[00:00:03] I swear to tell the truth and nothin but the truth

[00:00:07] So help me GOD

[00:00:12] I just felt like tellin the story of my life

[00:00:15] Felt like maybe somebody could be inspired you know

[00:00:26] But it's time to overcome all that

[00:00:29] If your plane crashed in the water and everybody died

[00:00:31] Would you drown on purpose or try to survive

[00:00:33] I was born handicapped my arm wouldn't move

[00:01:12] She said "I ain't takin these whippin's no mo'

[00:01:15] I wanna live to see my little Todd grow"

[00:01:17] I remember tear drops on my pops face

[00:01:44] Was a fathe

[00:01:46] My pops got drunk when me and my moms bounced

[00:01:49] Swigged some Jack Dan' sniffed up a ounce

[00:01:51] Grabbed the shotty left Long Isle for Queens

[00:01:54] Possesed by a demon a devil it seemed

[00:01:57] I was too young to understand the risk

[00:01:59] When your moms come home off the midnight shift

[00:02:01] She turned around heard the shotgun click

[00:02:03] My pops said "You think that you could leave me "

[00:02:07] He blasted my moms in the back

[00:02:08] She fell down screamin I can't forget that

[00:02:11] My grandfather tried to close the do'

[00:02:13] He got shot ten times in the stomach yo for real

[00:02:35] My head was spinnin I had never seen blood

[00:02:37] Four years old this don't feel like love

[00:02:40] Anyway pops dissapeared

[00:02:42] Grandpops and moms healed up over the years

[00:02:45] This therapist got up in her head

[00:02:47] Led her to believe without him she'd be dead

[00:02:50] You know they fell in love with one another

[00:02:52] Everything seemed right that's word to mother

[00:02:55] Until I started gettin beatings everday

[00:02:57] Sometimes for going outside to play

[00:02:59] Late at night on my knees I'd pray

[00:03:02] A young child wishin the pain would go away

[00:03:04] Dad where was you when he made me strip

[00:03:07] Beat with belts like a slave with a whip

[00:03:09] Kicked me down steps outside in the snow

[00:03:11] Punched me in the chest stomped me out on the flo'

[00:03:14] That's just the tip of the iceberg look

[00:03:16] It's too long for a song but perfect for a book

[00:03:21] Word is bond that's real baby

[00:03:24] All I ever wanted

[00:03:26] All I ever wanted

[00:03:39] Was a fathe
