Lyrics
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
Let's start with your name
My name is Moses Barry the third, slash Petey Pablo
At least a hundred years old, don't ask me how I know
North Carolina born, July 22
Went to prison for 6 years for doing what I did
Coke and dope sniffing, yeah I kicked the habit
Why you try that shit you quit?
If I have, that's my business
I don't fuck with nobody, avoid conflict
Me having a record means I'm guilty already
Sold dope, sold coke, I went broke, sold soap
I fell off and got back on
Robbed niggas at gunpoint, broke in they home
Tied 'em up, duct taped, left 'em on the floor
Whether or not they was dead or not, I don't know
I don't go back and check on 'em, when I leave I'm gone
Before you ask, I ain't doing this for fashion or show
I just thought y'all should know, by my soul
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
Fifth and 14th Street, following behind a dude named Freeze
Impressed by everything I seen
He taught me everything I knew back then to dealt with the streets
And all the while I'm being taught by a fucked up teacher
Couldn't believe it, a dude that close to me
That knew everything about me, talking to the police
Had the nerve to tell me when I went to Buckner to see him
At least he didn't tell on me
Dude, I couldn't breathe
I called this boy my brother, vouched for this motherfucker
Fought folks, and went to war for him
Whether or not we had a car, I ain't care, I would walk for him
That's the type of dog I was for him
Guess it worked out for the best for him to be locked up
Instead of out here in these streets with the best of 'em
Cause you know how dogs do
One of the letters weak, he wind up being dog food
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
Went out of prison a good year, before I got me a deal
In the bathroom with Black Rob and Dave walked in
A life changing experience, I tell you my friend
Ain't really cut out for a few of 'em that had this chance
First of all, they too scared to walk across campus
Ain't nothing but some grass, let's see what happens
Ain't but a few line pushers, that'll push it and smash
Drive the car all over the road, zig-zag
I ain't one for boasting, cause I don't brag
I ain't ask to be who I am, I am what I am
I ain't go to Suge and ask dude to save my career
We just went out and had lobster and crab
Took it from there, on the waterfront
Blowing cuban smoke in the air
Taking pictures of little chicks out there playing with cameras
I know you thinking, nah, that ain't how it happened
That's how it happened
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
You'll hear the truth from me
So you don't have to second guess about me
I'mma set the record straight today
Tell y'all everything
From my first to my last name
From my joy to a nigga pain
