 seems to be at an all time high.

 Verse 1
 Either the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat
 you either got ends or struggle to make ends meet
 You can either turn square or keep the mind of a rebel
 some uppity livin' good some faced with death in the ghetto
 I'm a product of the streets so I vow to never slip
 so I trust no one and keep a P. Coltrane on my hip
 I always paid attention while my O.G's was teachin'
 Rule number one if it's on blast the first nigga reachin'
 either death or the pen' shit I had to do better
 It was a must I moved on and now I'm all about cheddar
 a young entrepreneur I rather slang than bang
 now girls be like you go Mack 10 baby do yo thang
 So I continue to get down and I keep writin' rhymes
 and I parlay every dollar to flip at least a hundred times
 So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory
 and everything I recite's Based On A True Story

 Chorus 
 You can feel nigga
 It's based on a true story
 You know it's real nigga
 Based on a true story

 Verse 2
 The year 1986 is when it all started
 now eleven years later we still rough and cold hearted
 and as the saga continues I ride the wave like a Sea Doo
 not to knock hip hop but gangsta rap is what we do
 Niggas on they first album
 already sold a mil'
 So before you knock our style
 at least admit that it's real
 It's all sex drugs and violence
 so you pretend you ain't checkin'
 You mean to tell me people
 really ain't dyin' every second
 Now y'all made the rules
 niggas can say what they choose
 So if you gone ban Gangsta rap
 then you got to ban the news
 That means no weather report
 no Waco and the bad reverand
 No channel 4 channel 7 and no film at eleven
 With no high school diplomas we became millionaires
 media mad 'cause we winning and we really playin' fair
 So keep your game tight and it's all fame and glory
 and everything I recite's Based On A True Story

 Chorus

 Verse 3
 I crumble green on a magazine
 ready to roll a joint
 damn in this billboard
 I'm number one with a hollow point
 It was a rough road ahead
 but for my kids I gotta pave it
 so I twist one shake the weed out
 close the book up and save it
 'Cause my son li'l Mack
 might grow up and have a crew
 and he can show all his homies
 this what my daddy used to do
 See I was raised around gangstas
 and grindas since a youth
