The Greatest Story Never Told Lyrics

You know the feeling when your back is up against the wall
People say they love you but you ain't convinced at all
Tell them they're full of shit they tell you you're insecure
Calling you immature, does that make sense to ya?
You ever feel like it's you against the world?
Like everybody is scheming even your only girl
Your home boy seem to be counting your money
Tell him you ain't got it and he's looking at your fund
Feeling like I prolly need to even leave the game alone
And even be the cheat that bang the chrome and get his name on

How does this saigon story end how? Know what they're saying but now
They say I'm a killer, I feel I'm entitled as I can be
And don't let your... as... me, I can be no villain
Ya all can't bring me down, ya all can't bring me down
Ya all can't bring me down, I can be no villain, ya all can't bring me down

I'm too high but it's not from the drugs, it's not from the drinks
It's not from my night at the club, it's not from my... not when I cop from the dealer
I would tell you but if I'd tell you, then I gotta kill you
I've been around the low while looking kind of scared
It's... my Corvette is still wet behind the ears
Some niggers look hard, but I don't feel the dread behind this fear
I'm looking for fixing, they could be volunteers
And there's somebody jump out the window and try to stop me
I wait the niggers to shoot'em like I was a paparazzi
Man these... knock'em a Masserati
And jump off the back, turn your block into Nagasaki
I shouldn't have to always make an issue with the pistol
Just to prove the... that here tissue to the gristle

How does this saigon story end how? Know what they're saying but now
They say I'm a killer, I feel I'm entitled as I can be
And don't let your... as... me, I can be no villain
Ya all can't bring me down, ya all can't bring me down
Ya all can't bring me down, I can be no villain, ya all can't bring me down
I'm too high but it's not from the drugs, high on life, yo, I'm from above
Ya all can't bring me down, ya all can't bring me down
The in principle saigon, 1 2 3 go
They say I'm a killer, I feel I'm entitled as I can be
And don't let your... as... me, I can be no villain
Ya all can't bring me down, ya all can't bring me down
Ya all can't bring me down, I can be no villain, ya all can't bring me down.

1) Saigon (born Brian Carenard, 1978) is an African-American rapper. Born in Newburgh, New York, He spent his upbringing moving between immediate and extended family members in Spring Valley, New York and Brooklyn as well as parts of New Jersey and Virginia. He cites his mother's inattention towards him due to the new arrival of numerous younger siblings as being the catalyst for his roughly 15-year rebellious period. At age 11 he began selling marijuana and at age 13 he had joined in a neighborhood gang. By the time Saigon reached 15 he had already been involved in at least two shootings for which he received jail time. This would be his home for the majority of the next several years of his life as he was "raised" in the New York Penal System. While incarcerated, he took the stage name Saigon from the influential Vietnam War book “Bloods” by Wallace Terry, which he read while he was serving time in prison.

He is currently signed to Just Blaze's Fort Knox Entertainment record label and is working on his major label debut entitled The Greatest Story Never Told for a November 2006 release, which has now been postponed to a later unannounced date.

He appeared on the second season of the HBO television series Entourage and this is credited as being a big boost to his career to the point where the mainstream U.S. population is beginning to recognize him as opposed to simply his previously small following. He also appears in the third season.

He also performed separate tracks with both Australian hip hop MC Phrase and singer Daniel Merriweather in 2005.

MTV News reported that on January 19th 2006, Saigon was stabbed in the temple with a beer bottle as he left a dinner in the Chelsea section of New York. A man approached Saigon and attempted to steal a chain of his, worth $18,000. When Saigon grabbed it back, a fight started. Saigon, bleeding from the head, tried to hail down a taxi (not wanting to get blood in his Mercedes Benz) but was unable to and drove himself to Bellevue Hospital where he received seventy stitches.

2) S​aigon is also the name of an early 80s 3 piece Post-Punk band from Leamington Spa. Their music was released through First Floor Records.

3) Also the name of a Swedish heavy metal band.

4) Punk band from orange County California. Released a self-titled EP in 1981.
