About My Story

"My Story" is a single by American R&B singer R. Kelly featuring 2 Chainz, written by R. Kelly who co-produced it with Nineteen85 from OVO Sound, for his twelfth solo studio album Black Panties. A snippet of the song was first heard at the BET Awards same year, then another a week after the award ceremony. The song was released on July 23, 2013 via R. Kelly's Vevo, and on iTunes a day later. The second snippet was not in the official song, but later heard on the extended version of the song. The song debuted at #89 on the hot 100 during the week of the album's release after many weeks on the bubbling under chart. No official music video will be released, but a documentary music video has been uploaded on R. Kelly's Vevo channel and a fan video was expected, but was never released.

Came from humble beginnings now I'm c***y with my spending
They say "life is just a game" and I thank God that I'm winning
Models roll my indo, I beat the p****, Django

Velcro, I'm sticking to it, hatin', I've been a victim to it
Your conversation is sanitation, ain't no hesitation when I finna do it

Live it up and count my dividends, roll, like cinnamon
Whoa, big face Benjamin's
And she looked at me like you ain't nothin' but a star
I looked at her like this ain't nothin' but a car
If you ride with them you ain't going that far
But if you ride with me (Me)
Crib so big we can play hide-and-seek (Play hide-and-seek)
You can confide to me, ride me like I ride the beat
Pilot seat, I need a co-pilot (Tell 'em), kiss a a** in both mouths (Tru)

And I'm, stickin', to it

Pull up to the club at about three (Uh huh)
I'm killin' it, guilty no plea (Uh huh)
I'm leaving out at 6 with a dime piece
By 9 o'clock, we on round three
I speak of rain they say I'm crazy like they didn't know
See I'm not crazy but my talent, man, got bipolar
Say she's a church girl but man she's blowing holy smokes
Showed her the Jesus piece now she got the Holy Ghost
They asked 'em in a interview, "Why do he love these girls?"
The only thing he had to say was, "Motherf*** the world!"

This is my story, yeah I'm from that Chi-town dirt
I went from being broke to sleeping in Versace shirts
This is my story, money, cars, bad hoes
This is my story eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it (Uh huh)
And I'm, stickin', to it
