| Yeah, it’s 97 going into 98 |
| And I’ve been doin' this for mad years, payin' dues |
| This is my heart, my purpose in life |
| And finally I’m on Which brings me to realise that the tough life that I had only made me Stronger, …TRUE |
| Chorus: Richard Stites |
| A ha ha ha ha |
| I know this much is true |
| A ha ha ha ha |
| I know this much is true |
| Verse One: |
| Growin' up didn’t want to have nothing to do wit' you |
| Make you hittin' everybody went to high school wit' you |
| Wanna play you close and jump in the pool wit' you |
| I don’t know what to do but this much is true |
| And in the hood, they all like to knock your career |
| And turn right around when you hot a gear |
| I played Midas and told them that it’s God I fear |
| That the man upstairs, he control this here |
| And it’s funny how, soon as the money piles |
| Everybody wanna play with that brother now |
| Run me down, but when the doe gets low, only a few friends roll, you know |
| And Mama, bless her heart, she used to give me strife |
