Based On A True Story (Edited) - Too Short/Mack 10

Written by：Paddy Milner/Randall Breneman/Scott Wiber

Newscaster In the news tonight

Rap star mack 10 releases his second

Solo album titled based on a true story

And according to reliable sources ha

He laughs in the face of the sophomore jinx

After the release of westside connection and mack's

New record gangster rap

Seems to be at an all time high

Either the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat

You either got ends or struggle to make ends meet

You can either turn square or keep the mind of a rebel

Some uppity livin' good some faced with death in the ghetto

I'm a product of the streets so

I vow to never slip

So I trust no one and keep a p coltrane

On my hip

I always paid attention while my og's was teachin'

Rule number one if it's on blast

The first n**ga reachin'

Either death or the pen' sh*t I had to do better

It was a must I moved on and now

I'm all about cheddar

A young entrepreneur I rather slang than bang

Now girls be like you go mack 10 baby do yo thang

So I continue to get down and I keep writin' rhymes

And I parlay every dollar to flip at least a hundred times

So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory

And everything I recite's based on a true story

You can feel n**ga

Sorry

It's based on a true story

Sorry

You know it's real n**ga

Sorry

Based on a true story

Sorry

The year 1986 is when it all started

Now eleven years later we still rough and cold hearted

And as the saga continues I ride

The wave like a sea doo

Not to knock hip hop but gangsta rap is what we do

N**gas on they first album

Already sold a mil'

So before you knock our style

At least admit that it's real

It's all sex *** and violence

So you pretend you ain't checkin'

You mean to tell me people

Really ain't dyin' every second

Now y'all made the rules

N**gas can say what they choose

So if you gone ban gangsta rap

Then you got to ban the news

That means no weather report

No waco and the bad reverand

No channel 4 channel 7 and no film at eleven

With no high school diplomas we became millionaires

Media mad 'cause we winning and we really playin' fair

So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory

And everything I recite's based on a true story

You 8 grabin

Sorry

It's based on a true story

Sorry

Weaken heaven

Sorry

Based on a true story

Sorry

I crumble green on a magazine

Ready to roll a joint

D**n in this billboard

I'm number one with a hollow point

It was a rough road ahead

But for my kids I gotta pave it

So I twist one shake the w**d out

Close the book up and save it

'Cause my son li'l mack

Might grow up and have a crew

And he can show all his homies

This what my daddy used to do

See I was raised around gangstas

And grindas since a youth

So the sh*t I rap abouts like 99 truth

With dedicated fans from bebe kids

To bambinos and n**gas that's ceo's

Before they reach they three o's

Maneuver through the corporate world

Makin' moves to take ours

Rolling big German luxury and italian sports cars

So watch what you do 'cause you know we playa hated

And everytime it's a homicide they call it gang related

So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory

And everything I recite's based on a true story

It's so true

As right

Sorry

It's based on a true story

Sorry

Is naver know you

Sorry

Based on a true story

Sorry

Say mack baby

It's yo pa'tna hort dog man

You know I got yo back boy

You know a n**ga like me I just left

The ferrarri dealer man I ain't go lie

I know you ridin' rims

But the problem is

It's a lot of mothaf**kas

Out there that think we

Rappers man that think we just sit at home

And make this up at our momma's house

I hate to tell y'all man some of us

Are real playas

Real ballers biitch
