Lyrics for Song: Non-Fiction (Intro)
Lyrics for Album: Non-Fiction Deluxe [2015]
[Intro]
The story you 'bout to hear is complete fiction.
It is however made up of a group of stories,
true stories about real people.
Thus creating real characters going through real things.
Thus making the story itself real, true and a real story, a true story,
is non-fiction
Our story begins in a dark place.
A place where you learn that everything that you wanted,
could potentially be the very thing that leads to your destruction.
The very thing you should fear.
This is a lesson learned the hard way, experience being the only teacher.
I mean you can't exactly tell a broke man that money is evil
and expect him to listen to you now can you?
Naw he's got to go down that road,
he's got to face them demons himself before
he can acquire that knowledge.
The money solves one group of problems only to introduce another.
Strangers become friends, friends become enemies.
The fame, just like any other drug feels incredible
until you realize all that adoration, all that love, ain't real.
And the women, huh, the women, a drug you use that uses you right back.
A high for a high so to speak. Which brings us to Tammy.
