What if half the things ever said
Turned out 2 be a lie...
How will u know the truth?
If u were given all the answers
Would u stop 2 wonder why?
And how will u know the truth?
Everybodys got a right to love
Everybodys got a right to lie
But the choice u make aint no piece of cake
It aint no mf piece of pie
{clock ticks}
What if times only reason?
Was to give us all somethin 2 fear?
And if so yall, the end of the journeys so clear
Questionnaire, who did u stand 4?
Questionnaire, who did u save?
When it gets right down to the wait a minute
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
When it gets right down to it u took more than u gave
Everybodys got a right to love
Everybodys got a right to lie
But the choice u make aint no piece of cake
It aint no mfmf {o(+> screams the following} piece of pie {computer blips}
Mmmm oh
Gotta tell the truth yall
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth yall
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth yall
Gotta tell the truth
If there was just one day
That everybody tell the truth
It's not natural If it goes against God
It's not factual Her truth is not hard
It's not natural If it goes against God
It's not factual Gimme the truth!
Listen to the lyric as the negative is shrinkin
It's shrinkin out your life when you decide to change your thinkin
One of the first things we gotta switch around of course
Is Jesus Christ, and him dying on the cross
You're looking at the cross, surrounded in it's mystery
With Jesus on the cross in a, total misery
Now seperate Jesus from the cross so you can see
The truth about the cross, and the cross's history
The cross was created by the Roman government
It's only purpose and use, is cap-i-tal punishment
But Jesus Christ, was all about the revolution
While the cross was used as Jesus Christ's execution
See what if Jesus Christ, was hung upon a tree
Upon every church wall, that's exactly what you'd see
If Jesus Christ, was shot in the head with no respect
We'd all have little gold guns around our neck
If Jesus Christ was killed in electic chair, now get it
You'd be knealing to the electric chair with Jesus, still in it
You gaze upon the cross, and you see the execution
You yell stop the violence but the cross you're still using
It's not natural If it goes against God
It's not factual Her truth is not hard
It's not natural If it goes against God
It's not factual Gimme the truth!
So I say listen, listen, open up your third eye vision
God is not down with religion
Religion they be sellin it, listen up, God is intelligent
Reading of the bible is irrelevant
You gotta look within yourself, not a scripture
KRS-One comes to rearrange the God picture
If you sit and believe, you can acheive
If you sit and accept, you don't know, what's correct
or incorrect, take for instance Adam and Eve
The first two people on the planet, or so you believe
Their first time in heaven kids they had, Cain and Abel
Huh, now let me show you why the story's unstable
According to the story, according to what you believe
There was only Cain, Abel, Adam, and Eve
on the whole planet, now use your intellect
and tell me, what did Cain and Abel do for sex?
Upon the whole planet there was not another
Could it be for sex, heh, they were looking at each other?
Hold up! I thought the church wasn't into that
But wait, still yet, there is another fact
How did the world get populated?
Now tell me if I'm wrong, but obviously Eve had it goin on
Think for a minute, I know it gets notorious
But yo G, check out the chorus
It's not natural If it goes against God
It's not factual Her truth is not hard
It's not natural If it goes against God
It's not factual Gimme the truth!
[Rich Nice]
Yo yo...
Yo bring that back
I wanna say something on this BlastMaster session
Yo this is Rich Nice
You brothers gotta stop treating these hoes like nice girls
and these nice girls like hoes
[KRS-One]
True indeed, I'd like to welcome the rebirth of the Goddess
Word up it's all about knowledge of self
The story of the unhappy love of the Knight Tristan and the beautiful
Isolde. Tristan was a young and violant knight full of charm and pride
who loved music and games. He was supposed to ask for the hand of Isolde
in the name of his uncle, King Marke. But love flamed up between them -
though it was their tragic undoing.
Braveness, courage, fortitude
Guide Tristan on his way
Hunting, fighting, risking all
There's no way he could fail
When he plays harp the angels sing
Enchanted by its melody
Falcons made obedient
No anger and no jealousy
But what's all the virtue worth
When the highest wish's refused
When desire's never stilled
And your love remains taboo
Some heavenly moments with her
Did fade away too fast
Now is the time to sacrifice
And to erase the past
Magic potion
Crystal clear
It's too late
Open lips and
Open heart
Tristan's fate
No escape, your fate is sealed
Your longing will never cease
Dream away and she'll be yours
Dream and put your mind at ease
Give her to another man
Your common roads do part
Destiny separated you
But forever melted your hearts
(Difford/Tilbrook)
I lied to you, I've cheated too
So what friend can I be
But still you stick through thick and thin
Hoping that you'll change me
I towed the line then fell behind
Our love began to wane
The pressure grew and then I knew
That things were not the same
The truth
It's the toughest thing to explain
The truth
Playing tricks with me again
When the truth has to be told
My blood runs hot and cold
The truth is not my middle name You threw a rope attached with hope
Way down into the sea
Where lovers swim so deep within
The tides of mystery
For what it's worth I don't deserve
A girl as strong as you
You're worth much more than me I'm sure
Accept this as the truth
In the blue of the evening when the sun is low
There's a shadow that creeps across my cell block floor
And it comes to remind me what I'm in here for
No, I'm not admittin' that I done the crime
I'm only getting down to doin' time
The passin' of day is no concern of mine
There's a guard on the second shift comes on at three
And he's always about a half inch off of me
Like he needs to keep remindin' me that I'm not free
God forgive him 'cuz he doesn't see
He's no less a prisoner 'cuz he holds a key
and God forbid he turn his back on me
For every wall you build around your fear
A thousand darker things are born in here
There fed on contempt for all that you hold dear
The truth is it doesn't matter what you do
'Til you gaze in that mirror with an eye that's true
And admit that what scares you is the me in you
I was arrested for disturbing the peace
But, hey, I was disturbing the war
I was waving a small white handkerchief
Singing "please don't fight no more"
And I thought there'd be an army each side
But there were just two guys wearing very bad ties
So I shouted until my throat went hoarse
And they cut out my voicebox of course
I was taken to court in a city of gold
Where silence is a sure sign of guilt
And you can't speak out in your own defense
Or be heard over worlds being built
And the trial was a farce as befitted a place
Where comedy and tragedy share the same face
The judge read the verdict, a curtain was raised
An audience roared out it's praise
And I said
"where's the truth around here today?
Where do fact and fiction separate?
Who's the bug guy that we have to pay
To find the truth around here today? "
It all made the news but the story was wrong
And the photo wasn't even of me
And the great God I love, he intoned from above
You shouldn't sniff at free publicity
But it wasn't the voice I'd expected to hear
It was thin and unclear like richard gere
And somebody said "god's had a bad fall
That's his manager taking his calls"
And I said
"where's the truth around here today?
Where do fact and fiction go their separate ways?
I thought we were much too clever to pray
But where's the truth to find the truth? "
I was put in a cell for the whole afterlife
But my mind was just as free as can be
Somebody said, "just your body's enchained"
And you can guess how that encouraged me
So I wandered and roamed for the rest of my days
I was clearing my name, I was apportioning days
And then I woke up, it was all a dream, all was well
But when I woke up, I woke up in my cell
And I said
"where's the truth around here today?
Where do fact and fiction separate
No-one wants to be the one to say
Where's the truth around here today? "
And I've collected all these thoughts
And I'm dying just to lose them
And if your words are true or not
I'll die trying to prove them
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me to do is to trust you
Convince me
Because I really need your help
Oh convince me
Because I can't see this for myself
I'll put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
This is so unnerving
I know you've never lied to me before
But the things you're telling me
I can't yet believe
Yet can't ignore
But I'll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that's left
For me to do is to trust you
Put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
It's a world full of cynics
Who say to stay alive in it
You gotta stick with what you know
But the soul is always aching
For the heart to start taking
A chance by letting go
So let go
Let go
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
Confide in what you'll do
Cause sometimes when you're trying to sleep
And all your doubts and your faith don't agree its cause
They feed us brainrot, and tell us that it's true
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded, and folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil...
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Subtraction, to the time left in your life
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Substraction, but all we really want,
all we really want, is truth
Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize
[Chamillionaire - Talking]
Yeah...
Chamillionaire..Mixtape Messiah baby
Always wanna know something bout me man
Wanna know somethin bout me?
Don't judge me..don't judge me by my music
And don't judge me bout what you heard about me either
Chamillionaire..listen
Ay, My father was Muslim my momma's a Christian
I couldn't even look surprised when they said they was splittin'
Wasn't no bacon or grits in, off in the kitchen
It was missin', plate was full of non-nutrition
I was born skinny the hunger was forced in me
To get angry at my lifestyle, no smile wasn't born friendly
Born with a thorn in me, I'm scorned so I'm pourin' Remi
I'm thinkin' that's boys feel me, but boys is avoidin' me
Oh, got to excuse me for givin' you the truth
And being the type to give proof that you givin' an excuse
You gotta excuse me for gettin' in the booth,
and keepin' it real about life while you livin' in the poof...
fantasy, damnit he, isn't as big a man as me
If I tell him the truth he need to hear then he gettin' mad at me
The truth could hit ya as hard as assault & battery,
and make people that used to run with me switch up and challenge me
But ain't we family? yall forgettin' what yall were
Forget what ya boy heard, cuz this is 'bout more words
It's all 'bout communication but niggas ignore verbs
If ya boy shouted I'm hatin', then that got ya boy served
Don't deny it if you a man, so you should be man enough
I'm far from feminine we take pisses while standin' up
They smokin' on cannibus while they tell us they jammin' us
Look a fan in the face and ask em' "Are you a true fan or what"?
"Are you really a fan of us"? or are you type to switch
and get pissed and bootleg the disc cuz I'm not, droppin' em' quick
They love ya and then they diss, they hug ya and then they hiss
They happy when you arrive and go right back to being pissed
Honestly man, I don't really even give a damn
Instead of being who you want me to be I be who I'am
I'm livin' life of my family and live life of Cham'
I don't live life for my fans
And don't, switch up my words just let me explain my thought
I appreciate ya support, I appreciate if ya bought,
my cd's with all ya heart but this music is just an art
But it's not as precious as life in the middle is where I'm caught
Lookin' out for my people, my motive is never evil
My motive was never see-through, my motive was always equal
Outsiders would lie and try to promote it they out (to) decieve you
They give a notice to you, but don't give a notice to me too
Ya, that's somethin' I call divide and conquer
They try to get inside the monster to divide the monster
So they can become the monster, then they'll try to stomp ya
Inside the circle of friends is where you'll find imposters
To hell with yall niggas
[Chamillionaire Talks about all the controversy and clears all the rumors]
[Song Ends after Talking]
Say what you want, mean what you say
Remember the deepest seeds still find the light of day
Do as you please, and be who you be
I'm telling you, this thing's gonna bring you to your knees
(chorus)
The truth is what we need, it is the end of mystery
You know the truth will set you free
The truth is out there, the truth is out there
I am living proof that the Spirit moves
It's a Holy interceding absolute
Say what you want, but you've got to believe
There's a dimension that the eyes haven't seen
The secret is out and people are coming clean
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Our search is not in vain
The truth is out there
God has prepared a way
The truth is out there
To save the human race
The truth is out there
Say what you want, but you've got to believe
There's a dimension that eyes haven't seen
The secret is out and God knows I'm coming clean
You can't sleep, you're restless
And slightly obsessed with falling too deep
And malfunction, you're a virus
Who's intention is fucking up something
You're a crater
On the face of a problem much greater
It's the violence, or lack thereof control
Body and soul, digging a hole
Is the blood stainless?
Enjoy the pain with accepting your grief
Are you finished?
Dumb fucking question, don't let yourself fall asleep
Ressurect the intention
Once your vision is now mass-produced,
Imagine the insults a blessing
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Just imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
The pendulum swinging
Hypnosis has taken control, now you linger
On a shadow of a doubt
Have you really figured what you're all about?
Don't trust your instincts
Just open the chamber where you keep those darkest regrets
All the things you've done wrong
Rebellious at heart all along
Is your leader a voice?
Somehow you replaced all your game with a debt
Now the payback's a bitch
Why owe your life to a bitch?
Absolutely pathetic
And regret it when told you are made of mistakes
Imagine the insults a blessing
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Now speak to your leader!
Now speak to your leader!
Your father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil
Your father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth

We are alone
There’s weight on your mind
I wanna know
The truth, if this is how you feel
Say it to me
If this was ever real
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth
So this is you
You're talking to me
You found a million ways to let me down
So I'm not hurt when you're not around
I was blind
But now I see
This is how you feel
Just say it to me
If this was ever real
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I know that this will break me
I know that this might make me cry
You gotta say what’s on your mind, on your mind
I know that this will hurt me
and break my heart and soul inside
I don’t wanna live this lie
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts
I don’t care no more, no
Just give me the truth, gimme' the truth

Cause I don’t care no more, no
Just give me the truth
Give me the truth[4x]
I feel like I've been put on trial with you
I know that something's wrong and I'm the one accused
When the verdicts in, it's us who's gonna lose
I can't wait for you to finally hear the truth
Cause I shouldn't have to plead my case
So much love to save
If you listen to the things that your friends say
You're gonna be lonely
How can you treat like that
When I give my all to you
Cause I haven't been messin' around
I would never go out
And do the things you don't want me to do
Cause I can tell you right now
That you will never find the evidence on me
And that's the truth
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
And that's the truth
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I need a lawyer just to talk
Cause they're tellin' you what to say
They wish they had what we have
And its jealousy thats in the way.
Cause I can't sit round
And watch them build a case
Cause theres no savin' us now
I'm just doing this to clear my name
Cause I shouldn't have to plead my case
So much love to save
If you listen to the things that your friends say
You're gonna be lonely
How can you treat like that
When I give my all to you
Cause I haven't been messin' around
And I would never go out
And do the things you don't want me to do
Cause I could tell you right now
That you will never find the evidence on me
And that's the truth
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
And that's the truth
Oh, oh, oh
That's the truth
Cause I shouldn't have to prove my case
So much love to save
Save, save, save
If you listen to the things that your friends say
You're gonna be lonely
How can you treat like that
When I give my all to you
Cause I haven't been messin' around
And I would never go out
And do the things you don't want me to do
Cause I could tell you right now
That you will never find the evidence on me
And that's the truth
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
And that's the truth
At the primitive times
when the earth was born
Generations came and went
lived in ignorance
Somewhere in the Darkness of Time
lies open the ultimate fate of life
0132 ("Mullan rakoseen vaivun")
No one can show us the right way
is this enigmatic destiny
This way is going where we are coming from
Every time I need love I run to you
I run straight to you, because your love is true
Girl, nobody else can make me feel the way you do
Because the way you do, your love is true
Oh girl and that's the truth
I like the way you touch me, I like the way it feels
I'm glad that we're together and this here feels so real
Nobody ever told that it could feel like this
That I can find heaven, heaven with a kiss
Who ever knew you were the one, that is no doubt
You're what my momma was talkin' bout
Oh baby girl you got me
Every time I need some love I run to you
(For you)
I run straight to you, because your love is true
Girl, nobody else can make me feel the way you do
(You got me runnin' for you)
Because the way you do, your love is true
Oh girl and that's the truth
Oh damn I'm so addicted, addicted to you girl
Sometimes it even scares me because you've become my world
People think I'm crazy, sayin' I'm in to deep
It's more that meets the eye, that they could ever see, yea
Who ever knew that you were the one, that is no doubt
You're what my momma was talkin' 'bout
(Talkin' about)
Oh baby girl you got me
Every time I turn around I run to you
(Every time I turn around)
I run straight to you
(Fallin' in love)
Because your love is true
(Woah yea)
Girl, nobody else can make me feel the way you do
(Every time I need some love, you're right there)
Because the way you do, your love is true
(Oh, girl and that's the truth)
Oh girl, Aye
Every time I need some love I run to you
I run straight to you, because your love is true
(Oh girl and that's the truth)
Every time I turn around
Oh you're right there, oh' you right there, you pretty girl
(So fine)
Every time I need some love I run to you
It’s 3 AM, it’s cold outside, you can’t sleep.
Is it from your conscience talking to the skeletons you keep?
Every time you try to speak, only craziness comes out.
But she can’t turn the other cheek.
And you can’t hide how it comes out.
So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that’s not what got us here.
It’s 8 AM and still no sleep.
But you don’t care.
I don’t know why I keep on calling.
Does it get us anywhere?
'Cause every time I try to speak.
You never let my words come out.
I can’t turn the other cheek.
And I can’t help how this comes out.
So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that’s not what got us here
Honestly, I don’t know how you could see.
Something you once saw in me.
Just another volunteer.
Wonder if you ever lie awake in bed and think about the things you said.
Your dedication shows that you can’t see your eyes are closed.
And all the promises you made to me, they seem to fade and leave me with this disappointment.
That these words can never show.
When your ride is over and you’re hanging by a thread.
As your house of cards is falling, just remember what I said.
So when do you decide to embrace you hate to survive?
'Cause that’s not what got us here.
And honestly, I don’t know how you could see.
Something you once saw in me.
Tell the children the truth...
Your pussy band sounds just like shit
You're not punk rock
You're more like a punk trik
You corporate motherfuckers all suck a dick
I'm an anti-motherfuckin social independent
Fuck the life
I don't want a thing
You buy - you sell - you suck - you pig
Fuck the world
You're a lost consumer
You buy - you sell - you suck - you pig
You sold your time, your soul to Cosmo
In love with a name tag
How bout this toe tag
You got raped by the fags on TV
And the TV got raped by the FCC
Fuck the life...
How do you bite the hand that feeds?
How can I walk away?
I can't let them get away with this!
No I'm not just a nigga
I'm a punk rock nigga
So you know I got nothin to lose
I'd rather pull the trigga
And take away my own life
Before I hand it over to you
They feed us brainrot, and tell us that it's true
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded, and folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil...
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Subtraction, to the time left in your life
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Substraction, but all we really want,
all we really want, is truth
Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize
that you're in a fucking ditch
I've been putting on and putting off too many people
And I'm getting old to live like an injured man
Ailment and unfilled prescription like the nose on my face
Like a broken boat safety raft and a love for the water
And I just can't decide to sink or swim it's me or them
Should I save myself or go back for the others because
Maybe there's no gray and I was wrong to tell 'em so
And maybe all that I've to do was done a long time ago
'Cause there was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption before my sin
For the sake of the world I thank the Lord
That the truth's not contingent on me
I've been dressing up and dressing down for too many people
And I'm a little young to live like a troubled boy, a troubled soul
A fish out of water, 'cause we're all just the same
We're all just as good and just as bad and just as distracted
By the corners of our eyes as our fathers were and theirs before
And all those before them save the one with my record
And with the way I stare you'd think I'd seen through a two-by-four
And with the way I walk you'd think I'd never seen grace before
But I've been putting up and putting down too many things
That I know nothing about but I'm jealous of
feelin' high and feelin' low
you're just standing there
with no where to go
you can't win if you're all hooked up
one day you're out of luck and
there's no finding some
if you don't watch you're step
you'd better watch you're step cause
you will always lose
now depressions hit and you're after it
and that's a bad excuse
the wrong thing to do is to
pretend that you
haven't got a problem
you didn't have to cause this pain
to yourself
you can change anytime you want
just don't get in too deep cause
I'm worried
that that's gonna tear us apart
The Truth
It is the two
They turn the pages
Of the same book
It means nothing to them
The pages turned by the one
Is turned back by the other
It is the truth
They know it by heart
By the nothing inside it
It is nothing inside it
The book is the heart of them
The book is the heart of them
If we only knew the truth about it
Maybe we could work our way around it
Then maybe we could ignore that the shore
Used to be the edge
Explore more
Than our block or the next
City over
With nothing on our shoulders
But the clothes on our backs
And you leave us hear with nothing
Expecting no attack
With soilders on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things i do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
You think its crazy to think theres
Nothing to hide
Whenever theres a proposition
For me to decide on
Theres a million suggestions
With a million intentions
With the people getting richer
Off the people getting poorer
Its due for being over
Theres justice on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things i do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you said
Behind closed doors
On private Lines
More than just a lie or two about what really goes and what you said
More than just the right thing to do the time has just passed us up instead
Maybe we could work our way around it
Featuring: LL Cool J
Uhh, yeah, see, this is what these mix tapes is all about
Knah'msayin Kay Slay?
Talk to the people, with no interruptions and interference
Put that mic down, admire the technique and tight tight sounds
Of a renegade, never been afraid, the time is right now
Before I take my bow and finally allow
My love affair with rap to fade, I'll sink into the page
Pleasure and the pain that came from rulin' the game
And the half Dominican that gave me brains in the fast lane
A seventeen year reign, simple and plain
When I ruled the rap game and all my peers sold cocaine
One, three, two Uptown, when Rich Porter told me
See you can push a new car, it's different for a rap star
And AZ was givin' 50s to the homeless
They never bragged about it L, we don't condone this
On the back of the bike with Alpo
Doin' a buck down one, two, five, hopin' to stay alive
Favorite spot rooftop, me and big chuckle up
When he was hittin up Juicy and whatnot
Damn, when Dapper Dan got shot up
Before they made drops when we had to cut the top up
Some cats neglected the fact that L was hot
'Cause they warm and electin' me hot when I stepped in the spot
Lyrically reppin' the block on farmers to rock
But my sex symbol status made me, corny to cop
The microphone strategist ripped the apparatus
Left competition embarrassed but I never held malice
Kinda saw street literature
Used to lose battles on purpose so these cats can dream more
I wanna see y'all shine without the use of a nine
You might see a nigga, I see a black Einstein
A diamond in the rough, he's remidin' me as tough
Young girls takin' X, she's blinded by the stuff
Oh my God, where did we go wrong?
Are you doin' what you're doin' 'cause I ruined you with songs?
God forgive me, I never knew my power to devour the demons
Y'all know the devil be schemin'
It's a manifestation of the pain of a nation
That makes materialism the only thing we're chasin'
The real gangstas never talked to me tough
Never told me they was hard, or claimed to be my God
When I first found the courage to bounce up outta queens
And saw Big Dave comin' up out the store with money machines
My only dream was to rock mics in the spotlight
Joint bumpin' on Marley Show all night
Whoever thought that I would be a movie star?
A rap icon, chokin' the game like a python
Russell turned the hype on, exploded like a pipe bomb explosion
Just because a young boy, turned the mic on
Still admire skills and cats that are ill
With lyri-kills, nowadays the chorus is payin' the bill
The black man found a way outta the hood
Now it's slaves to edit mayor's not all good
Don't let 'em take our music and plagiarize the game
Then you call up and request it and pretend it's really flames?
The tip of the iceberg, I'll hold my piece
In the meantime, live smart, watch out for the beast
Lyrical Picasso flow masterpiece
Like Michaelangelo or Rembrandt, you know?
Si palare poco Italiano
LL bravisimo, grazie, prego!
M aacute;s mejor siempre mi amigo
Pero, music is muy muy duro
Tuacute; sabe, que tuacute; quieres es no problema
Te quiero mucho, yo comprendo your dilemma
Summer's comin, it won't always be winter
I pray to God He forgives me, I'm a sinner
That's a little message
All the brothers and sisters out there
Y'all be strong, keep your dreams flowin' baby
Kay Slay I'm out for presidents to represent me..
Let me tell you why I love him
Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly cause
his light it shines so bright I wouldn't lie
I remember the very first day that I saw him
I found myself immediately intrigued by him
Its almost like I knew this man from another life
Like back then maybe I was his husband and maybe he was my wife
And even, the things I don't like about him are fine with me
Because its not hard for me to understand him because he's so much like me
And its truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes
How can the same man that makes me so mad
-do you know what he did-
Turn right around and kiss me so soft
-girl do you know what he did-
If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad, no
Cause there's a blessing in every lesson
And I'm glad that I knew him at all
I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man from personal to universal but most of all its unconditional
-you know what I'm talking about-
Thats the way I feel
-and I always will-
There ain't no substitute for the truth
either it is or isnt
cause he is the truth
you see the truth it, needs no proof
either it is or it isnt
Cause he is the truth
Now you know the truth by the way it feels
and if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
cause he is yes he is
You must be safe when you fall in love
People need, the time you and I share together, compromise, try and see eye to eye, cause loves not
blind, it knows when you care
Always kiss ya lady, tell her that you love her, prayin make a baby that was made in love, show her
she's important, bring flowers for her, and build on the truth -2x's
if you take a little walk with me girl i'll lead you to the truth and if you never give up on
me, girl i'll share it all with you, show directions when I lost my way, I'll be around to stay, to show
you the truth truth
If you trust me, I'll make sure to build you up, through all your dreams, you and I will grow
together, forget your past, the love you had that never last, God knew your heart and I was made for you
Girl I won't mistreat you, always make love to you, go to church together, even get baptised to, we can
read the bible, play mommas father, this marriage is true
girl i'll show you the truth (girl I'll show you)
I'll show you (it don't matter, cause I love you baby (and I love you back))
you wont have to worry (we can walk in the truth together
i'll compromise (this love is the truth
I'll see eye to eye
you you you you
we can play mommies father
you can sit down and be
it dont matter what it is
I'll do it for you
[Music : Wunderlich, Doernberg / Lyrics : Doernberg]
I don't know where to go - I don't know what to say.
I don't know why to leave and what I'm gonna see today.
I don't know where you are - I don't know what you've found
But all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down !
Gimme the nightlights !
Gimme the rain !
Gimme the shadows of a faith gone down the drain !
Gimme the reasons !
Gimme a round !
And all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down !
I don't know why we fight - I don't know why we kill.
I don't know who's to blame and why we cheat and and always will.
I don't know who I am and why I was your clown
But all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down.
Gimme the nightlights........
Didn't they tell you `bout the truth ?
It's harder than the lie.
And after all these one night stands
you just kiss your tears goodbye.
Silent memories hurt my brain
- but your brain is not the thing
- it's the "below-the-kidneys-territory"
where the bells of fire ring.
So maybe in another world
or in another life
- some other place - some other time
some other one wheel drive.
What you give is what you get
- but what if you only take ?
The wrong way out but the right way in
and another heart to break.
The truth you cannot fake !
speak the truth don't you dare lie to me
I've seen it all before you disagree
the way you always attack all the things that you say
the way your turn your back and then you walk away
shut your mouth and open up your eyes
you better take your time and try to realize
that no one's free from sin and when I look at you
I scream within WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
you raise yourself up to a higher degree and look down in disgust at our misery
you're no better than your enemy
but it's easy to hate what you just can't be
don't deny the fact that you're a mortal man
you can't escape from death when it's close at hand
don't sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice
if you're to deaf to listen to the peoples
choice
truth tell me the truh the truth motherfucker
tell me the truth tell me the truth tell me the truth
the truth you sucker
you play us out and you take us all for fools
but I never understood who even made the rules
I'll make my stand against supermacy
cos hypocritical goverments threaten me
I know you ain't blind and I know you're aware
but your ego's to big for you to even care
the doors are wide open but your eyes are closed
you're unable to look any further than your nose
you open your mouth and all I hear is lies
you keep spreading your message that I despite
because the game you're playing is so easy to see
it's just another repeat of our history
you talk about peace it's a very strong word
it's always being said but it's never been heard
hi-tec weapons are here to reasure it
but I've never seen a time when they've done a shit for it
Truth.....
kick it to me now cos I just can't figure
take a small mistake and make a small one bigger
equality's a word have you ever even heard it
I guess not and you don't deserve it
turning your backs on the problems that surface
I get a feeling that you're doing it on purpose
your mide is SLIME so please resign
you can't control your own life don't try to tule mine
[Bliss:]
Ste right up, take a ringside seat bro
At the Hip-Hop big top, midnight freak show
Where kids fiend rap dreams that seem majestic
Line up at the Zoltar machine to get Big
And walk with giants who shake up the system
But behind the carnival curtain seet he makeup magicians
Wake up and listen, hear what's not for the public's ears
Pinocchio poets played by profiting puppeteers
Talent sharks want blood, rappers hook them with the Gat Talk
See a full fashion show, just look at the catwalk
Corporate snaes, boardroom fellas
Clowns that rap about their wealth are the fortune tellers
From fire flow breathers, come and witness the illuminance
To one hit wonder disappearing industry illusionists
Ringleaders with whips, quick, the 15 minute fuse is lit
My poems paint movie script imagery that's ludicrous
From Portland basements where the rapping is real
To sunset beat boxing in the African hills
I creep with a pack of dreamers who are deep in the mountain
The wildcat trampoolinists who are keeping you bouncing
Under the circus my thoughts design the sound effects
Jonathan Cash who Walks The Line without net
[Hook: Izm, Illmaculate]
Before judging me know that I hustle, I work
If I sold to someone you knowl try judging them first
It's like that till the day I lie under the dirt
I speak truth and shouldn't have to rhyme once in a verse
The proof is hidden right under my words
But to hear it you got to buy some of merch
Come get it, we go getters, this cold business
Is the reason me and my homies don't kick it and have grown distant
Record labels and gold diggers, there's no difference
They're both bitches only out for their own interests
I'm just another guy that's rapping
To justify my action while you run it by your captain
What has this even come to
You see the end result but don't see the hoops you feel the need to jump through
Don't let my speech corrupt you
Ignore the wrong and see the right this is leading up to
[Hook: Izm, Sapient]
This ship's been sunk in an industry of distate and mistrust
I rip stage till your ribcage lifts up
Trying to blow but the grenade pins stuck
Unrightfully so I'm a young likeness of dope
To the millions in the scene who try to build it
But look like little children bewildered by the king
I turn my back to them but I'm guiltess
How long I got to milk this before I gain fulfilment of the dream
They called you a failure, they called you a lost cause
They said you would never become anything at all
A generation with no direction
But when I look in your eyes
I see the prize yet to be claimed
[Chorus]
I'll say it once, I'll say it twice
That your life was worth the price
Paid for you, paid for me
And I believe that in you and I know you'll find the truth
I know you've been broken, 'cause I've seen the abuse
I know there's a place inside your heart
Begging for truth
For a softspoken answer that won't break your spirit
And when I look in your eyes
I see the prize that's yet to be claimed
repeat chorus
But that's not what they told you
When they said that they gave up on you
And you're nothing, and you'll never be anything
I wait for the day when you'll stand up and say
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
repeat chorus
the truth is that your girl really loves me
now she scratching all on my back when she hugs me
i would let you know but it would get ugly
jealousy wearing in your eyes when she touch me
tells me secrets, need to keep them
calls when you leaving, asking me to creep in
you would not believe it
i really don't either, she knows that we're brothers
why she wanna come between us
whoa, i think you should know, the truth
the truth is that i wish it never happened
wish that i could rewind, wish that i could take it back and
red lipstick places you cannot imagine
cellphone buzzing on the dresser she ain't answer
i know it was a mistake, we just couldn't think straight
i left the club mad late, pulled in the valley
she was at the bar, sipping with her home girls
the way she waved at me, i forgot that it was your girl
whoa, i think you should know, the truth
the truth is that i don't know how to say this
the truth is that i know that this is gonna sound crazy
kept it from you so long now i can't take it
so i understand as a man if you hate me
you see we got a problem, yeah a little problem
see when i hooked with your girl we never bothered
to reach for protection, we made an exception
so we made love no glove in the
so the morning after, right the morning after
before she took the first pill, told me how she really feel
she wanna have my babies, she think i'm the one
that boy that you think it's yours may not be your son
Hopelessly in love with death!
The beast, she breathes her lonely breath!
To cast away the last of love!
Until there's only heartache!
From love to lust! From death to dust!
The things we feel we cannot trust!
The emptiness consumes my blood!
Until this love's a burden!
[Chorus]
I know, I know
The truth that hides inside
I know, I know
The truth becomes the lie
I know! I know!
What it's like to burn alive!
Full is never burdened as empty as!
Rotting conscience left behind!
And they will bow! Down before me!
Pledge allegiance on one knee!
That there is nothing found, only hatred!
Fuck the world, it's just you and me!
[Chorus]
Is it the truth!?
Or is it a fucking lie!?
I speak the truth
Truth , nothin but the truth
Y'all know what I bring to the game I speak the truth
The truth , nothing but the truth
Hope you got an extra mic and a fire proof booth
'Cause you know I'm known to metal wire too
You need a fire engineer when I lay this blaze
I melt down cracks that's real to save
Hit the studio , jars of dro , bars to blow
B. Sigel with that arsenic flow
Fuck that , don't hold me back
I roll with crack , y'all cats told Mac to rap
Y'all don't realize y'all released the beast untame
Speech all flame , streets y'all blame
It should be an honor for y'all to speak my name
I could go before your honor sit and peep my game
Gotta laugh , y'all acted like it spit it the same
Why you motherfuckers can't get in the game
I come from high school , and go straight to the league
Who you know who can spit at the Sig
Nigga the truth , every time I step in the booth
I speak the truth , y'all know what I'm bringing to you
I bring the truth , you motherfuckers know who I be
I be the truth , when I speak cell set you free
Nigga the truth
Nigga the truth , every time I step in the booth
I speak the truth , y'all know what I'm bringing to you
I bring the truth , you motherfuckers know who I be
I be the truth , when I speak cell set you free
Nigga the truth
Aint nothin changed with Sig I'm still stuck in the kitchen
So what I'm signed , that's fine still stuck in position
You motherfuckers know me well , couple court cases from jail
Couple 4-4 shells from hell
Stuck on this mission , go home , my girl fussin and bitchin
Motherfucker won't you change your life , I'm thinkin
Motherfucker won't I change my wife
Ignorant bastard laughin like fuck the rap shit
It's just another hustle ,another way for niggas to touch you
Now they know the face of Beans
Now they , see my face on screens and I aint even chase this dream
I feel sorry for those who did
Y'all niggas can't stop the boar , whether rock or raw
I'm slingin coke in a rock valor
You niggas know what block I'm on , glock in palm
You wanna get shot , karate chopped or stabbed this song
Motherfucker
Nigga the truth , every time I step in the booth
I speak the truth , y'all know what I'm bringing to you
I bring the truth , you motherfuckers know who I be
I be the truth , when I speak cell set you free
Nigga the truth
Black Friday management , and Roc's the label
And I still hit you niggas with shots that's fatal
That bullshit vest can't save you
I had a doc open you up from chest to navel
See my face on cable , and have flashbacks of that cold ass table
And them hoes I gave you
I'm that nigga that'll come and pour salt in your wound
At the hospital , while the cops guardin your room
You gotta see what I've seen , look where I've looked
Touch what I've reached , and take what I've took
You gotta go where I've gone , walked where I've walked
To get where I'm at to speak what I've talked
You gotta lay where I've laid , stay where I've stayed
Play where I've played to make what I've made
You gotta move what I've moved , use what I used
Use tools how I use , use fools how I use
Nigga the truth , every time I step in the booth
I speak the truth , y'all know what I'm bringing to you
I bring the truth , you motherfuckers know who I be
I be the truth , when I speak cell set you free

And if I am a reflection of him then I must be fly
Because he is, yes he is
I wonder does he know -Echoes
by Joy Lynn White and Walter Egan
The truth sometimes can be unkind
It can be brutal hurtful and mess with your mind
Just when you think you've got it all figured out
The truth comes along and tells you what it's all about
Sometimes the truth can be unkind
Oh the truth sometimes will let you down
It can be cruel make you a fool and push you around
Just when you think you're standing tall
The truth comes along and makes you feel so small
Sometimes the truth will let you down
Happiness used to be a kiss away
How I wish I could kiss you today
Oh baby you threw it all away
Happiness used to be a kiss away
How I wish I could kiss you today
Oh baby hear what I say
Oh my sweet baby
You threw it all away
Oh the truth I don't want to know€
[Intro: Bishop Lamont - talking]
The following view expressed in the recording
In no way reflect the thoughts of my label
It's just me. Stacee Adams, every motherfuckin' hood in America
Every ghetto in the world. Niggas feelin' the same way
[Verse 1:]
[Bishop Lamont:]
So on huff, niggas think I'm roided
This west coast shit, you punks almost destroyed it
Wack ass, backwards niggas always spill it to spoil it
Take a shit in the sink and wash they hands in the toilet
[Stacee Adams:]
Man it's the pinnacle
Five star general, slash criminal
With guns on the hunt for the cash, a hundred mil or two
Ask Adams and Bishop
Same difference
Two of the best, come from the west on the same mission
Blood or Crip, I got love for this shit
We can all buy cribs, throw dubs on the six
[Bishop Lamont:]
But see, niggas like him, I can't fuck with them
+Follow The Leader+ is classic, but I don't follow the trends
Niggas do what's ever out cause they say that it's in
Hmmm, if you don't get it, nod your head and pretend
Goin' out like that, being a bitch to get wealth
I'm a vampire in the mirror, I can't see myself
[Chorus x2: Bishop Lamont]
Niggas say they the truth but can't handle the truth
They say they keep it real but homie where's your proof?
Real recognize real no matter the distance
Go all around the world, it's the same damn difference
[Verse 2:]
[Bishop Lamont:]
The president got guns and sell drugs like the gangstas and thugs
But all you see on TV is us
The Terminator kid took you for political advancement
Damn I wonder why they still ain't killed Charles Manson
Or Richard Ramirez
Ain't they murderers?
I guess ex-gang bangers are worse than Satan worshipers
I'm like, "God damn. He was writin' children books.
They writin' pentagrams in they hands"
[Stacee Adams:]
They try'd to give a nigga 20 years for a gun without a trail
All the while
The pastor at church is a pedophile
What kind of sick fuck violates an innocent child
Same nigga pull a K out and shoot in the crowd
Like a bitch fuckin' niggas for free, she's still whorin'
Same difference
Might as well get paid for it
It's like a race against time, who can die the richest?
Whether it's crime or you get it legit, same difference
[Chorus 2: Bishop Lamont]
Niggas say they the truth but can't handle the truth
They say they keep it real but homie where's your proof?
Real recognize real no matter the distance
Go all around the world, it's the same damn difference
[Verse 3:]
[Bishop Lamont:]
I love Pooty Tang but fuck Chris Rock
John Lennon was assassinated, what about Pac?
And Biggie
Didn't all three get shot?
It's the same damn difference, they just niggas off the block
The plot
Get's thicker if you want it to
Shit, I think they killed Eazy, I'll explain on part two
It's a story about power and greed and dividends
And how they did Eazy Ruthless when he made?
[Stacee Adams:]
Shit, they might as well said, "Fuck it"
Put the gauge to this chin
Same difference
Another legend lost in the end
They tell me, keep my friends close and my enemies even closer
For the bread?
Your own brother will butter you with the toaster
It all revolve around money and power
Arrest us for sellin' cane when they supplying the powder
It's contradicting
Dollars and cents
Politicians just as crooked as the niggas in jail
Same difference
[Chorus x2: Bishop Lamont]
Niggas say they the truth but can't handle the truth
They say they keep it real but homie where's your proof?
Real recognize real no matter the distance
Screaming voices trap inside the truth
Now it's time for change
And hope this is for real
Sick of the illusion
Fake is what we believe in
And recognize we all just want to fit in
This is a warning
Go make the choice
There's no time to be
Lost and confused
I can't take much more
Resting on our laurels
Expanding the head of ignorance
Last year's legends
Have fallen to the graves
But who am I to preach?
Find the answers for yourself
And you will understand
We're all a bunch of fakes
And never seem to admit it
We are all the same
Oh, how lost we are
The pathway seems to fade
And so confused
Can we still be saved?
Forgot to read between the lines
To break away from this design
Or we never did
Oh, how lost we are
Lost and forgotten obscured
I'm so confused
Blurry visions from your point of view
Forgot to read between the lines
Or we never did
We have buried ourselves
To the depths of conformity
Surrounded ourselves to the herd of mindless sheep
this is the death of a culture
That was once so sincere
We have succumbed to a trend
That we once fed
What if I, lead a different life,
Would you stay, stay?
What if you, could only speak the truth,
what would you say, say?
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
There's a part in everyday,
where I lie to myself and say that it's okay.
'cause if I don't I think I'll go insane.
But the truth is, I only have myself to blame.
Explain to me how you're so damn naive,
think I don't see, see.
Forget what I said you're only good in bed
or on your knees, knees.
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
There's a part in everyday,
where I lie to myself and say that it's okay.
'cause if I don't I think I'll go insane.
But the truth is, I only have myself to blame.
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
There's a part in everyday,
where I lie to myself and say that it's okay.
'cause if I don't I think I'll go insane.
But the truth is, I only have myself to blame.
There's a part in everyday,
Lying next to you
Wishing I could disappear
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin, oh yeah...
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Abused used the way we felt
Dirt cheap the way you dealt
Talk talk nothing's said
Speeches promises don't mean a thing
Empty words from your mouth
Token actions gave you clout
Time's now to end your luck
No more talks cause we don't give a fuck
About your alibis, about your lies
and all your excuses
Think we can't handle it
Think we would cave in, why don't you try it
No more stories, no more double talk
and no more cover ups, we just want the truth!
Abused used the way we felt
Dirt cheap the way you dealt
Talk talk nothing's said
Speeches promises don't mean a thing
Empty words from your mouth
No one cares what it's about
In the past give us proof
No more talks, we just want the truth!
And what about the youth
Never told the truth
Never told what it's all about
It's all about the wealth
There's no one there to help
and everyone's looking out for themselves
Put our faith in you and our trust too
Have you no conscience
We know the story, it's money and glory
Don't care who you step on
No more speeches, no time for apologies
We heard it all before
All of your alibis, all about your lies
and all your excuses
Think we can't handle it
Think we would cave in, think we can't take it
No more stories, no more double talk
No more cover ups, we just want the truth!
That, which sleep
Is a part of the soul
That, which watch
Is a part of the watching
I know what I am looking for
And I am looking for things
I already know
Contradiction and duality
Contradiction and unity
Of different levels
Of perception
I am wandering
To the innerspace
Of soul
I am looking for the truth
Cause this is my path
Cause this is my destination
Love under will
The key of develop
From rationality to purification
And at the end
The shapeless flame
Wirling voice
The child wilding the bow of light
Standing on horseback
Painted in gold
Symbols united as the lion
What if I, lead a different life,
Would you stay, stay?
What if you, could only speak the truth,
what would you say, say?
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
There's a part in everyday,
where I lie to myself and say that it's okay.
'cause if I don't I think I'll go insane.
But the truth is, I only have myself to blame.
Explain to me how you're so damn naive,
think I don't see, see.
Forget what I said you're only good in bed
or on your knees, knees.
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
There's a part in everyday,
where I lie to myself and say that it's okay.
'cause if I don't I think I'll go insane.
But the truth is, I only have myself to blame.
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
There's a part in everyday,

[Warrior of ice:]
As I look deep in the dark
I can see great ice queen
She's starts to tell me the story
[Ice Queen:]
I knew that someday you will come
You're my one and only son
I can prove it if you want
Before the coldness and the snow
Town was possessed by evil force
Who enslaved the people
He wanted town to his command
And he killed those who resisted
I made it conclude
So I froze him under our town
Or he would forced all of us down
Here: Some times ago
Our world was ruled by the mighty eagle
Who tried to kill all the "life" in this place
By using his fire and rage
But this time when you came here
I lost the control of his "life"
I must keep him deep ice
He is your father fire lord
He won't die by any sword
You must try to believe
The only way to keep the town alive
Is coldness and winter all the time
Here: Some times ago
Our world was ruled by the mighty eagle
Who tried to kill all the life in this place
By using his fire and rage
[Solo]
The only way to keep the town alive
Is coldness and winter all the time
There: Was the reason for you
There's nothing else that you can do
Here: Some times ago
Our world was ruled by the mighty eagle
Who tried to kill all the life in this place
So I crawl down the stairs to the truth that is
sleeping alone on a bed
The mosquito net weeping above
That lazy old truth
Been lying there for weeks
So I throw myself onto the bed
And onto the mercy of the truth who is stirring
And trying to cheer up the net
And afterwards me
And I'm feeling weary
Cause I could go on and on deluding myself
Wading in the shallows
I am waiting for something else to come along and put
things in order
Meanwhile, I raise my arms above the water
Ready, I am in position
Just promise you'll be here soon
So all of the people around, I don't wanna grow old
like them
Bracing and grabbing too tight to not much
But I start feeling tired a little earlier each day
So I'm looking to rearrange the dawn
To tidy up the order of events
And unwind every thread of regret
But take that away
And what is there left?
From now on I know it'll be different
[Pharoahe Monch]
Truth had me up against the ropes
and semi-concious without no boxing skills
Fear of it makes hair on my neck grow like minoxodil
Watchin the clock is ill when, faced wit the truth
Parallels observing, amateur video tapes of
Twenty-one top notch NYPD cops get ill
Fill they minds not to kill still son, never revealed
True feelings, we speakin on the truth right now in itself is healing
See The Creator, created existence and balance
At right angles, unless it was conceived and stated
So whoever shall stray away from right lives wrong
The deliverance of the word false opposite of truth off course
Sure as my slave name sending
Troy Donald Jamerson paves the path, enabling truth
To stay stable and cling to EARTH!
Sorta similar to the way static electricity sting see
Truth brings light, light refracts off the mirror
Visions of yourself and error could never clearer
The truth is that you ugly, not on the outside
But in the inside on the outside you frontin you lovely
The discovery of these things and all are well-hidden
But when you in denial of self it is forbidden, that's the truth
[Female singer]
In due time we will find
[Common] *speaking behind vocals*
See it everywhere, gotta recognize it
Let the truth be told from young souls that become old
>From days spent in the jungle, where must one go
To find it, time is real, we can't rewind it
Out of everybody I met, who told the truth? Time did
We find kids speakin 'cause it's naturally in us
But the false prophets by tellin us we born sinners
Venders of hate, got me battlin my own mind state
At a divine rate, I ain't in this just to rhyme great
See the truth in the thighs of a stripper, the eyes of my nigga
If it's only one, then why should it differ
So constantly I seek it
Wonderin why I gotta drink a six pack to speak it
Took a picture of the truth and tried to develop it
Had proof, it was only recognized by the intelligent
Took the negative and positive, 'cause niggas got to live
Said I got to get more than I'm given
'cause truth'll never be heard in religion
After searchin the world, on the inside what was hidden
It was the truth
[Female singer]
Truth, truth, truth, truth, truth, truth
In due time, we will find
[Talib Kweli]
Check it, on my neck I still got marks from the nooses
The truth it produces, fear that got niggas on the run like Carl Lewis
The truth is my crew is the smoothest bits of saliva juices like the roots is
More organic than acoustics
Heavenly ? set you free and kill you in the same breath
That shit you gotta get off your chest before your death, unless
The way you speak is lighter than a pamphlet
'cause the truth give the words away to the planet goddammit
I ran wit what God planted in my heart and I understand it
To be the bring the light to the dark, breathe some life in this art
This must be the truth (why?) 'cause we keep marchin on (true)
The truth lay the foundation of what we rockin on (true)
You can't see it if you blind but we will always prevail (true)
Life is like the open sea, the truth is the wind in our sail
And in the end, our names is on the lips of dying men
If ever crushed in the earth, we always rise again
When the words of lying men sound lush like the sound of a violin
The truth is there, it's just the heart you gotta find it in
[Female singer]
Well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride
I'd get past my pride, you'd be by my side
I wouldn't be holding on to memories
I wouldn't need them, you'd be here with me
That I was separate and complete, was my confusion
My reciprocity turned out to be retribution
So caught up with what I wanted you to be
Convinced that perfection meant spot free
Bwoy, look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is....
(Hook)
It may seem I'm holding it down
But if you wanna know the truth
I'm slowly losing my ground,
If you wanna know the truth
There's no one keeping me warm
If you wanna know the truth
I'm only good in your arms
If you wanna know the truth
I miss the way you used to say I wanna bone ya
But I have to resist the urge to phone ya
You must have moved on it's been over a year
And it wouldn't be fair to burden you with my tears
I know I said I didn't need you and I'd be alright,
But I got a much different story tonight
I miss your laughter such a beautiful thing
Now the silence closes in
Oh oh aye
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory and the moral of my story is...
(hook)
Oh oh, keep wishing
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is..
(hook)
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
Heavy would ease your troubled mind
How do the fade just stay behind?
I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry babe.. this is why I fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide
Your happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness
And the truth is you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago that I would have to let you
May not be true to see that you return one day
But in your present state you may as well not be here
at all
You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall
Now presiding in this quarter: hip-hop
Justice, my rap fort
Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting d.a.
Et ceteras, paraphas
My mode is operend
It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Comprende?
The people versus, you ain't no sensi
Teaching that style of word-play
We got the words they
Regardless what your friends say
They're all disable
Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
This long arm of the law grabs a mic
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The death sentence of this live litagator
Lose the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea
bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they're saying to pursuade them
They realize exactly how I've played them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
'cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin' with
lies will
I brew skill with free fills from now until
Plagerizing mc's get their flows distilled
Baby I don't die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms of burn
Baby I won't die just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that
yearn
I won't die, ? ?
I won't die if you're not by my side
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all
there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is

Tell 'em all I'm on vacation
Say I went to visit friends
That you ain't seen or heard
From me in quite a while
When they ask you where I've been
Tell 'em I'm out on the West Coast
Where it don't ever rain
And I'm probably doing fine
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anything you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Don't tell 'em all the truth
Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
Throwing every dollar I have away
Tell 'em that I must be into
Something bad for me 'cause
I sure lost a lot of weight
Tell 'em I'm out on the road
With some old rock 'n' roll band
Living like a Gypsy King
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anything you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Don't tell 'em all the truth
The truth is that I'm asking you to lie
We both know that it ain't right
If you ever loved me please
Baby, have mercy on me
Tell 'em anything you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Don't tell 'em all the truth
I still need you
Yeah, baby that's the truth
I still love you

'Queensbridge and we don't play'
'Tragedy's the name, figured I'd just remind y'all'
'Queensbridge and we don't play' ..

[Castro:] (Touch y'all, please don't make us buck y'all)
[Verse 1: Christ Castro]
Yo, the name's Castro, I'm out for pesos
Fuck sitting on my ass like you couch potatos
While you watch wrestlin', smellin what the rock is cookin
I'm in the crackhouse and rock is cookin
Been, locked in macks, with lots of bookings
Beat a nigga down, fuck if them cops is lookin!
Put that heater down son, cuz if you had to pop you wouldn't
You would show up every shortcake topped with pudding
Soft ass nigga, sweet ass nigga
I'ma torch that nigga, peep that nigga
R.I.P. that nigga, ????
See, I'm that nigga, my four fingers on that trigger
Beef me, you better pawn that vigor and buy some guns
'fore they find your lungs on your doormat nigga
Cuz I pack price that'll flush all your organs out
Make yo fam cut the price in your coffin out
Blood drip when the force come out
Slugs rip thru a nigga face blowin large portion out
Talkin bout, you mu'fuckers swear you live, through homicide
come and talk you out
Now you see what you get when your ass get carried away?
Now your ass gettin' carried away
[Chorus x2]
We are the Truth
We need no proof
Blowin' shots off roof
[Castro:] (Touch y'all, please don't make us buck y'all)
[Verse 2: Tragedy Khadafi]
Truth is truth, real is real, love is love
Kastro, Khadafi, Blood is Blood
We can go shot for shot, slug for slug
Hit you up, body bags zip you up
I am truly amazing, you cowards ain't phasing me
Mahdi, 2-5, the O-G
I cock back, and pop them thangs
You runnin off octane, you dont wanna lock with the God
Glocks'll bang
Overall, feelin my aura, feelin my style, who you think started this thug shit?
But meanwhile, ask Noreag and 'pone, who kept em in the zone
41st Side, Q.B
Bringin it home, homie we got that
Don't ever try to stop my grind, cuz in the meantime in between tyin my nine
Steady long, steady strong when you fuckin' with mine
And I'ma ?eep? regardless to the charges I'm a G
Discreetly, holdin my heat, 22's on my feet
Ask Havoc ask Nas, from Q.B. to South Prob y'all wanna fuck with the God
[Chorus x2]
We are the Truth
We need no proof
Blowin' shots off roof
[Castro:] (Touch y'all, please don't make us buck y'all)

...just hate, immense hate, neverending hate...
She gets up with her head swung down low down
Steps into the room
Please listen while I sing my song to you
"'cause it all slips away, it ends too soon
How in the hell did I get here
Let me tell you all why I sing the blues
Been in a daze for ten years
But I still can sing the truth
Heaven knows where we all go
All we have is what we get
When it's gone, when will I know
Because I haven't got it yet
She's swayin' to the swing of the music
Her arms wave in the air
She turns her head, our eyes make contact
It lets me know
How in the hell did I get here
Let me tell you all why I sing the blues
Been in a daze for ten years
But I can still sing the truth
Heaven knows where we all go
All we have is what we get
When it's gone, when will I know
Because I haven't got it yet
Did you find that ride? Did you finally fly?
While I sit here, kickin' and bitchin'
Sayin' gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme what's mine
I thought I had it all, I wanted more
No need for you, I slammed the door
I cut you lose
What are the chances that I'd walk in here
So tired of your fucking lies
So tired of your crap
We don't need your made up versions
We just want to hear the truth
... we just want the truth
[Roisin Murphy]
go ...
go to the mountain if you must
go to the burning bush
happy would easy your troubled mind
I'd be prepared to stay behind
I know you better than you think I do
don't worry dear, this is why I fell in love with you
the man in the looking glass
is looking back at you at last
you can't hide from the truth
because the truth is all there is [x3]
you can't hide ...
if happy times are too few and far between
it's a pity dear
we can't erase the things we've seen
so disappear
vanish if you wish
just go before you're swallowed up by fatalists
the truth is you can't hide from the truth
and the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago
that I would have to let you go
it may not be true to say
that you'll return one day
but in your present state
you may as well not be here at all
you wear a thin disguise
it's from yourself you hide
just take a look at us
we are heading for a fall
[J-Live]
now presiding in this court of hip hop
justice, my rap forte
is judge, jury, bailiff, or prosecutin DA
cause ceteris paribus
my modus operandi
is carpe diem
whether de facto or de jure
comprende?
the people versus
you and your sensei
teachin that style of wordplay
weaker than Wednesday
regardless of what your friends say
they're all dissable
stricken from the record
and deemed inadmissible
why this long arm of the law grabs the mic
to shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
the death sentences of this live litigator
close a case tighter than the jaws of a gator
stenographers are steady loggin
the jargon that your counselors are barkin
in hopes of a plea bargain
but when you read back verbatim
what they sayin to persuade them
they realize exactly how I played them
I come with the truth, whole truth, and nothing but
cause the truth hurts just as much as fucking with Live
will
I prove skills with refills from now until
plagiarizing MCs get their flows to steal
[Roisin Murphy]
baby I won't die
without you by my side
as long as you return
to these arms that burn
baby I won't die
just take a look inside
into these eyes that burn
come to these arms that yearn
I won't die if you leave me high
I won't die if you're by my side
and the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
[x2]
you can't hide from the truth
I know the pain, I feel it too and it's tearing us apart
Can you take a breath, push it aside
And pick yourself back up?
You know that the choice to live your life
Lies in the palm of your hand
You've got the answers you need, just look inside yourself
So much at stake, can't waste our time chasing standards
We never set
We know that the choice to live our lives
Lies in the palms of our hands
And with the struggles faced just to make it through the day
Stepped out of line and found a better way
So much at stake and we can't let our lives pass us by
And the only ones we'll ever chase
Are the standards that we set
Now's the time to leave all our mistakes behind
Because we've found the only truth we'll ever need
Every struggle faced and choices made will see us through
The words we've said, the promises kept
darling wait for me I’m coming home
keep those home fires burning bright
don’t leave me alone
night becomes day
i’ll find my way
the golden moment has arrived
the bluest of blue skies
all I see when I open my eyes
heartache all that misery
can’t hold back the light of my life
night becomes day
i’ll find my way
the golden moment has arrived
one step closer to the truth – to the truth
one step closer to the truth – to the truth
one step closer to the truth – to the truth
one step closer to the truth – to the truth
no words can say No words won’t mean a thing
Sit ther, I got something to say,
Let's take a little time, I got something to tell you,
We have no future,
My fingers through your hair,
Lost somewhere,
I live like I play,
Always too fats,
You want to see the landscape,
The landscapes there're grey,
Frustration, all I got inside, all I can't tell you,
Sit there, come close,
Cause time is not on my side,
Cause I got to ride,
Your arrogant sensuouness,
Makes me love you better at nights,
Hurts like a knife,
Takes up my mornings,
Takes up my life,
Wakes me at dawning
The truth,
That's my life,
Shows the world my fury
That's my life
Shows the world how it is
The truth is ugly and must be said
That's my life,
Shows the world it's face
War, chaos and death
You try to break my will and try to bring me down,
but I will persevere, my spirit remains sound!
All that I hold to be just and all that I hold inside in
this world gone to shit,
I’m standing strong and full of pride!
I know the truth and I know what’s right,
courage to face my foe, in the midst of chaos I’ll keep
up the fight!
The truth will conquer all and the truth will set you
free with justice as my shield,
I control my destiny!
Nothing is stronger than what I believe to be true,
the power I need to be destroy the threat of the Jew!
Now I know what I need, the feeling that I am right in
what I believe,
I know the truth will rise above all!
Sit and watch my victims as they fall-
the truth
often it's hard to find
the truth
sometimes it leaves you blind
the truth
it brings you to the light
the truth
the truth
it's hard to try
when you're always pushin those thorns in my side
can't bring back light
...when someone has stolen the sun
turn on blind
held you in balmain
took away your pain
i gave and i gave and i gave
i thought you were the truth
you say you lost your lover
and that you miss your best friend
till I found there's none in you
wings of stone i though you were the truth
you say you lost your lover
and that you miss your best friend
till I found there's none in you
wings of stone i though you were the truth
you were my muse
and the world surrounded you i was so into you
you say you lose
lost is a luxury baby that you can't choose
said you were confused
didn't know what to do
you fake and you fake i was fooled
i thought you were the truth
you say you lost your lover
and that you miss your best friend
till I found there's none in you
wings of stone i though you were the truth
you say you lost your lover
and that you miss your best friend
till I found there's none in you
wings of stone i though you were the truth
thought you were the sun
pure warmth shone upon
thought you were the moon
oh i fell too soon
you know i met you baby i though that you were the sun
i felt your presence and your pure warmth shone upon
and then the night fell hard and you were the moon
i rode your waves but i fell too soon
i thought you were the truth
you say you lost your lover
and that you miss your best friend
till I found there's none in you
wings of stone i though you were the truth
you say you lost your lover
and that you miss your best friend
till I found there's none in you

Then why was she gettin' it
Really shoulda told me you was
Dealing with her But instead you tried to play me
Like I had all your love
Everytime I asked you
You would tell me a lie
And I wanna know why
And I wanna know why
But it's alright, goodbye, So long, get gone, nice try
Next time you should tell the truth
You said she's a friend
But why she call me trippin'
Call me flippin'
I believed it when you told me
That you was feelin' lonely
And no one else could make you feel like this
Then why was she gettin' it
Really shoulda told me you was
Dealing with her But instead you tried to play me
Like I had all your love
Everytime I asked you
You would tell me a lie
And I wanna know why
And I wanna know why
But it's alright, goodbye, So long, get gone, nice try
Next time you should tell the truth
Boy you know the game
The best thing was just to be honest with me
Believed it when you said
I was the only one that you were seeing
I think it was a nice try baby
You hade me going a little crazy
But if I was the only one
Then why'd she tell me that she was getting it
Really shoulda told me you was
Dealing with her But instead you tried to play me
Like I had all your love
Everytime I asked you
You would tell me a lie
And I wanna know why
And I wanna know why
But it's alright, goodbye, So long, get gone, nice try
Next time you should tell the truth
Alright
Good bye
So long
Get gone
Nice try
Next time
I remember the day you left me heartbroken,
Now I'm hunted by the day when you told me it’s over.
I lost a part of me when you walked away.
No, no, no,
Girl, I’ve got something to say.
Chorus:
So hear me out loud!
They told you I was creeping,
That’s all lies!
They told you I cheated,
That’s all lies!
So hear me, I’m under,
No, no!
You need to hear the truth,
Let me tell you the truth!
No, I didn’t know I’d see her that night,
I didn’t feel no lost inside,
All I could see was you in my eyes,
Forever I thought you’d be mine.
I guess I let them take you away,
Cause your girlfriends filled your head with lies,
And you walked away, you walked away.
Feeling alone now, it’s over,
In all this pentagram I’m a lost soldier.
My mind is spinning like I’m on a roller coaster,
It’s about time I told you the truth.
Chrous:
So hear me out loud!
They told you I was creeping,
That’s all lies!
They told you I cheated,
That’s all lies!
So hear me, I’m under,
No, no!
You need to hear the truth,
Let me tell you the truth!
No, I didn’t know I’d see her that night,
I didn’t feel no lost inside,
All I could see was you in my eyes,
Forever I thought you’d be mine.
I guess I let them take you away,
Cause your girlfriends filled your head with lies,
And you walked away, you walked away.
I know we’re stoned as dead, we just can’t go back,
But I loved you so much it hurts, and baby girl, that’s a fact
But they took my baby girl away from me, left me lonely
Chorus:
So hear me out loud!
They told you I was creeping,
That’s all lies!
They told you I cheated,
That’s all lies!
So hear me, I’m under,
No, no!
You need to hear the truth,
Let me tell you the truth!
No, I didn’t know I’d see her that night,
I didn’t feel no lost inside,
All I could see was you in my eyes,
Forever I thought you’d be mine.
I guess I let them take you away,
‘cause your girlfriends filled your head with lies,
And you walked away, you walked away.
The Truth

# i swear to tell the truth
# the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
Now see I try to keep the peace
But your lies is killin me

And Dre is about to get with cha
I done messed around and spotted you

You done lied to me so much its painless
Boy you took mommies first seed for granted
Now your cheating ass is about to be strained
Cause most of ya'll niggas can't deal with the TRUTH
Be hatin when you woman start hit you with the TRUTH
Trying to turn it all around when you know it's the TRUTH
And you always running away from the TRUTH
You lied til you make yourself think it's the TRUTH
Undress the lie tell what you got TRUTH
Should have been up front and just told the TRUTH
But instead you wanna go and try to hide the TRUTH
Now see time and time again, You got away with murder
The bitch calls here again ,See I'ma have to hurt her
Fool that you roll with, He be hittin on me
You so busy parting, Your to damn blind to see
You don't think that I know that scheme
Your mess with the intelligence of a wise ghetto queen
Boy it ain't much you can get past me
I will leave yo ass crying take it from me
Cause most of ya'll niggas can't deal with the TRUTH
Be hatin when you woman start hit you with the TRUTH
Trying to turn it all around when you know it's the TRUTH
And you always running away from the TRUTH
You lied til you make yourself think it's the TRUTH
Undress the lie tell what you got it TRUTH
Should have been up front and just told the TRUTH
But instead you wanna go and try to hide the TRUTH
Mommy listen up you got me confused
Told you I was out smoking with my dudes
Then we pop Chrys right after we hit the Swiss
Then later on that night you ain't gonna believe this shit
There was a knock at the door
Now check it I'm bout to hip ya
The door opens what about ten or eleven strippa's
The first thing I did was went into a room to pick up
A phone to call you but no said the liquor
But now I got the hiccups
Hands up like a stick up
Got to come all up in here and hear your ass bicker
And after all that what make this shit the worse
Even though I'm wrong I admit the truth hurts
Hum. See some of ya'll niggas can't deal with the TRUTH
Be hatin when you woman start hit you with the TRUTH
Trying to turn it all around when you know it's the TRUTH
And you always running away from the TRUTH
See you lied til you make yourself think it's the TRUTH
Undress the lie tell what you got it TRUTH
Should have been up front and just told the TRUTH
(Verse 1)
It seems to be disasterous
When the walls come tumblin down
But defeat don't come to fast for us
Cause you don't complete me
And you won't defeat me
(Prechorus)
You can try but you won't defeat me
I don't lie that you won't defeat me
I won't die cause you won't defeat me
Just get back, get back, get back
(Chorus)
Just say what you feel
And say what you mean
Don't fear what the truth may have to bring
It may cut you deep but it cuts you clean
So this is your chance to be redeemed
(Verse 2)
Some say it may be blasfamous
That you keep on tellin these lies
But it happens to the best of us
So don't try to beat me cause you won't defeat me
(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus 2/3 continued)
Just say what you feel and say what you mean
Don't fear that the truth may ruin these things
You're caught in a web created by lies
Don't promise me everythings alright
(Bridge)
Cause I'm, so tried of being so shut out
So why cover yourself in so much doubt
Good bye, I'm letting it go
Why try, cause everything will fall back into place
Just get back, get back, get back
I cant feel like this ever again
The smell you put out, drives 100 men
I cant feel like this ever again
I cant breathe from those words you said
"But you cant even speak, you dont know where I am
And you cant even breathe, just turn and laugh again"
Cause, I know the truth
And I will hide it
I see you again, out on the street
You turn and look, and our eyes cant meet
It looks like you might disagree
But, I know that you, that you, fell for me
But you cant even speak, you dont know where I am
And you cant even breathe, just turn and laugh again
Cause I know the truth
And I will hide it
But you cant even speak, you dont know where I am
And you cant even breathe, just turn and laugh again
Cause I know the truth
And I will hide it
But you cant even "(can't even)" speak you don't where I
"(dont know where I am)"
And you cant even breathe "(can't even breathe)", just
turn and laugh again
"(turn and laugh again)"
Cause I know the truth
The truth is now revealed
And breaking through all lies
The final words written down
Ha truths none can deny
Enslavement, oppression
Inquisition, fascism
Racism, abuse of power
Manipulation
The roman emperor
Used people as his pawns
Just the same way as leader do now
Man in three-piece suits
You select the people
Just like Hitler did
You distinguish
The slave from the master
The truth
Control-state creating hate
The truth
Ignorant towards their fate
The truth
Leaders killing our trust
The truth
Pointing at you
I feel disgust
Possessed by money
No regards for human values
Greed and power
The servants of the leaders
You are the lowest scum on earth
It won't be long
As we look down on you
Our hordes become stronger
We'll just await the day
When all your might
Together we stand divided we fall
A saying that seems forgotten by all
If faith had a chance
Would you let yourself go
And truly enhance what's deep in your soul
I can't tell you what you know deep in your heart you'll find
Push a little further baby let love take your mind
The truth will come 3x
… to you
The truth will come 3x
… to you
Together we stand divided we fall
So much it seems can tear us apart
If hope had a will would you set out to fly
And have the child in you take the tears that pain cries
I can't tell you what you know deep in your heart you'll find
Push a little further baby let love take your mind
The truth will come 3x
… to you
The truth will come 3x
… to you
I can't tell you what you know deep in your heart you'll find
Push a little further baby let love take your mind
The truth will come 3x
… to you
The truth will come 3x
… to you
Well hello
You say you want to taste the truth
Just swallow it down
And it will all be over soon
Don't try to fight
Just listen to the sound of my voice
I know you want to run baby
But you don't really have a choice, don't have a choice
Cause they've become addicted
Turning our world to trash
And right now you are their victim
There is no turning back…
Your every move
They're watching you
And there is nothing you can do
Your every breath
Could be you last
Cause they will break your heart in two
No one can save you
Cause they will take you
Well hey you wanted the truth
When you sleep
When you eat
They're always there
Looking to bury the living
And bring life to the dead, to the dead
One hundred years of waiting
Thirty six thousand days
Fifty two million seconds
Six billion start to pray…
Your every move
They're watching you
And there is nothing you can do
Your every breath
Could be you last
Cause they will break your heart in twov No one can save you
Cause they will take you
Well hey you wanted the truth
They're gonna steal your soul
They're gonna take control
Playing games with your mind
And it's only a matter of time
Till your fighting for your life
Lay me down to sleep
Pray my soul you'll keep
They have become addicted
Turning our world to trash
And right now you are their victim
There is no turning back…
Your every move
They're watching you
And there is nothing you can do
Your every breath
Could be you last
Cause they will break your heart in two
No one can save you
Cause they will take you
The Dollar Bar, I'm Drinking
With my feet in cement
And "Fuck you, I'm Leaving"
What she said, yeah she meant
"And don't develop those pictures from our night spent at the lake"
You know i will just to rip them up, except for the ones you said not to take
And Here's The Truth
I am what you see
But not anything that you need
I'm starting to shake so I'll wait,
I'll take these pills to get better
I take 3 Everyday
"You act just like your Father"
She Screams through the phone
"I Don't wanna be your mother, 20 years down the road"
She'd rather be her brother with a kid left at home
College Boy get Girl Pregnant, but they're in love
Leave them Alone...
And Here's The Truth
I am what you see
But not anything that you need
I'm starting to shake so I'll wait,
I'll take these pills to get better
I take 3 Everyday
I'm Okay
Now I'm Fine
Who's poppin' prescription pills by the counter at night?
Now I'm fine (I'm not Fine)
I'm Okay (I'm not okay)
I'll get what i want one day
And Here's The Truth
I am what you see
But not anything that you need
I'm starting to shake so I'll wait,
I'll take these pills to get better
I take 3 Everyday
Now who's like their Father? You're always sleeping on the couch
And you're just like your Mother, With how no love gets given out
Stand up Straight
About Face
I don’t care about your feelings, I don’t care I made you
I don’t care I wasn’t there for you, in your trying times
Who was ever there for me, who heard my screams
Now I live this goddamned life, with these broken dreams.
The Truth hurts!
Don’t tell me how to live or to change my ways
Don’t tell me to respect, the things you do for me
And all you want me to respect, the things you do for me
When all you do is lie, cheat and deceive!
It’s not what you feel, it’s what you must do
This misjudgement happens everyday
And this shouldn’t be true, if you would open your mind
Instead of just your mouth, and find out what the truth
Truth be known: I care about my outcome
And Honestly, I care about yours too
So I don't want to sit and watch you give up
When there are greater things he's calling you to do
And I know it may be hard
To start anew, when all these things
Have knocked you from the start
You may not want his help
But these words he wrote, which gives up hope
To you, I'll always tell
To tell the truth: I understand your problems
I was trapped in that cave in just like you
Some people tried to tell me there's no way out
And I believed them until I heard the truth
And I know it may take long
To get to where you're going
Down this long and narrow road
You may get lost at times
But if you keep his word deep in your heart
The light will always shine
I love you
And I don't want to see you live this way anymore
He loves you
And doesn't want to see you live this way anymore
God loves you
They said if it feels good,
it must be bad.
But they also said that rock and roll was
just a fad.
Anyways!
Who cares!?
What's good or bad?
I know just want I want,
and what I shall have.
They said you best be good little girls and boys
or Santa Claus won't bring you no toys.
But you know you always got something,
no matter how you been.
The moral of the story is,
live in sin!
YEAH!
Do unto other as you'd have them do unto you.
I guess that means I should give head to you.
and while we're on the subject of philosophy.
I want to live my life on LSD.
YEAH!
They said if it feels good,
it must be bad.
but they also said that rock and roll was just a fad.
Anyways!
Who cares?
What's good or bad?
I know just what I want,
and what I shall have.
[Mysonne]
Yeah I want the sarcasm, with the anger
All that shit mixed in
OK let's do this
The FUCK y'all niggaz want? (I want the truth!)
Y'all niggaz want problems? (I want the truth!)
The FUCK y'all niggaz want? (I want the truth!)
You niggaz want problems? (You can't handle the truth!)
The FUCK y'all niggaz want? (I want the truth!)
Y'all niggaz want problems? (I want the truth!)
(You want answers?) (I want the truth!)
(You can't handle the truth!)
[Mysonne]
Yo, aiyyo y'all niggaz see the stripes, and ignore my rank
We gon' do this like pirates now, walk the plank
I don't know what niggaz think, there's none above me
Problem Child General, nigga thugs love me
You want me to prove it's real, use this steel
catch a body, and move to Brazil?
But then how you gon' breathe, when your lungs ain't there?
Comin in your buildin, and my sons is there
with they hands by they waist cause they guns is there
Now y'all see how this shit turn from fun to fear
But y'all don't play fair, so why should I?
Get you hit by the same nigga that got you high
Put two up in your side, and watch you cry
And I know you can't survive but I'ma watch you try
Say goodbye, y'all niggaz ain't bulletproof
You want what? Y'all niggaz can't handle the truth, yo
[Chorus x2: Mysonne]
The truth is - it's too late for a truce
The truth is - y'all niggaz ain't bulletproof
The truth is - Mysonne is the truth and
(You can't handle the truth!)
[Mysonne]
Aiyyo the truth is, I'm young pretty and ruthless
And I peel quick and steal shit, cause I'm lootless
So don't confuse realness, with music
Yeah you got a gun but you scared to death to use it
Your hand shakin, you can't take the kickback
So whoever gun you borrow nigga give it back
Cause you lack the heart it takes for gunplay
You ain't ready to have shootouts in the broad day
My niggaz bustin while they drivin down the one-way
Y'all niggaz better pack y'all bags and run away
I mean this fam, I'm makin niggaz dissapear
It ain't a game, and I think I made that crystal clear
(I think so) Shit is official here, so you don't want to start this
Cause you too light, to get caught up, in the darkness
Stabbed up, left hemorraghing, on a park bench
You threaten mines? FUCK YOU, pardon my French
[Chorus]
[Mysonne]
Okay, you been forewarned, so y'all niggaz better recognize
Problem Children, don't forget the weapon ties
I specialize in warfare and rippin tracks
And if it's war, then we ALL in with different gats
or different bats, just keep spittin this and that
Just keep talkin, yo' ass gon' end up missin black
You not gon' listen til I'm yo' ear with the mac
or you in the air, your spirit just lookin back
I done it all, from pimpin hoes to cookin crack
Approachin crews dolo, like what y'all lookin at?
I earn respect, that's why I wonder why me?
Thorough to this, so why y'all still wanna try me?
That's alright, y'all niggaz know where to find me
Up in the Bronx somewhere, that's where I be
Prolly with my niggaz shootin lead off the roof
See I told ya, y'all can't handle the truth
[Chorus] (Mysonne bullshits over it)
Look into the cloudy sky
Count the shapes as they go by
The lies that hide behind these eyes have left their hiding
You can find me anywhere
Name a place and I’ll be there
The faint remainder of your smile still is shining
Rain will fall and wind will blow
Lakes will always overflow
Just like my heart but you don’t ever see what I see
There’s still a spark but it’s not bright
It used to make me glad despite
Your way of moving on before your victim’s ready
Your past loves all warned about
The things they had to live without
I didn’t know they meant you changed your mind that quickly
My friends all tend to disagree
When I said you were right for me
But they were right and I was wrong ‘cause you blinded me
Since I don’t like you anymore
There’s no reason I can’t ignore
You spending time with other girls more lucky than me
That’s what I call jealousy
Your ignorance and apathy
Just proves that we’re too young to understand what love means
I know next time this happens that I’ll take my dad’s advice
I promise that I’ll be more careful and that I’ll think twice
I know I’ll wait until I’m older to start thinking about love
But most of all I’ll stay away from guys like you because
I really worry for your future life
Your mind will end up putrefied
If you don’t stop your foolishness and listen to me
The truth is out and you are gone
I’m happy that I’m moving on
The truth is
I like the you hold me
The truth is
I like the things you told me
The truth is
I like the way you touch me
You are yummy, ami yami
The truth is
I like the way you kiss me
The truth is
I like the way you tease me
The truth is
I like the way you feel me
You are yummy, ami yami
You, I
I, you
All my girls (I love you)
I love you too
All my babes (I miss you)
I miss you too
Signorita you look so good
An hour with you was so good
It must be your lips and the sexy way you look
It must be your pretty eyes and the way you look
I love your pretty eyes and the way you kiss me ha ha
Pretty girls you can't blame me
You can't blame me for the things that I did
You can't blame me for kissing like this
You can't blame me for touching like that
You can't blame me for feeling like this
You ccan't blame me for loving like that
Oh Lurrenz dada I will never let you go
Ha ha I love it when you call me Dada
Chorus:
All yee out there (echo)
All yee in here (echo)
Never mind the way I treat my girls
I give them what they want cos I gat what they want
I give them flashy cars, flashy cribs, flashy life
There was Linda she was so hot
I gave her a house in VGC when she saw it she said oh my God!
Then come Cynthia she was so good
I gave her another in Abj
When she saw she said Oh my God!
Cherie and Marie two hot little twins
Rich parents and rich lifestyle
They really thought they've seen it all
See what I did when I got to New York
Bought them a house in seven figure zone
When they saw it they said Oh my God!
Yeah, that's how I treat them girls
Fine boy how can we win your heart?
Ha ha after the commercial break
Chorus:
Listen girls this is what it takes to win me
I want the way you laugh to make me ha ha
The way you walk to make me gaga
