Silent Riot - A True Story lyrics

This is how a true story starts Back when I was still so young at heart Didn't know who I was Cause life was in the dark Something clicked, and set the mark Lightning like inspiration, the room lit up, I saw a spark Learned how the fast paced life departs Mind changing, take your time, climb to top of charts I took the past, reversed time, to change all my directions Took a weakness, made it better without any questions This example, blowing off all their current projections Heading north, unlike the 2020 elections Made a mistake, filing for corrections Just because they're making money, doesn't mean they came from blessings Lesson one, the Devil's work never goes unpaid He wants more than handshakes, to make you lemon aid Well, I guess fame is what they claiming now Sometimes I feel I like I was nothing but that's changing now Silent Riot, intentions are loud You don't stand for a solution, please sit the f** down Damn, a bunch of people tryna keep secrets Make up stories, and the crowd will believe it.
