The Story Lyrics by Jay Kell

Sunset Boulevard

2019

[Hook]
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends
See I Ain’t heard from you in weeks
So let the story begin (yep)
Yeah, Begin
Unh, Begin
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends, huh?
Look, Unh

[Verse 1]
To who it may concern
Yea I’m talking to you (talkin to you)
To who it may concern
Yea the question is who? (question is who)
Man I thought I was ya folks
Thought i was ya mans (yeah)
Always kept a hundred
Now you half of a man (mm)
See we met at the Alley
From a friend who was mutual (okay)
Chopped it up, exchanged contacts
You know the usual (yeah)
Linked up a couple of times
Through random passing (yeah)
Pleasantries end with
You know, "Thanks for asking"
Had this idea to go New York
Record an album (album)
You was on conscious shit
All respect to Malcolm (malcolm)
Yea I kinda doubted
I don’t trust too many (nah)
You was like, "We got this man
It ain’t no biggie" (okay)
And sure enough, you was right (was right)
We recorded like five songs
The first night (ahh)
That project ain’t worked out
We fought through the crowd
But see, next thing you know was
The birth of NtheClouds
Unh, NtheClouds, yeah

[Hook]
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends
Man I Ain’t heard from you in months
So let's get to it again
Yeah, Again (Again)
Here we go again
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends
I Ain’t heard from you in months
So let's get to it again

[verse 2]
We Got back to the H, and
We hit the ground running
We got some tracks from Decap
Made sure that shit was bumping (shit)
Recorded it at Steve House
It took us like a session (what)
We started getting love from the love
Man that’s a blessing (yeah)
Put the band together
Everything was so fast (fast)
Jeremy, Mark and Mason and
We named that shit the Forecast (cast)
Next thing you know
We the ones in high demand (yeah)
We in the spots with white boys
That had me like damn (damn)
You wore them future Reebok’s man
Went codeine crazy
You claimed to charm the ladies
Have em wetter than Euphrates (ahh)
And I just rolled wit it
Thought it was part a persona
You got in hot water like
A nigga that's in the sauna
Things at home got crazy
You told me all the details
I was there to help
Cause if he fail, then we fail (yep)
Sometimes a beach can uncover
Your dirt like a sea shell (yep)
Wrote twelve a.m. in Frisco
In light of a certain female (crazy, crazy)

[Hook]
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends
See I Ain’t heard from you in weeks
So let the story begin (shhh)
Yeah, Begin (you was huh)
Unh, Begin
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends, huh
Look, Unh

[verse 3]
Met a girl on the rebound
See, I tried to warn you (tried)
Then she threw ya clothes out
Everything you had worn fool (come on)
Started acting funny
Like you Roseanne Barr
Claimed to have no money
But buying drinks at that bar?
Hold on, Carry the one
Nope that don’t add up (nah)
Negative after negative
Mmm see that math sucks (for show)
That’s all in the past
Nothing good ever lasts (never)
Let it burn to the ash
The flag half mast
You started getting distant
Happened all in an instant (whoo)
I give credit where it’s due
Like a movie that’s ended (for show)
Missed rehearsals, don’t know ya words
Man what the fuck (what?)
I’m in some shit i can’t explain
And now I’m stuck (damn)
On the phone twenty four seven
But can’t return a call (man)
And I ain’t mad no mo
Disappointed that’s all (mmm)
I don’t need to talk
I wrote this song for closure (For show)
But it’s your fault the house
That we built a foreclosure (damn. right)

[Hook]
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends
See I Ain’t heard from you in weeks
So let the story begin (shhh)
Yeah, Begin (you was huh)
Unh, Begin (unh)
You supposed to be my brother
We was closer than friends, huh
Look, Unh

[outro]
I tried. Come on. Come on

[Guitar solo]
