Lyrics
David was labeled a corny kid
Who always had his homework did
He saw the hustlers hustle right
There on the corner where he lived
Though they tried to pull him in
That just wasn't what he did
He knew that path was for some,
But he's still searching for his
David's since-able,he don't engage
In shit it don't make sense to do
Plus he's getting straight c's
cccolades from the principal
Mom works nights at the hospital
He don't worry when rent is due
His Dad's another subject
Guess you could say it's typical
Daddy ain't around cause he
Currently sees a prison view
He calls to say he loves his son
But, David's kinda cynical
His best friend Trey,
Who stays right around the way
He carries the trey-8
cnd refers to David as Dave
But unlike David,
Trey seldom likes to behave
Rarely catch him at school
Cause he only likes to get paid
Young David and Trey
Been the tightest since second grade
cnd thanks to Trey, so many times
David's life has been saved
The Story of David
The Story of David
The Story of David
The Story of David
David felt like he was born to win
Like life had more for him
cnd it was all confirmed when
ccceptance letters start pouring in
His mama say it's up to him
But, son choose wisely
Since he ain't wanna leave the Chi
He went to UIC
Fast forward second semester
When his school life ceased
His mama fell ill
They had her hooked up to IV's
It was, one of the saddest
Sights that you might see
When the doctor said
Chemotherapy's what
You might need
cw geez, David just went from
Searching from test answers
To dealing with the fact
His mom's got breast cancer
Trying to be strong
He concealed his hurt
cnd still smiled at her
Trying to figure how this
Would work with bills piling up
Even though his brain
Was quite advanced
He'd do anything to
Give his mom a fighting chance
So reluctance, fear, his pride
He swallowed em' all
Made a call and said,
Trey, I need a favor from you dog
The Story of David
The Story of David
The Story of David
The Story of David
