Story Of My Life

Dreams don't work unless you do
Homie that's something that I'm used to
Growing up man we never had much
Best believe I'll be willing to go through you
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
There were days that I wished I died but
Looking back now what'd my momma say
If I did that homie what'd my daddy do
Kuya Mark might have lost his young bro bro
Looking back now there's too much to lose
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Homie that's the story of my life now

As a kid growing up I used to think
I was never enough
I was too skinny man I was too nerdy
Too poor and too ugly for someone to love
Mama and papa in some ways I failed you
Both of you had high hopes
That I would be an engineer or a lawyer
But I took a different road
High school I chilled with the riffraffs
When I heard 'Pac that's when I'd dig rap
Had no way to vent my feelings
Til Bustarr and I met he gave me a CD of Mixcraft
And I will forever have love for you bro
You went and opened a way
I found a freedom in things that I wrote
It help keep the pain at bay
That's when I figured my calling
Decided I'm all in
Decided this was what I wanted to do
For the rest of my life
And that I wasn't stopping
Shout out to Momo and Jeno, Apo
And the rest of the homies too
Cause even when people had told me to stop
They told me to keep on going
Guess they knew

Dreams don't work unless you do
Homie that's something that I'm used to
Growing up man we never had much
Best believe I'll be willing to go through you
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
There were days that I wished I died but
Looking back now what'd my momma say
If I did that homie what'd my daddy do
Kuya Mark might have lost his young bro bro
Looking back now there's too much to lose
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Homie that's the story of my life now

Put out a lot of songs
Had a lot of hopes
Had to stay strong though
During times I was hella broke
And I still remember
The first time we'd ever gon' headline a stage
That was insane
We spent mad hours and hours to practice
But nobody came
My heart bro was devastated
I was close to being out of patience
Out of plans man and out of angles
I could have stopped and put down the mantle
But I thought of my team
What of their hopes and their dreams
What about all these other Filipino kids
Looking for someone or something to believe
There's days when the grind is rough
All going down not going up
On some days I feel like giving up
But on me they all placed their trust
And sometimes the weight on my shoulder gets heavy
The stress be obstructing my view
My girl would tell me
Don't worry you got this babe I believe in you
I guess she knew

Dreams don't work unless you do
Homie that's something that I'm used to
Growing up man we never had much
Best believe I'll be willing to go through you
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
There were days that I wished I died but
Looking back now what'd my momma say
If I did that homie what'd my daddy do
Kuya Mark might have lost his young bro bro
Looking back now there's too much to lose
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Homie that's the story of my life now

You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life
But it ain't about how hard ya hit
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward

Dreams don't work unless you do
Homie that's something that I'm used to
Growing up man we never had much
Best believe I'll be willing to go through you
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
There were days that I wished I died but
Looking back now what'd my momma say
If I did that homie what'd my daddy do
Kuya Mark might have lost his young bro bro
Looking back now there's too much to lose
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Pare though I ain't gon' lie
Homie that's the story of my life now
