about

What's The Story? is an autobiographical song about Cyrus Da Zine. Cyrus is also asking the listener in the chorus what their story is, how they plan on living their life, and how do they see it ending? It's nostalgic as well as a window into who Cyrus is as a person. He again talks about what influenced him as a child and where he's ended up today as a man.

lyrics

Chapter 1:
The beginning was hot
Summer night sweltering
Mama was sweatin practically melting and
It was humid as hell
was this the last false alarm
I wanted to stay where I couldn’t be harmed
With my mom
July 6th procrastinator born
I like to take my time yea I had to break the norm
Wait a little longer while I’m mastering the form
Deliver something proper with a passion like the lord
Never find me bored
Cuz I love to explore
Everything in life man I’m just wanting some more
My dad used to read to me
Expose me to the scenery
Teach me bout machinery
And showed me how to be a G
Uh, That’s Gurdjieff though,
A mystical sage who put the work in yo
Master yourself that’s your purpose bro
Free your mind from the crazy circus show
And that’s life

Chorus:
What’s the story of your life?
How many chapters of your book
Do you plan to write?
How’s the book end? The book end?
What’s the story of your life?
How many chapters of your book
Do you plan to write?
How’s the book end? The book end?

Chapter 2:
In 1992 I don’t know how my sister knew
To give me a cassette with like every single crew (on it)
Tribe called quest, House of Pain, Dre and Snoop, Cypress Hill was on it, diggity Das-Efx too
I was only 8 but Criss Cross could make me jump jump
The miggity mac daddy made
My Walkman thump thump
It was so great never could find me in a slump slump
Rockin body glove when I was given a fist bump bump
Once I hit middle school started skateboarding (Something Else)
Andre the Giant stickers made me feel important
Got a little bullied but that shit got sorted
Started tagging Cyrus
Whenever I was bored an
Used to go to Logan’s house
To watch music videos
See the cameos before YouTube and Vimeo
Way before downloads and MP3s
We played video games and watched MTV
And that was life

Chorus:
What’s the story of your life?
How many chapters of your book
Do you plan to write?
How’s the book end? The book end?
What’s the story of your life?
How many chapters of your book
Do you plan to write?
How’s the book end? The book end?

Chapter 3:
I could write you something fascinating
Put it into context
Passion in creatin my original concepts
Leave ya captivated
Cuz it’s simple but complex
Thoughts I advocated
Got ya thinking bout progress
Trained to think harder
Always flexin the mental
Ever since drawin with mechanical pencils
Crop the picture frame I could see the essential
Reveal a masterpiece
Like I didn’t intend to

Here’s a little fact that I bet would surprise ya
My nine to five is financial adviser
From art school to financial professional
Add a little twist of creative expression though
Leave them in awe when I do a seminar
Like my grandfather preachin to the congregation
See them or not when I do a webinar
Changin people’s lives with a little education
And that's my life

Chorus:
What’s the story of your life?
How many chapters of your book
Do you plan to write?
How’s the book end? The book end?
What’s the story of your life?
How many chapters of your book
Do you plan to write?
How’s the book end? The book end?
