Yeah, yeah
Momma was a nurse
Daddy was an engineer
Yeah
Based on a true story
Yeah, based on a true story
Yeah, based on a true, yeah
Yeah, yeah, based on a true story
Yeah, yeah
Yo, momma was a nurse, daddy was an engineer
Granddad a politician, all of that came together in a young boy
Mom and dad had a crib out in Southall, that's London
Six years later here come my little brother (Brandon)
Family complete now, man I love 'em
Parents thought life would be better in the motherland (nah)
Tired of the bills and the struggling, now we on a plane
Yeah, we out, uh, next thing I know we in, we tap
Based on a true story
Yeah, based on a true story
Yeah, based on a true, yeah
Yeah, yeah, based on a true story
Yeah, yeah
Yo, yo, yo, living like a young prince, fam been royal since
My daddy knew the president
Mom and dad going through it
Man, my whole fam going through it (damn)
And the arguments are stupid
Same time government going through it
Getting overthrown by the rebels from the villages
Mom went to jail, daddy was the captain of the army
Civil war, I remember when it started
Night time staring at the sky
All I saw was red bullets
Man I'm tryna stay alive
Based on a true story
Yeah, based on a true story
Yeah, based on a true, yeah
Yeah, yeah, based on a true story
Yeah, yeah
Momma made it out of jail, but the war was at its peak
Dead bodies laying on the streets
Can't trust a soul and you can't trust police
All the churches empty, 'cause they shot the priest
Momma found my brother but she can't find me
Alone in my daddy house, nothing there to eat
She brought me bread, but was scared to take me with her
'Cause I know my daddy probably kill her
She told her sister, "Baby, please go get her"
