Lyricist: Composer:
The story you 'bout to hear is complete fiction
It is however made up of a group of stories,
true stories about real people
Thus creating real characters going through real thi
ngs
Thus making the story itself real,
true and a real story, a true story, is non-fiction
Our story begins in a dark place
A place where you learn that everything that you wan
ted
could potentially be the very thing
that leads to your destruction
The very thing you should fear
This is a lesson learned the hard way,
experience being the only teacher
I mean you can't exactly tell a broke man
that money is evil
and expect him to listen to you now can you?
Naw he's got to go down that road,
he's got to face them demons himself
before he can acquire that knowledge
The money
solves one group of problems only to introduce anoth
er
Strangers become friends, friends become enemies
The fame, just like any other drug feels incredible
until you realize all that adoration, all that love,
ain't real
And the women, huh, the women,
a drug you use that uses you right back
A high for a high so to speak
Which brings us to Tammy
