The Story

[Verse 1]

Like a child born into the world so cold

No one to hear him cry

Momma's gone

He learns the evil ways of the street

Change to an animal kill or be killed

Typical scenario

You know the drill

It's an urban tragedy

I hope he lives to be a man

I hope he lives to see his babies grow

The story goes and life unfolds

The answers told and everybody knows

Everybody knows

Was made a fraud of love

Hopeless and shamed

A girl would learn to heal. She took a chance

She fell so deep in love

Home at last

Till old jealous past showed up and crashed the party

Blood on the dance floor

Love got machine gun bloody

He said that he would always be the one

He said that he would never let her go

The story goes

The story goes

The story goes

And life unfolds, the answers told

And everybody knows, everybody knows

The Story goes, the story goes

Everybody, and everybody knows
