Story Told Lyrics by Delon Ellis

2024

94 when I came in
Seen my big homie try play this
Spiting freestyles and versus, over them same beats that he was making
A youngin nigga, writing his soul onto them pages

That’s how I found my inspiration
Knew I’d be a fool if I ain’t chase it
I could see it, I could taste it
Sniping out my place in the game I know it’s vacant
Told them fuck the day shift
I moved back in my mommas basement

They told me I was mistaken, told me my time was wasted
Told me everything that I was going for I ain’t attaining
Like I ain’t worry what they saying
Had a heart full of hope and a soul full of patience

Feeling stuck up in the mud
Turned my back on academics cos rapping was what I lovеd
Every single training session, showing up
Gеtting them reps up in the gym, a step ahead of everyone

Took the ceilings set on my I had to excel past that
Steady scheming was speeding out from the bleachers
They seen it in my demeanour, was speaking out from my feelings
Just a dollar and a dream it be for real

Took a lane, found my space, did it by myself
Shook the game, really made it my time for real
Now picture my homies face, while I’m grinding everyday, get up on a track and say that I ain’t signing deals

Made a promise, ain’t no way we dying broke
Just an artist I was working on my strokes, ten toes
Kept it honest, had my back against the ropes
Had it penned in the scope, now this be the story told

Made a promise ain’t no way we dying broke
Just an artist in a room full of clones, he’ll no
Pay my homage, made some gs like the oz
Making ends out of hope now this be the story told

Told my homies ain’t no way we dying broke
When I make it ain’t no way we flying coach
Told them all to say goodbye to riding those
From the rhyming they gonna think we driving

Though I still ain’t there, I got my hair wet
Certain people start appearing thinking I ain’t see it clear
Intentions they be like they loyalty they paper thin
Thinking I ain’t noticing a trend

Now how come they ain’t clapping when I win
How come every time we get to chatting it’s about helping them
Like they just trynna snatch what they can get
I pulled some knives up out my back I been seeing just how it is

When they see you at that bag they take offence
They was here in the past, but now they switched
It’s like they pray you never last and play pretend
They wanna see you doing well, but shit flips when it’s better then them

Made a promise, ain’t no way we dying broke
Just an artist I was working on my strokes, ten toes
Kept it honest, had my back against the ropes
Had it penned in the scope, now this be the story told

Made a promise ain’t no way we dying broke
Just an artist in a room full of clones, he’ll no
Pay my homage, made some gs like the oz
Making ends out of hope now this be the story told
