STORY TO BE TOLD

I licked envelopes Wrote a letter to the Pope He never gave me rope In the times I couldn't cope He never gave me rope In the times I couldn't cope They cleaned up the dope and censored my scope The writing on the walls been beaten to a pulp The writing on the walls been beaten to a pulp All I ever wanted was my story to be told All I ever wanted was my story to be told I never got struck by somin' in my core I never took back that joint I rolled What happens now to the truth I told Do they all roll over and die in the cold All I ever wanted was my story to be told All I ever wanted was my story to be told A skateboard rolled, a lighting bolt Droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault Droppin' on 'em but it ain't their fault Maybe I am floored but it needs to be told All I ever wanted was my story to be told All I all I ever wanted was my story to be told --- Story to Be Told - M.I.A.
