[intro]
momma was a nurse
daddy was an engineer
yeah
[chorus]
based on a true story
based on a true story
based on a true
based on a true story
[verse 1]
momma was a nurse, daddy was an engineer
grandad a politician
all of that came together in a young boy
mom and dad had a crib out in southall, that’s london
6 years later, here come my little brother (brendan)
family complete now, man i love ’em
my parents thought life would be better in the motherland
tired of the bills and the struggling’
now we on a plane
yeah we out
next thing i know we’re in freetown
[chorus]
based on a true story
based on a true story
based on a true
based on a true story
[verse 2]
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
and the arguments is 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
[chorus]
based on a true story
based on a true story
based on a true
based on a true story
[verse 3]
momma made it out of jail
but the war was at it’s 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 priests
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 dad would probably k!ll her
she told her sister, baby please go get ’em
a week later flew out to belgium
[chorus]
based on a true story
based on a true story
based on a true
based on a true story
