Tell My Story

Some people want this

Some people need this

Others love this

And then there's me

And I am this

Put in all my heart

Put in all my trauma

So when we are apart

I'm still with you through the drama

I can be your comfort

Maybe not you're martyr

But maybe be that voice that

Can save a son or daughter

I hope one day they play my music on the radio

When I'm dead and gone they take me everywhere they go

Hope they tell the generations bout young Ori-O

How he bled through the music and he breathed through the flow

Want to sell out every show

Bring the world along the road

And if the people say they need it

I'll keep pushing till I'm old and grey

And only rest in peace

When I live on in legacy

So I'ma give y'all all of me

And hope that's all I need cause

Hope one day they love me

Hope one day they miss me

Hope one day they tell my story

Hope that I make history

Hope they keep supporting

Hope they pay attention

Hope that I'm important

But mostly that they listen

I can't imagine leaving here

And just being gone

So I'm trying to impact somebody

Like the artists I listened to did for me

And help get them through

And let that legacy outlive me

For generations to come

One day

Hope they singin my name

Every verse I wrote

Every lyric I sang

Every night on the ledge

Tryna ease my pain

Pop a track in get lost in the haze

Way back as a kid gave up on love

Got lost in the uh

I ain't know what it was

Found peace in a girl made peace with my past

Now I'm telling these kids you can move past that

Grow up change the world you can have an impact

Never change that

Understand your fears

Me I came through the struggle felt years of them tears

2018 I had death in my stare

I promise you can make it I'm the proof right here

Just keep on moving, keep on grooving

And you can't have no fear

Hope one day they pay attention

Hope one day they care

Hope that when they see me out

The children stop and stare

On the road doing shows

And they love me everywhere

Know the lyrics know the name

And the message that I share

With no music I'd muddle

Through gray hazy days I'd struggle

With my crazy ways this subtle

Beat sways and fades my trouble

See I sailed by every stormy

Beach I passed held by glory

So as history records me

Let this music tell my story

Through the lines I wrote

Through the times I hoped

That these skies might open and my shine might glow

When the limelight goes hope you got love left

Cuz I ain't have much but I spread my wealth

See no one should feel alone

So I been doin my best just to show these kids

That you gotta keep goin, keep working towards goals

If you got a dream chase it, don't ever lose hope

Hope one day they love me

Hope one day they miss me

Hope one day they tell my story

Hope that I make history

Hope they keep supporting

Hope they pay attention

Hope that I'm important

But mostly that they listen
