[Hook: Yonas]
My notebook have 4000 stories
Now my crib got 4000 stories
I don't brag but I do it for the glory and I guess that's the moral of the story (Well, okay)
My notebook have 4000 stories
Now my crib got 4000 stories
I don't brag but I do it for the glory and I guess that's the moral of the story (Okay)
[Verse 1: Yonas]
These days I sound a little cynical
For all the days I had holes in my clothes, had to pin up those
Had dream girls, used to pin up those
Then I stopped caring, now I'm bagging centerfolds
Damn, I worked a 9 to 5 to 10 to 4
Back then I never had to force the pen to flow
Just the intricate dreams of a madman
Don Draper, whiskey bottle and a trash can
Damn, tryna market out a fast plan
Do I sell drugs or run a tax scam?
Aw fuck it I'll just rap man and make my life story all about tryna unmask the masked man, yeah
This is poetry in motion
This is seven hours nigga, this the purest of devotion
I'ma make a statement make sure you niggas quote it
Don't ever get the notion that I'll ever stop telling my story
[Bridge: Yonas]
You've got a story to tell
4000 stories in you
You've got a story to tell
Go on tell em now

[Verse 2: Yonas]
Is it seven or eight albums?
I don't know, they all great albums
Not to toot my own horn but I was born to make albums
When I listen to them I throw away albums, damn
Let's take it back to the park for 'em
Let me take a second and break it apart for 'em
This is Michael Jordan crossing Brian Russell at the line and posing for the picture just to show off the art for 'em, yeah
I told you I'm the man
Since day one it's been me and my fans
Hopped in the spaceship, took a chance
And we good where ever we land
Word to the 6 God, it's God's Plan
Ready for the lift off, I'm just saying
I'ma make a statement make sure you niggas quote it
Don't ever get the notion that I'll ever stop telling my story

[Verse 3: XV]
I used to wake up, catch the bus at 6:20
Shane been up, still tryna to get money
14 years old already getting honeys, what is funny I was running away from anyone who loved me
Jumping over fences going inches in the trenches
Bouncing out the house, busting doors off the hinges
Little did I know that my flow had an engine
Stop binging on them shows, nigga go out and get it now
Before MTV did dramas
This girl named Rebecca was the first teen mama
That I ever knew and she blew through the trauma
Hope she get to tell her story cause I know that she got one
Or two, cause I know I got a few
Checking off the items on the list I gotta do
When you come from the middle and you come up a little, start balling
Don't let 'em tell you, "Shut up and dribble"
I'ma scribble my story, yeah
[Bridge: Yonas]
You've got a story to tell
4000 stories in you
You've got a story to tell
Go on tell em now

[Outro: Yonas]
You know, you know
It's about that time for me
You know, you know, yeah
