Story Lyrics

[Verse 1: O.C.]
Timmy wanted a name, trying to gain fame like a skeezer
Robbed the spot and stole ice from the freezer
He's a fool ‘cause he went in without a mask on
Now he's on the run, so he dipped to Nebraska
Hasn't crossed his mind, his girl named Olivia
She'll take the fall for the jump from Bolivia
Asides that, he fat, living on his own-ah
Diminished the friendship style, now a loner

Relaxed while his family is gagged and tied up in New York
Asking ‘em to confess his whereabout
No one fesses up, so the Columbian scores a blister
Shoving up a broomstick to his sister


[Arguing and shouting]

[Verse 2: O.C.]
Everyone screams like Hell’s souls are damned
Mommy gets up, rise like bleacher's bare fans
The experience was “aww shit” like movie flicks, but the
Men inside, they treat the women like tricks
One beats his meat, the other Columbian, he pounds mommy
Down the longer Timmy stays out of town
You’ll get tortured
, all of your babies and on
No slacking for the nigga dissed, so he insists return
He knows little of the pain that the family endure
Still, he deal his disease for sure
He had a cure far worse than candy
Kids steal from his store, living off his heist like a crack whore
[Arguing and shouting]

[Verse 3: O.C.]
Check it out, “enough of the games,” one said
Went open high, started with ma, gave her a Columbian necktie

Doing the daughter far worse, I tell
Pulling her skin back slow, peels off her toenails
Raw skin exposed, plus, Gus, that wasn't all
They drenched her feet with a whole lot of alcohol
The babies were baked like cakes in the oven
No remorse was governed, in their heart was stone-cold nothing
He lacked love for his fam
Obvious, ain't it? he traded blood for money
Just reading, picked up a local news-paper and paid it
“Family Slain. Drug-Related”

He stood stiffer than a patient being sedated
Fate still blew upon you like wind
Instead of you, they took it out on your last line of kin
And now a sour taste devour your breath
What's left is a thief that had his family tortured to death


[Outro]
Story, it’s a story, story, it’s a story, story, yo, it’s a story
