forced his in her
Now she's sick and intuition is a little much
Crushed, by the weight of her dreams
She pleases G's by the bridge
For a minimum fee
Crushed, another Xanny to numb her
From head to feet
Crushed, another roach as her
Wooden floor creaks
And the neighbours aren't asleep yet
She can hear it through the wallpaper
Every cough every secret
Every kick he delivers when
He's off the liquor
And she's the only one near

My palm shivers as I write this
(True story, true, true story)

My palm shivers as I write (beatboxing)

Focused on the craft since a little kid
He would dream of mars in his bars
But they laughed every time he spitted
Rhymes littered with a false image
Cars, bitches
And riches that he had never seen
But he met a queen, seventeen
She was everything he needed
Two-fifteen, they would meet up by
The pharmacy at Hidas
And they would hit up the trees
And talk about their beliefs
Before they split up he was from the suburbs
She was from the Tura he was living easy
She always had to zula
But she inspired his raps, became truer
The story about her uncle almost
Turned him to shooter
Intruders in her life made him loyal to her
Dreams to be a lawyer
He always focused on the bigger picture
I always keep a picture i won't forget her
Hope heavens better, you're my Coretta
