The Story - Diabolic

Lo sweater, Timberlands, Kani jeans

Ain’t too far from that shit had my Starter jacket dry cleaned

Used to buy green from Rita’s mother Eileen

I can still see the summer we discovered rhyme schemes

Nineteen ninety something here’s how I would function

I would run in Pergament boosting paint by the dozen

Driving drunk and high inside my mother’s ride

Son if I keep living like this somebody’s gonna die

Attitude was act the fool if I summarized

Like come and try I’ll punch you in your fucking eye

Knuckles fly if you shuck and hive or fakes jacks

Since way back days at Cap Marotta’s with an ADAT

Digi 8 track before dreams of mass appeal

Boss jeans Krylon moss green classic feel

Smacked the grill on my first car burning rubber

Word to mother rolling weed on my Nocturnal cover

Yeah that’s why it goes like this

Getting live at the shows like this

Yeah that’s why we roll like thi

Hold up light up what you rolled right quick

Yeah I’m getting dough like this

To inspire folks that are broke like this

Before the shows and the hoes on the road

What you know the story’s told like this

Pay phones secret codes using pagers

Sunday night the party stalled Marley Marl Future Flavas

My crew was major beef now we’ll stay and fight

My homie Chris Snots made me freestyle it changed my life

Late at night mall parking lot sparking pot

And sipping brew battled different crews at the barber shop

On the block with contraband saw cops and ran

Sold dimes but only owed five when I’m copping grams

Hydroponic plants before these exotic strands

Or holograms of Pac watched him in Juice with Thomas Sams

Was the man with that red and black lumberjack

Big had on Juicy even though my hat doesn’t match

Memory lane now it’s all coming back

That Thundercat line I said made the party fucking snap

Rapped to beats on vinyl trying to be your idol

Street disciple nine six Source magazine’s the Bible

Yeah that’s why it goes like this

Getting live at the shows like this

Yeah that’s why we roll like thi

Hold up light up what you rolled right quick

Yeah I’m getting dough like this

To inspire folks that are broke like this

Before the shows and the hoes on the road

What you know the story’s told like this

East and west rivaled New York proud to rep it

Jansport backpack boosting shit from Tower Records

Wild and reckless driven like the Dukes of Hazard

10th grade flooded my whole school with 'shrooms and acid

Stupid bastard smoke buddha two and pass it

Bumping Jerky Boys Sol Rosenberg shoes and glasses

Method Man Bring the Pain was a Wu Fanatic

Rumor has it Sean’s sticking dick to this junior Janet

Pop’s blew a gasket first time I got arrested

Not the second he was way cooler than I expected

Rocking fresh shit Tommy Hil and Nautica

Malt liquor got me real sloppy still I’d talk slicker

My boy Victor had a kicker box shit would knock

His system got stolen with his rims up on cinderblocks

Hiphop was a god send for our friends

Was on when I made my first beat ASR 10

Yeah that’s why it goes like this

Getting live at the shows like this

Yeah that’s why we roll like thi

Hold up light up what you rolled right quick

Yeah I’m getting dough like this

To inspire folks that are broke like this

Before the shows and the hoes on the road

What you know the story’s told like this
