Prince (The Truth)

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This how it feel when change is coming
When you losing sleep at night
But it's cool you need the night
Cause you get your peace at night
Cause that's when you see the light
Cause you know you need to write
And you know you need it right
I done got into so much
I ain't want to grow up
Knowing I can't repeat this life
My momma gave me a decent life
It's probably why I ain't achieve in life
She was just trying to be everything to me that she didn't have
She knew abuse
She knew neglect
So she get a pass
She was the blacksheep
Could never compete with the love that her ma was so vocal about for her younger bro
My grandmomma went to her grave with so many answers her daughter want to know
Like why'd you resent me so much
Is it cause my pop left
Did you even take any time to process
That it wasn't just you who got left

And I'm looking back like

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

Yeah

Fast forward to the present day
Neither my younger bro nor my momma were there when I cut up my wedding cake
I was obsessed with hate
My pops left
Then my pops died
Then she went and moved us across the country away from my pop's side
And I know it was meant to be for the best
So I tried
But damn

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

Yeah

New life
Fresh start
P really should get a headstart
The second where me and my ex part
Is the day that Dai gets more resentment and less heart
Even if I could reset
I'd probably just make another mess
At the same time
I would never be able to grow if I couldn't let go of regret
I'm aware that this trauma could pass and
The goal is to not let it happen
To show that they ain't got to be defined by their past and
To say what I mean and be about action
Not an excuse
To say what I mean and be about action
Not an excuse
The truth
