[00:05.160]Newscaster: in the news tonight rap star mack 10 releases his secondSolo album titled "based on a true story,"
[00:12.787]and according to reliable sources ha,
[00:15.373]he laughs in the face of the sophomore jinx.
[00:17.542]after the release of westside connection and mack's new record,
[00:20.964]gangster rap seems to be at an all time high.
[00:23.994]Verse 1
[00:24.699]Either the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat
[00:26.789]You either got ends or struggle to make ends meet
[00:29.427]You can either turn square or keep the mind of a rebel
[00:32.431]Some uppity livin' good some faced with death in the ghetto
[00:35.200]I'm a product of the streets so I vow to never slip
[00:38.074]So I trust no one and keep a p. coltrane on my hip
[00:41.182]I always paid attention while my o.g's was teachin'
[00:43.821]Rule number one if it's on blast the first nigga reachin'
[00:46.825]Either death or the pen' shit I had to do better
[00:49.228]It was a must I moved on and now I'm all about cheddar
[00:52.023]A young entrepreneur I rather slang than bang
[00:54.923]Now girls be like you go mack 10 baby do yo thang
[00:57.666]So I continue to get down and I keep writin' rhymes
[01:00.644]And I parlay every dollar to flip at least a hundred times
[01:03.256]So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory
[01:06.129]And everything I recite's based on a true story
[01:08.872]Chorus <"story" sung in background throughout>
[01:09.029]You can feel nigga
[01:09.421]It's based on a true story
[01:09.264]You know it's real nigga
[01:25.617]Based on a true story
[01:27.315]Verse 2
[01:32.095]The year 1986 is when it all started
[01:34.342]Now eleven years later we still rough and cold hearted
[01:37.006]And as the saga continues I ride the wave like a sea doo
[01:39.775]Not to knock hip hop but gangsta rap is what we do
[01:42.596]Niggas on they first album
[01:44.111]Already sold a mil'
[01:45.548]So before you knock our style
[01:46.959]At least admit that it's real
[01:48.134]It's all sex drugs and violence
[01:49.623]So you pretend you ain't checkin'
[01:50.903]You mean to tell me people
[01:52.471]Really ain't dyin' every second
[01:53.646]Now y'all made the rules Niggas can say what they choose
[01:56.676]So if you gone ban gangsta rap
[01:57.904]Then you got to ban the news
[01:59.262]That means no weather report
[02:00.673]No waco and the bad reverand
[02:01.744]No channel 4 channel 7 and no film at eleven
[02:04.722]With no high school diplomas we became millionaires
[02:07.778]Media mad 'cause we winning and we really playin' fair
[02:10.547]So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory
[02:13.395]And everything I recite's based on a true story
[02:16.294]Chorus
[02:39.151]Verse 3
[02:39.543]I crumble green on a magazine
[02:40.431]Ready to roll a joint
[02:41.502]Damn in this billboard
[02:42.809]I'm number one with a hollow point
[02:44.141]It was a rough road ahead
[02:45.551]But for my kids I gotta pave it
[02:47.197]So I twist one shake the weed out
[02:48.582]Close the book up and save it
[02:49.757]'cause my son li'l mack
[02:51.116]Might grow up and have a crew
[02:52.657]And he can show all his homies
[02:53.963]This what my daddy used to do
[02:55.321]See I was raised around gangstas
[02:57.019]And grindas since a youth
[02:58.090]So the shit I rap abouts like 99% truth
[03:01.120]With dedicated fans from bebe kids
[03:03.106]To bambinos and niggas that's ceo's
[03:05.013]Before they reach they three o's
[03:06.632]Maneuver through the corporate world
[03:07.860]Makin' moves to take ours
[03:09.166]Rolling big german luxury and italian sports cars
[03:11.987]So watch what you do 'cause you know we playa hated
[03:15.122]And everytime it's a homicide they call it gang related
[03:17.682]So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory
[03:20.477]And everything I recite's based on a true story
[03:23.246]Chorus (2x)
[03:36.412]Too short talking: say mack baby, it's yo pa'tna short dog man.
[03:49.630]You know I got yo back boy. you know a nigga like me I just left
[03:53.966]The ferrarri dealer man. I ain't go lie I know you ridin' rims.
[03:57.362]But the problem is, it's a lot of mothaf*ckas out there that think we
[04:02.822]Rappers man. that think we just sit at home and make this up at
[04:04.781]Our momma's house. I hate to tell y'all man some of us are real playas
[04:09.065]Real ballers biitch.
