My Story (Original Session) chords by Kero One
Verse 1
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya,
Dm
C
that's the way it went down, down, down
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya, yo,
Dm
the truth is out, my story is found
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya,
Am
Dm
that's the way it went down, down, down
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya,
F
Dm
yo, the truth is out
D
Dm
D
It's way past my curfew in an MC circle,
Dm
ROM dispersal,
F
the ones without rehearsal
D
Dm
D
Dm
And if P .S. found me, I'd get smack hard
By that tree branch from my
F
own backyard
Dm
Cause it was all about textbooks
and grades with A's
D
Dm
Some hard to juggle as
a hip -hop slave
Skatin' on pave,
loungin' after school with my crew
D
Dm
Writing tags on the bus
F
Dm
or finding ways to rock a shoe
D
Payin' dues, no return,
no concern back then
F
Dm
Like fat kids in lunch lines
or shows packed in
D
For rhyme battles with ill punchlines
Dm
F
A crunch time by unknown MCs
Thinkin' why ain't they signed?
D
Then I'd pick up a pen and express
C
Rhymes are nonsense
Dm
F
but none the less are off my chest
D
While some thought I should stop,
wasting breath
C
F
Dent on confidence, I put my pen to rest
D
So what's left but getting
high everyday
C
Dm
Rolling blunts in Vegas,
smoking profit away
C
D
Cypress Hill on play,
singing stoned is the way
C
G
F
Yeah, singing stoned is the way
D
And it's like that, I'm telling ya
Dm
That's the way it went down,
C
down, down
D
And it's like that, I'm telling ya
Dm
Yo the truth is out, my story is found
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya,
G
F
Dm
that's the way it went down,
C
down, down
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya,
Dm
your rap truth is out,
that's the way it went down
F
And with Matt Smoak
Dm
came the need for entertainment,
but hip -hop radio?
F
Playin' some strange shit,
D
clubs gettin' closed cause
Dm
money was tight
D
Dm
Folks would rather find some ass
F
Dm
in the hip -hop trash and
D
can I blame em?
Dm
Sayin' things are rock bottom
D
Dm
with exceptions, a few
F
My head was rarely noddin'
Dm
Am
Dm
D
Dm
so I got in a zone that blew the dust off my notepad arm wrestle with words,
F
struggle with vocab,
D
G
then wrote, slowly, steadily, some, some,
Dm
if lyrics were harsh,
F
Dm
the beats had to be bumpin,
D
no frontin, right off the bat,
Dm
some turned their backs,
F
but many felt the same,
which put my name on the map,
D
and brought me down my coast,
japan and back,
C
Gsus4
mad support from local cats,
Dm
G
like homies and stacks,
D
with blunts burned out,
at the end of its road,
C
placing trails on a spiritual path,
F
with new goals,
D
an d that's how it went,
how the plot unfolds,
C
Dm
they asked about the story, so let
C
D
And be told saying,
that's how it went,
how the plot unfolds
G
F
They asked about the story
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya
Dm
That's the way it went down... down,
C
down
D
And it's like that, I'm tellin' ya
Dm
C
Yo the truth is out, my story is bound
D
And it's like that I'm tellin' ya
Dm
That's the way it went down,
C
down, down
D
And it's like that I'm tellin' ya
Dm
Yo the truth is out
D
Break it down like this
Gsus4
Am
Dsus4

F
D
F

D
I said 1 for free cans
D
and 2 for mean streets
C
That's the track to put my
F
past in the streets
D
Dm
D
DJ's cop doubles to juggle the beats
Dm
Using language that managed to
F
Dm
D
let the hands speak to peeps
F
That show love but not all
Bb
D
fuckers rhyme say -er
F
Non -believers killing
vibes like Cal Jader
D
Cause I'm a race of the way I appeared
D
Dm
But still I ran the race,
F
C
went place to the rear
D
Imagine a gook in youth,
Dm
jumped by truth
G
F
Kicked out spots at age 5
Dm
cause I was a lewd
D
Mentally struck,
Dm
forget peaches and cream and such
But it built my biceps,
F
and today I lift up
D
Jotting down facts,
and pouring out my soul in these raps
C
Fingers crossed all herds are left
Dm
F
with words that last
D
And beats that make dancers
kick flow with the movements
C
Records shot from the bay,
F
L .A. back to Brooklyn
D
Kids scratch Temple,
scientists bite fists
C
Kyril's on the scene,
Dm
C
shining light through mist
D
Cause if I'm not fueling the flame
C
I'm like a puppet, my mouth might move
F
D
But I ain't saying nothing, so stay tuned
To see how this ends
Dm
Saying peace, Cecilia,
it's till we meet again
D
Saying peace, till we meet again
Dm
Saying peace, yeah,
D
and its like that , I'm telling ya
Dm
That's the way it went down,
C
down, down
D
And its like that I'm telling ya
Dm
Yo the truth is out, my story is found
D
And its like that I'm telling ya
Dm
That's the way it went down,
F
C
down, down
D
And its like that I'm telling ya
Dm
