Prince (The Truth) Lyrics

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

This how it feel when change is coming

When you losing sleep at night

But it's cool you need the night

Cause you get your peace at night

Cause that's when you see the light

Cause you know you need to write

And you know you need it right

I done got into so much

I ain't want to grow up

Knowing I can't repeat this life

My momma gave me a decent life

It's probably why I ain't achieve in life

She was just trying to be everything to me that she didn't have

She knew abuse

She knew neglect

So she get a pass

She was the blacksheep

Could never compete with the love that her ma was so vocal about for her younger bro

My grandmomma went to her grave with so many answers her daughter want to know

Like why'd you resent me so much

Is it cause my pop left

Did you even take any time to process

That it wasn't just you who got left

And I'm looking back like

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

Yeah

Fast forward to the present day

Neither my younger bro nor my momma were there when I cut up my wedding cake

I was obsessed with hate

My pops left

Then my pops died

Then she went and moved us across the country away from my pop's side

And I know it was meant to be for the best

So I tried

But damn

This is the story all about how

This is the story all about how

Yeah

New life

Fresh start

P really should get a headstart

The second where me and my ex part

Is the day that Dai gets more resentment and less heart

Even if I could reset

I'd probably just make another mess

At the same time

I would never be able to grow if I couldn't let go of regret

I'm aware that this trauma could pass and

The goal is to not let it happen

To show that they ain't got to be defined by their past and

To say what I mean and be about action

Not an excuse

To say what I mean and be about action

Not an excuse

The truth
