Making up Stories
Here, I'll tell you how I got sober, man, let's just
We'll get into it
You know I've been talking about it for a while and there's never
Like, a right time to talk about that sorta thing
But I do wanna be able to share it with you guys
Because sometime people ask about it and wonder what's up and then
I'll just tell you how I got into that
I was born, I was born
My father was, uh, A old man my dad was 70 years old when I was born
And my mother was 32 and they had four children
You know, when I was born I think there was, um
Shame or uncertainty by my parents
They had me call my dad by his first name
Instead of calling him Dad because, I guess
Maybe they got, you know, a lotta, you know
Strange looks from people or, or judgment
And maybe they felt like that was a way
That would make it easier on them and maybe on us too
But my father was very old when I was born
As I started to get to know him
I was just kinda scared because you know, he was a senior citizen then
He just kept getting older
Like, as I was getting older, he was getting older
And I remember walking to church one time and I had to, like, walk him
Like, make sure he was okay where he was stepping
And so it just made me
I think, hyper aware when I was really young
I was very aware and my mother worked a lot
And she wasn't really connected to me
You know, she just worked a lot and she had to work
You know, she had had four children
And my parents got divorced and we moved to, like, a poor area
And I guess I just started to feel, like, ashamed
You know, I felt ashamed of the fact that my family was poor
I felt ashamed that my dad was old
You know, couldn't be, like, as much a part of my life In a lotta ways
Because, physically, it was hampering to him
And then because my parents were separated and
And then he wasn't around
And, you know, I, I
I started making up stories
Making up stories
(Ooh) I would tell people stories
To make my life different than it was
I started making up stories
Making up stories
(Ooh) I would tell people stories
To make my life different than it was
I started making up stories
Making up stories
(Ooh) I would tell people stories
To make my life different than it was
I started making up stories
Making up stories
(Ooh) I would tell people stories
To make my life different than it was
