Story Video (MV)

He was born in the triple 0
Older brother, two parents, just a young boy
Small town, small house
Trouble maker, always running around
Moving on, he got another sibling
Move to a bigger house, bigger place than he was living
Realize kids in school just hate
Hate what they say, hate going to that place every day
Just ain't great, he don't wanna stay
Go home, parents say, "only focus on your grades"
He wants to go outside, have fun and play
But the kids at recess always pushing him away
Middle school, play a couple sports here and there
Honors classes, do others hw, starts to know life ain't fair
He got a job cuz he wanted to own something, anything
Do something, escape life and own a thing
Happiness isn't what money brings
He figures that out after blowing everything
They don't see his story they don't see his mind
They don't see the steps taken they just see the smile
They don't see the work they just see the clothes
They just judge the boy before they get to know
They don't get to know how he just wants to hang
With the homies, with the friends when they hit him up with the plans
They don't get to know that there's more underneath
If they got to know his story then they would know him
High school now, he's getting kinda nervous
But it's just a fly by, learning is just learning
Freshman year then next as a sophomore
Started writing figured out there's gotta be more
More to a social life, more to life in general
Made beats on GarageBand on his iPhone
Put the words together, didn't know what for
He said I'll try this out, but I gotta do it more
Met someone, showed him how to love
Lost his friends, was it worth it, never mind that's enough
Whole year went by for him really fast
Senior year stay quiet, found out the hard way that depression lasts
Time goes by now he's on stage with some paper
He's gotta figure out his future, doesn't know if he's able
He started with the rap cuz he thought with that
It would help him, help him clean up his act
This isn't the end of the story
Just put this in the beginning category
They don't see his story they don't see his mind
They don't see the steps taken they just see the smile
They don't see the work they just see the clothes
They just judge the boy before they get to know
They don't get to know how he just wants to hang
With the homies, with the friends when they hit him up with the plans
They don't get to know that there's more underneath
If they got to know his story then they would know him
They don't see his story they don't see his mind
They don't see the steps taken they just see the smile
They don't see the work they just see the clothes
They just judge the boy before they get to know
They don't get to know how he just wants to hang
With the homies, with the friends when they hit him up with the plans
They don't get to know that there's more underneath
If they got to know his story then they would know him
Life isn't everything I want it to be
I'm not living a dream
This isn't the end of the story
Just put this in the beginning category
This is the beginning of the story
He was born in the triple 0
