Our Story Lyrics - R. City

1 That's when it all changed

2 See that's was the first time we wanted to get on stage

3 I was nervous, my brother wasn't afraid

4 We both was at a very young age

5 Mom & dad worked hard for that 5 dollars an hour minimum wage

6 They treated our folks like they were slaves

7 But they did whatever they had to to keep food on the plate

8 So we made a promise that some how some way

9 We gon make it up out of this ghetto one day

10 Maybe 'cause we were locals

11 Prolly why promoters felt like we didn't deserve to get paid

12 We were loved by some hated by many

13 Years pass growing up now, we just met Benny

14 Fan base started growing still wasn't making a penny

15 That's not even half a mile in my shoes

16 We became the biggest thing while we were still only in high school

17 But we ain't settled so right after we graduated we moved

18 All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow

19 So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow

20 So now we in the M.I.A

21 Shout out to my cousin Oshannah for giving us a place to stay

22 The homie Verse stayed right around the corner with his moms

23 My uncle Trent stayed 20 minutes away so me, my brother and Verse

24 Was running through the streets of Miami grindin' seeing as tho we couldn't get work

25 Then a radio battle rap show with big lip

26 And super Cindy was the only way that we got heard

27 See we skipped college ain't with that blue collar

28 Was only chasing our dream ain't never chased dollars

29 And we was on fire when we left St. Thomas

30 Went to Miami thinking we was gon get more hotter

31 But that didn't happen at all we knew that we needed to leave

32 And it was between Atlanta and New York

33 Then our tickets got bought to come to the A to rock a show

34 If that wasn't a sign I don't know what it was

35 So they payed us 350 to perform a club

36 So we packed up our bags like here we come

37 And were fresh out of high school still very young

38 But this was our dream, to some we were done

39 All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow

40 So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow

41 So we went to Atlanta and decided we wasn't gon leave

42 With 20 dollars in the pocket of some old jeans

43 Came across a few salesmen that sold dreams

44 But we wasn't gon quit uh uh by no means

45 We started meeting with labels and we were laughed at

46 Like you from an island tryna rap go home please

47 Started doing talent shows to win money

48 Just to keep the lights on and bring home a lil groceries

49 Buzz started growing

50 Atlanta started showing mad love so we just kept on going

51 Deals on the table now Akon blowing up

52 And hearing bout us from everybody who know him

53 Did the deal with Konvict then "Losin' It" dropped

54 Still here standing even after "Losin' It" flopped

55 They wanted us to sing no rappin' straight pop

56 And that's just some of the reason why that album ain't dropped

57 And I ain't tryna get props all I want is my shot

58 Our chance to blow and probably make it to the top

59 And at least I can say that we tried if we failed

60 Plus the fans ain't never cared bout first week sales

61 All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow

62 So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow

63 So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow
