Set The Record Straight

I'm gonna set the record straight today

Tell y'all everything

From my first to my last name

From my joy to a nigga pain

You'll hear the truth from me

So you don't have to second guess about Petey

I'm gonna set the record straight today

Tell y'all everything

From my first to my last name

From my joy to a nigga pain

You'll hear the truth from me

So you don't have to second guess about me

(Let's start with your name)

My name is Moses Barrett the third

Slash Petey Pablo

At least a hundred years old

Don't ask me how I know

North Carolina born

July twenty second

Went to prison for six years

For doing what I did

Coke and dope sniffing

Yeah, I kicked the habit

(Well have you tried it since you quit)

If I had that's my business

I don't fuck with nobody

Avoid conflict

But me having a record means I'm guilty already

Sold dope, sold coke

Went broke, sold soap

I fell off, and got back on

Robbed niggas at gun point

Broke in they home

Tied em' up, duct taped em'

Left em' on the floor

Whether or not they was dead or alive

I don't know

I don't go back to check on em'

When I leave I'm gone

Before you ask, I ain't doing this for fashion or show

I just thought y'all should know

I'm gonna set the record straight today

Tell y'all everything

From my first to my last name

From my joy to a nigga pain

You'll hear the truth from me

So you don't have to second guess about Petey

Fifth and fourteenth street

Balling [?]

Impressed by everything I seen

He taught me everything I knew bout giving dope [?]

And all the while I'm being taught by a fucked up teacher

Couldn't believe it

A dude that close to me

That knew everything about me

Talked to the police

Had the nerve to tell me when I went to button at the seam

At least he didn't tell on me

Dude, I couldn't breath

I called this boy my brother

I vouched for this motherfucker

Fought folks, and went to war for him

Whether or not we had a car, I ain't care

I would walk for him

That's the type a dog I was for him

I guessed it worked out for the best for him to be locked up

Instead out here in these streets with the rest of us

Cause ya' know how dogs do

When one in the litters weak

He wind up being dog food

I'm gonna set the record straight today

Tell y'all everything

From my first to my last name

From my joy to a nigga pain

You'll hear the truth from me

So you don't have to second guess about Petey

Gone out the prison a good year

Fore' I got me a deal

In the bathroom with Black Rob, and Dave walked in

Life changing experience

I'll tell ya' my friend

Ain't really cut out for a few of em'

That had this chance

First of all they too scared

To walk across campus

Ain't nothing but some grass

Let's see what happens

Ain't but a few line pushers

That'll push it and smash

Drive the car all over the road, zigzag

I ain't one for boasting, cause I don't brag

I ain't ask to be who I'm is

I am what I am

I ain't go to Suge and ask dude to save my career

We just went out and had lobster and crab

Took it from there

On the water front, blowing Cuban smoke in the air

Taking pictures of little chicks, out there playing with camera's

I know you thinking, "nah, that ain't how it happened"

But that's how it happened

I'm gonna set the record straight today

Tell y'all everything

From my first to my last name

From my joy to a nigga pain

You'll hear the truth from me

So you don't have to second guess about Petey

I'm gonna set the record straight today

Tell y'all everything

From my first to my last name

From my joy to a nigga pain

You'll hear the truth from me

So you don't have to second guess about Petey
