All Is True

Yeah

At the age of twelve, momma ran away from home

Broken and alone, left to figure out this world

Cold and confused, crazy how she grew up

Spit on and abused and still able to see her kids and see love through a pure view

Me and my sis grew up pretty close

Was taught to put the family first, if they ain't blood, they the first to go

My momma met my dad, two months later they expecting

Pops like, "Nah, I ain't tryna hear from your perspective

Take these $200 while I'm at work, go take care of that"

To think now look where I'm at

To think the man that I look up to and never met

Could having destroy something real as the love that we had to this day affect me, yeah

Drop in and cop it, pops out here getting it

Pops was an immigrant choosing to not live innocent

Cops end up dropping in slapping the cuffs up on him

Last time that I seen him, I was nine years old

Looking for love and then momma turned to the alcohol

No father figure, so me, I turn to my basketball

Family torn, searching for more when

Only examples that I had was Kobe and Jordan

Spent some time in a place that really opened my eyes

Realized that because I'm black, people choose to despise

Was only twelve when it happen, almost broke me inside

Discovered some people that hate me 'cause my black side

Graduated, young and highly miseducated

A dream junkie, I honestly missed the education

Was hoop dreaming, I promise I got the elevation

And the greatness, I'm filled with ambition to make it

And now we here and it's a celebration

2010, I discovered life through a different lens

Started rapping, using music as a medicine

Even when they throwing stones at who I represent

I kept the faith despite the fake when they try to divide

Learned at a young age, only the strong gon' survive

Back in that basement when I was indie, all on my grind

Never would I image this life, it still blow my mind

I know my purpose, I'm far from perfect, I know my way

I demonstrate and lead everyday, I'm bound to be great

I take my life and put it on display all for you

And let my tunes do the talking knowing all is true
