Lyrics
My Story
Written by: Mark Cantos
[Verse 1]
Yo, I’m tryin’ to figure out exactly where I belong// Lord I’m tryin’ to keep the faith, please give me the strength to be strong// I’m tryin’ to make up, for all of my wrongs// I’m sorry for my past, but I want to move on// this is my confession, my story, my song// born in ‘87/ with 7/ as a middle child// living life wild// I use to think that scrapping it out/ was my only way out/ I had no motivation/ inspiration/ no patience// I only had anger, pain, hate and frustration// I was conceived in the Philippines// but my parents had other dreams// they were determined to make a better future for me and my siblings, by any means// they heard “the grass was greener on the other side”…so they went after that green…
[Hook]
Now this is my story, you can take it as it is
This is all my sorrows, my pains, my happiness
You don’t know me now…but you gonna get to
know me [x3]
Look at my eyes… yeah that’s me my homie
[Verse 2]
I was only like five// when my family and I// immigrated to Canada…and as an immigrant// I use to feel so different// so damn insignificant// I use to get in so many fights// and as an adolescent, never knew my wrongs from my rights//there was no money in sight// so I remember them times stealing// never got caught, so I use to love the feeling// playing ball, hanging out, just chillin’// but now, as I look back and start reminiscing// use to think that these times will never stop// just hanging round block// but after a while got in so many troubles with the cops// use to bring me home behind the police car// and just hearing my parent’s voices saying “you just don’t know how disappointed we are…”// man it broke my heart…
[Hook]
Now this is my story, you can take it as it is
This is all my sorrows, my pains, my happiness
You don’t know me now…but you gonna get to
know me [x3]
Look at my eyes… yeah that’s me my homie
[Verse 3]
So I got to thinking like// “Mark look at your life! // is this how you really want to live… or do I want to start living right?” // so I picked up a pen and paper, than I started to write// poems turned into lyrics, than I picked up a mic// everything’s all good now, I got my life on track// as a matter of fact// now I got good girl and I love her to death// I’ma make her my wife…I swear to my last breath// as for friends, yeah well I have a few// or at least the few I really consider true// these are my dawgs, my brothers, my crew// this is for RAFFY, yeah that’s my dawg, this is for JAN, uh huh that’s my dawg, this is for MIKEY, for real you my dawg, can’t forget NICOLLO, yo that’s my dawg , JARED and JERALD, my cousins, my bloods, my homies, my dawgs, JEFFREY REODICA, rest in peace you my homie for life!!!...and of course to my one and only baby MEI NEBIT…you my dawg, my homie…ha-ha love you baby for life…and to my family…thank-you all…
[Hook]
Now this is my story, you can take it as it is
This is all my sorrows, my pains, my happiness
You don’t know me now…but you gonna get to
know me [x3]
Look at my eyes… yeah that’s me my homie
