I'm gonna tell a story
Listen to me today
It's not of fame and glory
Selling souls to find a way
This older man told me
That way back in the day
He bled and poured his heart out
While put out on display
Some people they enjoyed it
At least that's what they say
Unknown intense emotion
Is in this masterpiece

I'll tell you son
How I feel
With hope to help you

Chorus
Free your pain
'Cause I told you before
And I'll tell you again

So here's another story
I heard two days ago
This lady came and told me
Of how she's feeling low
Don't cry and dry your tears now
I told her she should know
Life really ain't that bad child
Better than six feet below
Why bother living life with
A frown upon your face
Rome wasn't built in a day now
You gotta set your pace
Stand tall and pick your head up
Go sing on the mountains high
You're just a baby bird now
One day you'll learn to fly

I'll tell you son
How I feel
With hope to help you

Chorus

I wanted to tell you son
How I feel
With hope to help you
I wanted to tell you son
How I feel
With hope to help you

Me and the boys
Ain't talking no shit
If you're killing at the vibes
I'ma have to throw a fit
But I don't wanna do that
So come at me real
Begin to understand
Just how this MC feels
I'm Mista D
And I'm a smooth cool cat
Mama never knew
That I could sing like that
I guess I just had to follow
All the beats in my head
Writing clever poems
That's what I did
Now these poems are for you
My lyrics are true
I just want to do this
'Til the world is through
I speak on the real
If you feel like I feel
Then you need to get up and slam

Chorus
