Here, I'll tell you how I
Got sober, man, let's just
We'll get into it
You know I've been talking about it for a
While and there's never, like
A right time to talk about
That sorta thing but I
Do wanna be able to share it with you guys
Because sometime people ask about it and
Wonder what's up and then
I'll just tell you how I got into that
I was born, I was born My father was, uh
A old man My dad was 70 years old when I was
Born and my mother was 32
And they had four children
You know, when I was born I think there was

Like, make sure he was okay
Where he was stepping

And she wasn't really connected to me
You know

And I guess I just started to feel, like
Ashamed you know
I felt ashamed Of the fact
That my family was poor
I felt ashamed that my dad was old
You know, couldn't be, like
As much a part of my life In a lotta ways
Because, physically
It was hampering to him and
Then because my parents were separated and
And then he wasn't around
And, you know, I, I

(O oh) I would tell people stories
To make my life different than it was

(O oh) I would tell people stories
To make my life different than it was
