I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find the truth
Because it ain't here, it's nowhere near
I gotta find it, I gotta find the truth
If I lose my mind, well I don't care
The truth is in plain contradiction (yeah)
The truth is not in this situation (yeah)
The truth is it's my only salvation (yeah)
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is not here
I tried to find it looking in the works of man
And if it's in there, well it's sure not clear
I thought I saw it somewhere in a starry sky
And if it's up there, well I'm stuck down here
The truth is like chasing a phantom (yeah)
The truth is so seemingly random (yeah)
The truth is not easily handled (yeah)
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is not here
The truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is stranger than fiction
I gotta find the truth
If I have to stand all day in the bright sunshine
I gotta find it, I'm gonna find the truth
If I have to dance all night, leave my body behind
Because the truth is never gonna look for me
I will never get to see what I have not earned
And the truth is, if that day should never come
That doesn't mean I was wrong to try to capture that
bird
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
How did I get here
Think I know what I did
Always worked real hard
Maybe I missed something
I'm not into pointing fingers
Showin who's right or wrong
I just wanna keep it real
Cause maybe I was doin fine on my own
Listen:
I had a career before now didn't I
I had lots of friends before now didn't I
And I had my fans before now didn't I
And I had my family before now didn't I
Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have out whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free
Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free
Conversations deep
When you talk to yourself
There's no wayt to cheat
Cause you know you can't be no one else
Won't trip out on disappointment
Cause failure is just not me
Still I gotta do my job
Cause you know my show can't go on without me
Listen:
I had a career before now didn't I
Sold out round the worl before now didn't I
I had a few hits before now didn't I
And danced until my feet were sore now didn't I
Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have out whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free
It's hard to believe
The love between us is over
It's sad to think we couldn't work it out
But how much is enough to pay for this mistake
Hope your love was sincere
Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free
Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free
Do you know the truth
Feel it
Live it
Do you know the truth
Trust it
Believe it
Do you know the truth
You want it
And need it
Do you know the truth
To find it
Embrace it
I've been burning
And dousing the flames
I feel the whiplash
Of the backlash on my face
I melt to sleep at night
But I wake to trip the day
Never for you never for me
Would I kiss your feet of clay
I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise
Am I the victim of youth
Is this the truthh
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me
There's no conscience
In charity or shame
The voice deceive me
But believe me its the same
I see the black in white
And the colour in the gray
Better for me better for you
Gonna bleach it all away
I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise
I see the scars, I hear the lies
So what's the truth
Verse1:
It's the blunts, it's the 40's got your mind so blurry
Like fog on a mirror when you step out the shower
Satan collecting souls seconds minutes and hours
It only take the chosen to realize god hold all power
Never can he devour satan surely can tempt
Sin got your life crazy know that you're not contempt
And he don't hold no one exempt
Little kids maturing quick can't even pay the rent
From heaven he sent his only begotten son
Confess all your sins see the battle already won
God got so much for you telling the truth this is aint
no lie
Satan cover the truth this is his strategy disquise
Oneday we will see truth when the lord come through the
skys
Wiping away tears from the righteous hurting eyes
Until this day come just deliver the truth
The truth is the bible that help you get through
Chorus:
I want... the truth
Nothing... but the truth
If you can't deliver this... then don't come through
I can't make my own rules... to cover what I do
I want... the truth
Nothing... but the truth
If you can't deliver this... then don't come through
I can't make my own rules... to cover what I do
Verse2:
Like a poisonous snake he awaits your next move
Coming in like a rake you the leaves he gotta move
You on a dark path this is what satan choose
Then you take your last breath and guess what "you
lose"
Avoid all these mistakes cause with god you don't
stress
Building you up to better like a dove builds it's nest
And realize who you are cause you making success
Always honor the father and you surely will be blessed
Chorus:
I want... the truth
Nothing... but the truth
If you can't deliver this... then don't come through
I can't make my own rules... to cover what I do
I want... the truth
Nothing... but the truth
If you can't deliver this... then don't come through
They called you a failure
They called you a lost cause
They said you would never become anything at all
The love 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 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 soft spoken answer
That won't wake your spirit
And when I look in your eyes I see the prize that's 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 in you
And I know you'll find the truth
That's not what they told you
When they said they gave up for you
And your nothing
And you'll never be anything
I wait for the day when you stand up and say
I can do all things
Through Him here who strenghtens me
[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 in you
Yes I believe in you
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
I saw some children dance
I watched my life in a trance
And the people around me
Seemed so glad to be here
Will my time pass so slowly
On the day that I fear?
And the noise that surrounds me
Pulls so loud in my head
From the promise that healed us
To the lies that I said
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
Some people look down on me,
I know they like what they see
Strange day,
Such a strange day
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I like the proof
Baby that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
Look like you are not afraid anymore
I say that I would rather die trying
Oh swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love in my lips
This time when I swung the bat
And I found myself laying flat
I wondered
What a way to spend a dime
What a way to use the time
Aint it baby?
Now I looked at our reflections
In the window walking past
And I saw a stranger
I think we're just so scared all the time
That's the main reason why
The world is so dangerous
Oh swing me waw down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love in my lips
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I like the proof
Baby that might be so
Tell what's wrong with having a little faith
In what you're feelin in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
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
Fuck the life...
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 and still I glance around
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
The truth is like a dancer with shattered limbs
What once stood proud and graceful is languishing
And the midday sun beats down from above like a giant fist
That evaporates the veracity from within our midst
CHORUS
Don't speak of truth in times like these
The concept's riddled with disease
Deny the sights your eyes have seen
This is the new reality
The truth is like a painting that time defaced
A monument to beauty left in disgrace
And the faded flower that our eyes yet devoured is in decline
What once was as pure as an infant's embrace has become maligned
(CHORUS)
The truth is like a lantern in heavy winds
What once shone like a beacon is growing dim
And the flickering flame dies out in the rain of perfect lies
Silver threads of smoke float upward into the sky
If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?
Though I'm closer to wrong, I'm no further from right
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah
No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie
But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised
And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give
Deprived of my conscience, this all belongs to me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
The deception you show is your own parasite
Just a word of advice you can heed if you like
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I hate you and you hate me,
What's your darkest fantasy?
Maybe you don't want the truth? (truth)
I tried, I tried, I tried,
But I can't live without you!
It's making me blue!
I tried, I tried, I tried,
I tried, I tried, tried!
I give my love to you!
Everything I have to give
I give it to you!
You! and ONLY YOU!
Take it, don't you fake it
'cause I'll break you! (break you, break you...)
Garden of Eden, take a bite.
Do me evil all damn night.
Sinful thoughts run trough your brain.
And I'll ask, you'll decide, drives you insane.
Maybe you don't want the truth? (truth)
I tried, I tried, I tried,
But I can't live without you!
It's making me blue!
I tried, I tried, I tried,
I tried, I tried, tried!
I give my love to you!
Everything I have to give
I give it to you!
You! and ONLY YOU!
Take it, don't you fake it
'cause I'll break you! (break you, break you...)
I hate you (I hate you)
And you hate me...(you hate me)
What's your darkest... fantasy?
Maybe you don't want the truth? (truth)
I tried, I tried, I tried,
But I can't live without you!
It's making me blue!
I tried, I tried, I tried,
I tried, I tried, tried!
I give my love to you!
Everything I have to give
I give it to you!
You! and ONLY YOU!
Take it, don't you fake it
'cause I'll break you! (break you, break you...)
Just tell me the truth.
Just tell me the truth.
Just tell me the truth. (the truth, the truth)
Just tell me the truth.
Just tell me the truth. (the truth, the truth)
Just tell me the truth.
Today I see you fading away
Today I see my life go by
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
Fade away
Fade away
Everyday everyday(2)
Today I saw it all in you
Today the truth became known
It just slips away
It just slips away
It just slips away
It just slips away
Fade away
Fade away
Everyday everyday(2)
From: In The Shadow Of The Angel, Black Radio, The Final Experience
& Thankyou Very Much Goodnight
I know how to strain a man's will to live
I know how to force death down you
I know what it takes to cross the line
I know what it costs to lose your mind again
'Cause life inside of me
Is filled with things you can't imagine
'Cause life inside of you
Is only there because of my will
I don't live for your sake
I live for truth
I will give last bits of hope
I will give a truth
You try to make your way through the days
You think you affect your own life
You're not what you think you are, you'll never be
You life is mine
(w. graber)
And everybody wants to know somehow (just don't ask me for the truth)
And change is change but that ain't wisdom
An endless track of endless tracks - pretend
And never leave this track once it begins
[chorus]
Explanations, expectations - I'll find some other way
No here's how to help hallucinations - it's just from day to day
And junior finds some strange salvation - I'd say he's wrong
'cause maybe when it's all done - this is just a song
If no one knows then how can they be wrong
Deplete it all it seems before to long
Insanity - a blink ten thousand years
Insanity - well there is nothing here
[chorus]
Today it seems some wounds will never mend
A simple thought but clouds of doubt again
What do you,
when the devil looks right in your eyes?
and you find out your entire life is a lie
inside capital hill those cowards were laughing
the towers were crashin they allowed it to happen
devoured the fragments and the media's sight
with some of the sickest shit I have ever seen in my life
orchestrated by masons all related
their royal seal and oil fields corporate hatred
but how could I be concerned with world war?
Gotta worry about dyin from stickin some girl raw
What you heard before aint as big as a lesson
As George and Jeb Bush rigged elections
press release worldwide west to east
followed by George junior?s acceptance speech
Im too stressed to sleep but believe Im alive
cause death just creeps so I sleep when I die
Im screamin out why as I reach for the sky
I danced with the devil God don?t even reply
burn weed till Im high with my chest weezin
left breathin, shadow of death creepin
my ex beefin layin threats to get even
me dreamin of Russian Roulette left leakin
but if I was left leakin I?d be acceptin judgement
so I made my choice I aint acceptin nothing
I don?t believe your truth, I?ve been lied to
So if your ready to fight, I?m right beside you
If you don?t believe, you don?t see what I do
Just open your eyes, the truth is inside you
I run into CBS with a beret and shootin
this way I can televise the revolution
no resolution when cops load up a glock clip
and shoot like (Luke Diablo?) holdin his wallet
luckily bolic was raised in street smarts
taught since birth to evade police narks
prayin to God fightin satan?s beast mark
hopin one day I could make the seas part
I cross the train tracks and hear an outcry
Like why is the ghetto always on the southside
Skeptics will understand the art of war
when they lock the streets and declare martial law
when a rain of microchips starts to pour
what the fuck do you think the national guard is for
it?s a bad dream when Big Brother maps genes
and inject technology in kids vaccines
its next to nothin but my blood pressures rushin
and damn right I?ll fight sleep cause deaths its cousin
but now maybe you?ll believe me and listen a bit
when you?re all in line to get a microchip in your wrist
we livin this shit, governments playin the role
they invented aids for population control
they?ve taken a hold and sold satan your soul
while people like you and me are breakin the mold
I don?t believe your truth, I?ve been lied to
So if your ready to fight, I?m right beside you
If you don?t believe, you don?t see what I do
Just open your eyes, the truth is inside you
Its not just my home its real in every place
like anthrax sent from a military base
ya?ll let me lay stakes who imitate the disciples
watchin the catholic church manipulate the bible
I never stood a chance and joined the scripture
freemason?s free basin poised in the mixture
my point is true with the boys in blue
got me lookin over my shoulder
tryin to enjoy the view
I got two words for Bloomberg and Giuliani
Fuck you George Bush and the Illuminati
I wanna go to the oval office and pop a few
and act out the cover of Revolutionary Volume 2
they watchin you for national past time
believe me I?ll be red flagged for the last line
pull down the lockdown for the hood forever
be a bigger gang than the bloods and the crips put together
marines still dying in Iraq it seems ill
Bush already contracted the Lobbyists for rebill
They?ll fund his campaign and be an infallous vermin
Tryin to build a pipeline owned by Halliburton
But God?s watchin us to keep the evidence clear
While Lucifer whispers orders in the president?s ear
Heaven is near but hell is even closer
I live it everyday watchin demons approach us
I don?t believe your truth, I?ve been lied to
So if your ready to fight, I?m right beside you
If you don?t believe, you don?t see what I do
I don't wanna find out the truth
I don't wanna find out the truth
But only truth satisfy
I want it so much to go away
I want it so much to go away
But with the truth it will stay
And you will fall heavy upon my chest
But laughing will give the time to rest
I still can breathe when you are asleep
Just let me gasp for peace
I'd like to have other things on my mind
Like to have other things on my mind
I can't choose a line
I wanna wake up and find you
I wanna wake up and find you
If it's true, I won't continue to
You will fall heavy upon my chest
But laughing will give the time to rest
I still can breathe when you are asleep
Just let me gasp for little peace
I still can look like we get along
Truth will stay too long
I don't know how to get armed
I don't know how to get armed
I have to come to terms
with the true definition of I
I have to re-evaluate
myself with myself
my own proof of worth
for nobody else
If the Truth be known
I'll always be alone
to think I thought
I knew myself
Truth-let the truth be know
The pain of being my worst enemy
can no longer be endured
the pollution must end
Time to be my best friend
Time to be reborn
in a value of my own
If the Truth be known
I'll always be alone
Truth-let the truth be known
I have to come to terms
with the true definition of I
I have to re-evaluate
myself with myself
my own proof of worth
for nobody else
If the Truth be known
I'll always be alone
to think I thought
I knew myself
Truth-let the truth be know
The pain of being my worst enemy
can no longer be endured
the pollution must end
Time to be my best friend
Time to be reborn
in a value of my own
If the Truth be known
I'll always be alone
Truth-let the truth be known
Truth
Well my woman, she showed up
With your number on her hand
Well I thought that I might call you up
So we could deal with this man to man
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
Well he showed up down at the ballroom
Walking slow and acting strong
Well I said my friend I'll give you one last chance
To admit that you done me wrong
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
Now they got me here in the county
With his blood still on my face
Well the boys in blue they don't play no game
All the sheriff said to me was this...
You better tell me the truth, son
I'ma beat it out of you
You better tell me the truth, son
I'ma beat it out of you
Now they got me here in the lockdown
For a crime I did commit
Well for my last call
I called the number on my girl's hand
To remind you not to forget
You should'a told me the truth, son
Make me beat it out of you
You should'a told me the truth, son
Make me beat it out of you
You should'a tole me the truth, son
Oh...
Make me beat it outta you
Make me beat it outta you
Make me beat it
Make me beat it
Make me beat it
It was the truth
That fell from these lips
It blinded us
And then the darkness left
I am yours now
Respectfully
I am yours now
Truthfully
It burnt the stain
Left on my mind
Our hearts they beat
A quarter tone apart
I am yours now
Respectfully
Why can't I do it?
You complete me
Our kind is hard, hard to find, to find
And if it will be
It will be with you
I am yours now
Respectfully
I am yours now
Went down to Memphis on a blue night train
Made Oklahoma in the driving rain
Midnight hour, Tulsa county line
J. J. Cale music in my mind
Ooo ooo weee
Come on listen to me
The truth will set you free
You stand there waiting in the red dirt night
Just round the corner and a little to the right
I say, baby, won’t you take me home
You say my type is always quick to roam
Wooo ooo weee
Come on listen to me
The truth will set you free
Spin the bottle, baby, lick your lips
Spin the bottle, baby, move your hips
Please excuse me while I help myself
It’s up to me cause there ain’t no one else
Oooo ooo weee
Come on listen to me
Tell em all I'm on vacation,
Say I went to visit friends,
That you ain't heard or seen 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 that I'm probably doing fine,
(Chorus)
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,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,
Tell em all I'm out in Vegas,
Blowin' every dollar I ever made,
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 and roll band,
Living like a gypsy king,
(Chorus)
The truth is that I'm asking you to lie,
And we both know that it ain't right,
But if you ever loved me please,
Have some mercy on me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tell em anything you want to,
Just don't tell em all the truth,
Yeah don't tell em all the truth,
I still need you,
Yeah that's the truth,
I still love you,
Yeah yeah yeah...
Dooooh
Babe would you please be mine
(My)
Subject.....
My Subject... [repeated] yeah
Doodoodoodoumdoumdoum
Doodoodoodoumdoumdoum
[music]
Do ooooh
Ooooh..... [repeated]
Oh babe I -I II
I lied
I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
[pause]
You knew
And I knew
But you didn't want to hear
What I didn't want to tell you
Now we've got hard times....
And now there's no love at home
When separate we build so alone
But we can't stand to be together
To talk about it
Had time
To inc
Thoughts instead
Of bodies
This can't be love
[pause]
What if we
Produced a shorty
Hard times would still be visual
Within this love
Within our love
This can't be love
And that's the bare-naked
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
I said you were the truth
You took it as the tru-u-uth
We can't stand to be together
To talk about it
But we can't stand to be
Apart long enough to hear this thing baby
You and I started off good
Findin' time to spend time
I said what you wanted to hear
Now you need to go
I lied
I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
And you need to
Take that as the truth
If our words were truly fact
We probably still wouldn't have love
But we would love what we had
But we don't
Reality is we like
Now you and I must say goodbye
Can't you see the
Bare-naked start to speak
I'm a young man
World is mine
I shoulda' been
Straight with you from the beginning
You probably wasn't even lookin' for a man
[pause]
This time has been
No doubt interesting
But now that we broke up
I'm thinking this mighta' been love
This coulda been love
Damn what the...
I'ts just my luck
[finger snappin']
What if I led 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 is a part in every day
When 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 is a part in every day
When 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 is a part in every day
When I lie to myself
And say that it' okay
'Cause if I don't, I think I'll go insane
But the truth is, I only have myself to blame
There is a part in every day
When I lie to myself
And say that it's okay
[Billy Cook:]
Too many brothers locked, there'll be too many dying
And if I set it up out, then I'd be lying
[Hook: x2]
You want the truth (yeah), bujt you can't handle the truth (no)
Us niggaz ain't free, we just running round loose (right)
They say what monkey see, monkey gon do (oh-no-no-no-no-no-no-oh)
This song pertains to every thug nigga, even you
[Lil' O:]
My lil' partna stole a half, from a crooked ass law
He chopped it up and heat it in, it's time he Hilfiger drawas
See hit the cut before you run, young G's gotta crawl
And he was hitting every lick, even soaked his ma
And when he stacked a lil' change, he went straight to the mall
And bought some POLO and some Guess, to let hoes know that he ball
But I recall a time when blacks, couldn't buy shit at all
And when you mention slavery, no one sounded upauled
They said ay free the slaves, see loves blacks don't believe it
Slavery came to an end, cause slavery wasn't needed
New technology, provided quantities at high volume
Cheaper than maintaining slaves, now we got us a problem
Cause now we can make these goods, and astonishing figures
Without the labor tell me, what we gon do with these niggaz
Should we gun em down with triggas, send em back to they land
Or should we keep em all in chains, till we get us a plan
Well here's a plan let's give em jobs, better jobs than we
No just enough, so they can get the minimal wants and needs
They'll still be in poverty, but with they hard earned bucks
They'll make us rich by buying shit, that was made by us you see
[Hook x2]
[Lil' O:]
Now if you worked all your life, but still ain't had shit
If you seen a man slipping, would you grab his shit
I'm talking gun a man down, straight robbing and stealing
Or commit genocide, for pride we straight drug dealing
And I know you know the feeling, (man I ain't got shit
Man these whites living good, I got's to have that shit)
Even though we can't afford it, man we still gotta get it
Black people love to floss, I swear to God it's embedded
Now you can curse all you want, you can scream and shout
But only a nigga'll buy him a Benz, before he buy him a house
And when the new Jordans come out, we spend our money like fools
When these whites won't pay, more than eighty dollars for shoes
We got the whole game confused, we being played like fools
But playa who am I to lie, I do the same shit too
Cause I done jacked me some niggaz, I done been on the grind
But playa peep how smart they is, they getting paid off our crime
It's big business in the 90's, sending niggaz to jail
You can buy stock in the Penn, think they ain't making mail
[talking:]
See, as long as niggaz keep dropping out of school
To chase this fast change
We doing exactly, what they want us to do
[Hook x2]
[Lil' O:]
As slavery passed whites asked, are we really that dense
A man convinced that we are, pressing blacks is a sense
Yeah a man ain't really lynched, had a plan for us brothers
He said you keep them blacks divided, and they'll keep down eachother
Put field nigga against house nigga, put dark skin against light
They won't worry bout us whites, all they'll do is just fight
And the sad thing he's right, look how us young niggaz trip
Look how we split eachother's wig, over Blood and Crip
Look how we quick to start tripping, damn you stepped on my shoes
Then we mean mug eachother, what you looking at fool
Why is it cool to be a killer, fraud to be about peace
Why we can't understand, too many of us deceased
Do we hate ourselves, some think the mo' yellow the better
Then compare the way we act, to Mr. Will and inch letter
Yeah it's all a big set up, look in books you'll find proof
But they won't teach you this in school, cause you can't handle the truth you see
[Hook x2]
[talking:]
Man, I'm missing that Lil' Norris
That Lil' Gator, that Fat Pat, that Mafio
That Lil' Al, that Marcus Grey
All my partnas on lock, Big Spider, Big Mark
You know I love y'all, Black Ass hold ya head
Kinfolk, I love you baby
Sean Blaze, hold ya head
Wool, you know it's on when you get home baby
Lawson I love you baby, all my partnas on lock
All my partnas in the grave, I love y'all
We gon make it through the storm
Cause that's what playas do
Maintain under pressure, you feel me
[Billy Cook:]
Too many brothers locked, there'll be too many dying
(Hook)
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
(Verse 1)
Ayo, I've seen it all
From what the truth should be, to what the truth is
As we evolve form what we used to be onto some new shit
We write the blueprint, with true grit
Students of moving bricks and full clips
Or otherwise we just threw fists
Been breaking bad, ever since before I became a dad
Or made in in rap
And truth - I still cater to that
Root for the villain getting paid in full
Spraying the gat on the roof of my building
Getting brain, taking it back
I was a projects professor
A white kid not just five-percent of lessons
I got from the brothers selling incense
Extensively, studying Rakim and all the emcees
Eventually discovered I spit rather intensely
Now here I am, speaking to everybody that be listening
The hardcore hiphop with heart, like nitroglycerin
The type of rap you feel in your cardiac
The grimey, illmatical boom bap, mathematical goon rap
(Hook)
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
(Verse 2)
Ayo, I rise and laugh at the lies, analyzing the science of things
In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king
The path of the divine crashing to gunfire and brimstone
Adapt and survive, spilled blood dries when the wind blows
Look to the past, see the future staring back at you
Holdin' a gat, holdin' you back
And bearing ample fruit and opportunity
Get rid of fuckin feelings with unity
We stand tall,
What the fuck could you do with the assault literary
Slaughter cult military
Necronomicon Don
The cold visionary
Conspiracy hoes, behold secret mystery scrolls
Seen black, satanic lesbian, titties explode
Fuck livin' on your knees, I rather die on my feet
Rise in the street, fist fights with riot police
These lines are wrote potent like lines of coke
A kaleidoscope of the violent poem
That’s just me on the beat by Pete Rock 'n roll
(Hook)
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
(Verse 3)
The excellence and inspiration of truth, it's the pursuit
It's like an exercise of the mind,
Like a nine when it shoots
Testify with lies right beside a mountain of proof
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, many have died for the fruit
Organic and natural, harvested from off the vine
And verified undisputed factual and actual
The only sure thing in life is death shooters and bricks?
Coca pure, sniff white respect Lucifer's gift
Death is only the beginning, heads exploding and spinning
Like The Exorcist, possessing
Unholy and grinning
Tell 'em Welcome to hell, enter the ceremonial bringing
Where I'm from sharks fly and the vultures are swimming
The truth is gang raped while the world watches in horror
I could possibly tape a flick cares to watch it tomorrow hah
Shoot it like Columbine
Edit it and upload to YouTube it all live
For devilicks and cut throats
(Hook)
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
Check one-two, one-two
(John 4:16, 1 John 2:4-6)
They burn your ears with what they say
And they pretend to care with their display
The lies they feed you soothe your mind
Deceiving you from what you'll find
CHORUS
Open your eyes can't you see it
Separates the soul, body and spirit
Forgives, forgets and sets you free
It's calling you to enternity, it's Truth
They say we judge as they judge in song
And they don't claim to know, but know we're wrong
The lies they whisper find their mark
And slowly pierce right through your heart
CHORUS
Open your eyes can't you see it
Seperates the soul, body and spirit
Forgives, forgets and sets you free
It's calling you to eternity, it's Truth
SOLO
REPEAT CHORUS
Can't Believe how you set me free
The way you purify this soul don't you know
Got you into my arms now I'm never letting go
This old dog is finally home...finally home...So!
Chorus:
Ohh, Tell me what you want
I'll pay the price
What's money I'll roll the dice
Lose it all take the fall
Let it ride
As long as i have you at my side
(repeat 2X)
Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn't sure how deep a hole i was getting into
Yet I choose to wake up every mornin with a smile of my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race...GO!
(repeat chorus)
*Chorus:
I've played the fool
Thinking i can catch you off guard and score another night with you
But the tables have been turned
This boy's about to get burned
But before i go, i gotta know - i gotta know
Let's not forget
You kept me waiting
What can i do to get through to you
Tired of singin to myself
I need a lesson
I need a blessing
The Shoe fits all we need is a little glue
I hate what you do
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want
Ohh, Tell me what you want...fuck you...
(repeat chorus)
Ohh... It's been so good since i last saw you... ohh... child...

Yea, Baby Blue whoa
Back in '96
the old boy was fresh out the pit
the old girl was pulling credit card scam licks
her girlfriend Khaji bout me a Tupac tape
taught me how to rap
listening to NWA
moved with my daddy when i got to middle school
wasn't used to the new house rules
so we bumped heads but we end up cool
taught me how to hustle fresh
grand shark pool
never played outside when i was coming up
always worried about the robbers trying to throw me in the truck
so i had to hit girls after school under the stairwell walking home with that stright pudoocy smell
sometime i made it some days in the park
used to sex a lot in the parking lot
Walmart even Kmart
used to hit that girl in every parking lot
now it's year 2000
i'm about 16
only thing on my mind is getting green
on to the first time your boy hit the by hard
nobody move

meanwhile i'm king of Darrel City High
breaking all the rules watching time go by

never stood in one lunch line

Spectacular
Yo Step into my room witcha birthday suit
imma eat it all up like a bowl of fruit (uh)
i love the way you makin them sounds
while you grabbin on my braids while im lovin you down
im rubbin your thyes you rubbbin my stomach
sex 3 minutes an you already cumin
give it 2 you one time betcha want more
by the end of the night ill be on round four
now you walkin out the door like spec i want more
say you want sex till that thang turn sore
i can get it wet without rain
Tonight I'm out in the city down on Liquor Street
I see the woman I trust in the arms of the enemy
I want some answers and I want them now
It all goes down on Liquor Street where my patience is put to trial
I got myself, I got myself to wait
Myself, I see me set it slow
I put myself, I put myself to shame
The only way I know
I see I fucked up in the system, calling up all night
In a bad situation, coming up from the restaurant
I should have known everything was gonna be all right
The truth is bitter on my tongue
It's trapped inside my lungs
It's running through my vains like poison
And I know you feel the same
But someone's in the way
So now i'll never get to say....
You're the only one that breaks my soul and you take a little piece
wherever you go
Every time you leave my heart goes cold
Cause you're the one I love and you won't ever know
The truth is screaming in my eyes
Like a neon sign
Caught beneath the waves of lies
That I tell you every day
It's easier that way
So now i'll never get to say....
You're the only one that breaks my soul and you take a little piece
wherever you go
Every time you leave my heart goes cold
Cause you're the one I love and you won't ever know.
I can't tell you there's no one else, can't tell you how I fell
Gotta keep it to my self for now. (repeat)
Is it reality when I say there is no future
Left for the young? Oblivion has just begun,
Can this be real? You've left wounds that cannot heal
Problems to solve with with no way to resolve
The truth of life to come cannot be concealed
A wicked world takes hold, the end begins
The civilization corrodes, drowning in sin
Blinded by the cause, can't see tomorrows flaws
This way of life just does not seem right
A captive in my mind, someday we will find
That not all is truth of life, they will steal the youth
The truth of life to come cannot be concealed
A wicked world takes hold, the end begins
The civilization corrodes, drowning in sin
No I will not follow
The truth has changed me
The well of life is running dry
No lies
Not far away we will find
Ambivalence tearing our minds
I see right through their liesDespised
We play the fools, the retarded make the rules
Can this be truth? We slip into their noose
The poison they feed is something many need
To carry on as thid new day dawns
The truth of life to come, it must be revealed
A wicked world takes hold, the end begins
If I gave you the truth, would it keep you alive?
Though I'm closer to wrong, I'm no further from right
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside, you're so much more than me, yeah
No there's nothing you say that can salvage the lie
But I'm trying to keep my intentions disguised
And now I'm deprived of my conscience and something's got to give
Deprived of my conscience, this all belongs to me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
The deception you show is your own parasite
Just a word of advice you can heed if you like
And now I'm convinced on the inside that something's wrong with me
Convinced on the inside you're so much more than me, yeah
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down again, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm weaker now my friend, I belong to them
Beaten down again, I've failed you
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
I'm beaten down
Remember who we are, supple and new
If I lose my way you'd tell me the truth for all it's worth
Lifting up your hand, show me my rescue
What I said, truth is worth more than pride
Truth is worth more than pride
Everything you do continues long after you've gone
Circle overhead, view from the bed, so high and lonely
Sixteen times a day, he comes to ground
To get some attention
'Cause what I said, truth is worth more than pride
Truth, it cannot be denied
Truth is worth more than pride
They have showered me with riches
And they say that I am worthy of their love
And their attention but they still don't know the truth
Everything you do continues long after you've gone
What I said, truth is worth more than pride
Truth cannot be denied
Truth is worth more than pride
View from the bed, so high and lonely
So high and lonely
Truth is worth more than pride, hey hey
View from the bed, so high and lonely
So high and lonely
Little boy, little boy
White noise, new toys
Fucking off, coming on
Up-town, call it off
In and out, big shout
Day and night, layabout
Push it up, take it down
Put yourself around town
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm going to the place that we both knew once
To the place that you don't know now
It's way back when you were someone else
You've changed and I don't know how
I won't say please and I'm not on my knees
If I was that would be uncool
If there's anybody else I know what you would tell me
'Cause you told me that you'd tell me the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You tell me that you tell me the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Because you tell me that you tell me truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Because you tell me that you tell me truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Little boy, little boy
White noise, new toys
Fucking off, coming on
Up-town, call it off
In and out, big shout
Day and night, layabout
Push it up, take it down
Put yourself around town
I'm going to the place that we both knew once
And I know that I'm going alone
When I'm there, if I can I'll look for your heart
If I find it, I'll send it back home
You're a fool, you're a fool
You don't know what you done
Believe me, we could have been great
You think you're a man, you're not, you're a boy
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when you grow up it'll be too late
Blood and dust have changed
All the colors in my mind
Black has made me see
But the truth has made me blind
To the fears
To the lies
They were here
All the time
In your sympathetic Sunday nights
I don't belong
'Til all the hate that lines the face
Of my enemy is gone
All the fears
All the lies
They were here
All the time
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
The smoke has cleared but I can't breathe
The new day's a prison
For the souls who've lost hope
But I've been taught change
Comes to the one's who need it most
All the fears
All the lies
They were here
All the time
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
The smoke has cleared but I can't breathe
The mouth of New York City talks
Spitting dust from streets to sidewalks
Pictures soaked in gasoline
Twisting through the steel and concrete
Twisting through the steel and concrete
Twisting through the steel and concrete

Where can I find the truth?
Too many things
Come over me...
Time races fast, you're riding so high
You feel like you never come down
But someday, baby, you have to face reality
And come down
You can't live on the clouds
[Keyboard solo]
You know, I... I really hate to come down on you to
this,
Baby, but uh... you ain't cool.
You're just a not cool and you haven't been cool for a
long time now.
There comes a time in everyone's life
When they have to evaluate who they are and what they
are,
And find out for themselves what's really meaning of
life to them.
That is, of course, if you can deal with truth and it's
not easy.
Sometimes it's a real hard thing to deal with truth.
Because maybe we won't like what we hear or might
discover
About ourselves, but in the final analysis, baby
You'll be such a better man for it, such a better man.
If I didn't care, I let you go on ana make a fool out
of yourself.
But I do care and because I care. I can't stand around
If I'm your woman and watch you do this to yourself.
You know what I mean? Think about it... think about it.
Move it forward, spread the word, we're setting up the stage,
The rich get rich, the rest get desperate, trying to play the game.
All these people, all this greed consumed by apathy
and I'm so small all I do is sit Around
and I'm guilty too, but America
I can't ignore anymore the stories that I hear.
we're so diverse we have to chase our immigrants away.
well people give what they recieve and all they feel is pain
we love our guns until they're turned round,
well who've we got to blame?
And I'm so small all I do is sit around
And I'm guilty too but America
I can't ignore, anymore, the stories that I hear
not when genocide is named civil war to keep us in the clear
we say we're pure, insist we're good and what do we reward?
Beauty, Dollars, Power is our soul,
well tell me, tell me whats power ever done,
if anything in this world breeds kindness, tell me its not love
cause it doesn't have to be this way, its up to us where we go or stay,
there are places where mountains refresh the soul and rain pours truth into us all
Ubuntu, Brotherhood, Humanity
Where people live so simple and content
and the women may not be slender but they're strong, beautiful and tender.
They don't lose their identities, their lives filled up by humanity
now tell me, this is not the way to be
tell me this is not the way to be
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
I saw some children dance
I watched my life in a trance
And the people around me
Seemed so glad to be here
Will my time pass so slowly
On the day that I fear?
And the noise that surrounds me
Pulls so loud in my head
from the promise that healed us
To the lies that I said
Oh, it's a strange day
In such a lonely way
Some people look down on me,
I know they like what they see
Strange day,
Such a strange day
Taylor:
From the time we're very young,
We're told the truth is something precious
Something noble, something regal
It will lift us like the wind
And give us wings like the eagle
All:
But that's the furthest thing from the truth
Taylor:
From the time we're very young
We're taught the truth is like a beacon
Something holy, like a spirit
It will free is from our fears
The closer we get near it
All:
But that's the furthest thing from the truth
Brooklyn:
Did your heart belong to someone
Other than my mother?
Don't I have a right to know
Have I a sister or a brother
All:
Don't I have a right to know?
Don't I have a right to know?
Brooklyn:
Huh?!?!?
Taylor:
Oh, the truth is but a flame
That engulfs the butterfly
It destroys all things of beauty
Keep your illusions and your lies
All:
Walk out that door
From the time we're very young
From the time we're very young
From the time we're very, very,
Very, very, very, very, very,
Very, Very, very, young…
Brooklyn:
From the time that I was young
I thought the truth was like a mirror
I wanna face it, I wanna feel it
I wanna find out who I am
But like a coward you conceal it
All:
But that's the furthest thing from the truth
Taylor(spoken):
Look, I don't know you; you don't know me. You know nothing of me!
Brooklyn(spoken):
Well, I know this…
(sung)You left a woman and a child
Have you no sense of shame?
Were you so young and selfish
It's my mother that you blamed
What courage does it take
To look me in the eye?
You can't bury truth in silence
Like a tree it's gonna rise
All:
Like a tree it's gonna rise
Like a tree it's gonna rise
Like a tree it's gonna rise
Like a tree it's gonna rise
Taylor:
The truth is but a wind
That robs the autumn from the trees
It leaves things empty like this needle
No, the truth won't set you free
All:
So walk out that door
From the time we're very young
From the time we're very young
From the time we're very, very,
Very, very, very, very, very,
Very, Very, very, young…
Brooklyn and Taylor:
From the time we're very young
All:
We're taught the truth is all that matters
Brooklyn:
It gives you strength
It makes you wise
Taylor:
But in truth it only shatters
So don't look into my eyes
Don't you look into my eyes
Somebody asked me
What it really mean to be true
Somebody tell me
Tell me what it mean to you
You can’t find it in a TV screen
You can’t read it in a book no
You won’t see it in the future
No matter how hard you look ya’ll
You know truth ain’t hard to find
You know sitting deep inside
And that truth can be in disguise
You don’t have to go far
Truth is right where you are
Somebody asked me
What it really mean to be true
Somebody tell me
Tell me what it mean to you
You’re trying to find it in the government ya’ll
And look for it in the courthouse too
You try to speak it in the cell phone ya’ll
Waiting to hear it on the radio news
You can’t find it in a whisper
You can’t find it in a shout no
You can’t find it in a schoolyard
They sing about it in the church house
I said truth
Getting hard to find
You know truth
Somewhere deep inside
You know truth
It’ll change your mind
And truth
It may be in disguise
You don’t have to go far
Truth is right where you are
Got to got to got to got to got to got to got to
Gotta have a little truth now
Little truth now
How bout a little bit of
How bout a little bit of
Just a little bit of truth now
Somebody somebody somebody tell me
(truth
can’t hide it
truth
Kill your hate
Gotta reborn
Feed your faith
No more pain, no more
Let your soul
Fly away
Let it flow
In your veins
Cause the truth is in our hearts
Forget your flesh
Got to save your soul
You will find the truth
Inside you!
She tried to make her voice heard.
She tried and tried, couldn't say a word.
With a needle in her hand, anyone didn't understand.
She let herself drift away.
She found her way out of this...
She found her way out of this misery.
Truth hurts, cuts like a knife.
We should give up and leave this life.
Truth burns deep in my veins.
We should give up, no one gains.
I tried to make my voice heard.
I tried and tried, couldn't say a word.
With a needle in her hand, anyone didn't understand.
She let herself drift away.
She found her way out of this misery.
Truth hurts, cuts like a knife.
We should give up and leave this life.
Truth burns deep in my veins.
We should give up, no one gains.
Truth hurts, cuts like a knife.
We should give up and leave this life.
Truth burns deep in my veins.
We should give up, no one gains.
Truth hurts.
Truth hurts.
We search for truth all life long
Day after day the same old song
We search for truth In brand new places
Reality stares In our faces
Chorus:
I've found the truth for me
I live in my reality
Even if it don't suit you
I've found my truth
We find the truth but turn to lies
To suit our greed and our pride
I know the truth it's in my heart
It's been evident from the start
Chorus:
I've found the truth for me
I live in my reality
Even if it don't suit you
I've found my truth
Research done
Line up your experiments
How can you dispute
My own experience
Truth is just what we believe
Even heavens above and hells beneath
Truth is just what we believe
I close my eyes and realize
Everything is set and done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
The mortal coil has all but gone
Yet see what we have become
I had a vision that once broke me apart
Yes, I was hoisted with my own petard
Finally we forged ahead
No more important, we are alive or dead
There is a path besides the chosen
There is a truth behind the known
Close your eyes
In that mood I found a way
To build up a world out of a piece of clay
I have seen the unseen
I got beyond of what I had been
There is a path besides the chosen
The truth is that I never shook my shadow
Every day, it's trying to trick me into doing battle
Calling out 'faker', only get me rattled
Wanna pull me back behind the fence with the cattle
Building your lenses, digging your trenches
Put me on the front line, leave me with a dumb mind
With no defenses but your defense is
If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless
Since this, I've grown up some different kind of fighter
And when the darkness comes, let it inside you
And your darkness is shining, my darkness is shining
Have faith in myself
Truth
I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you're choosing before you go dying?
I'll tell you about a secret I've been undermining
Every little lie in this world comes from dividing
Say you're my lover, say you're my own, homie
Tilt my chin back, slit my throat
Take a bath in my blood, get to know me
All out of my secrets, all my enemies are turning into my teachers
Because light's blinding, no way dividing
What's yours or mine when everything's shining?
You darkness is shining, my darkness is shining
Have faith in ourselves
Truth
Yes, I'm only loving, only trying to only love
And, yes, and what I'm trying to do is only loving
Yes, I'm only loving, trying to only love
I swear to God, I'm only trying to be loving
Yes, I'm only lonely loving
Yes, I'm only feeling only loving, only loving
You say it ain't loving, ain't loving
Ain't loving, my loving
But I'm only loving, still only loving
Swear to god, I'm only loving
Trying to be loving, loving
Loving, loving, loving, loving
Yes I'm only loving, yes, trying to only love
I swear to god, I'm trying but I'm only loving
You say it ain't loving, ain't loving, ain't loving
Ain't loving, ain't loving my loving
But I'm only loving, loving, loving, loving the truth
I'll fill your ears with noises,
the things you want to know
I turn your head with wondrous tales,
and make the world your show
I'll grab you from the inside,
and turn you right for me
When I have finished citizen you'll serve me happily
I'll give you truth for all occasions
I'll give you truth to keep you calm
Give you truth to hold the shadows back,
and truth to save you harm
I'll bow down to your wishes
But there must be a price
I'll make a whole new world for you,
and I'll have you in my vice
They say that a little poison can cure a greater ill
Well take a bite of this my friend, a bitter bitter
pill
I'll give you truth for all occasions
Give you truth to keep you calm
Give you truth to hold the shadows back,
and truth to save you harm
I'll give you truth when times are hurting
Give you truth but not for free
Truth to calm the rage within
You will just be with me
Be with me
I'll give you truth for all occasions
I'll give you truth just to keep you so calm
Give you truth to hold the shadows back,
and truth to save you harm
Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye
The truth
I'll give you truth yeeees I'll give you truth
Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye
Put your trust in me and I wont let you down
Put your trust in me and I wont let you down
You only want what you can't have
You can't have another piece of my soul
Another part of me
You take exactly what you want
Even when it's not mine to give you
And it's not yours to take away
You're stimulated
You're aggravated
I feel so obligated
But I'm not gonna let you make me run
[Chorus:]
This time I'm gonna stay right
This time I'm gonna stand right here in the truth
In the truth
The beautiful troublesome truth
Honesty, bittersweet honesty
No more patterns to repeat
No more chaos to delete
No more people to protect
Above the ground without a net
You gotta trust yourself first
And then overcome the worst
Find some integrity
Some integrity
You're stimulated
You're aggravated
I feel so obligated
But I'm not gonna let you make me run
[Chorus:]
This time I'm gonna stay right
This time I'm gonna stand right here in the truth
In the truth
The beautiful troublesome truth
Honesty, bittersweet honesty
In the truth
In the truth
The beautiful troublesome truth
But at least it's the truth
she always said it was difficult to be jealous
of something that wasn't really there
I thought I knew love
but I was simply trying to convince myself of it
trying to justify and prove myself
finding your own love of yourself
and sharing it with another love,
your truth sears through me like a giddy rush
but like a too sharp knife as well It's hurting me
It's not so scary, it is liberating, it is truth
I see your truth and you see mine,
we shock ourselves with the imagery
only cause I hold up the mirror
and I show you me and you show me yourself
CHORUS
I think It's called truth,
I know that It's right
in all It's splendid beauty and vivid gain
I think It's called truth,
I think it deserves to bring beautiful glory with necessary pain
you do not make me feel complete
just part of another whole that halved
is another wonderful self
joined in a beautiful mystery journey
a snake finding legs
and a horse learning to sit a while
making mistakes along the way
and hurting another is par for the course,
if you are following your own,
which ofcourse you need to do
as broken wings are mended
and we watch us fly
I see your truth and you see mine,
we shock ourselves with the imagery
only cause I hold up the mirror
and you show me and I show you myself
Chorus:
Truth gonna set you free If you don't stand for something you'll fall for
anything Truth gonna set you free It could set you free if you believe
I know that you know it's time to walk in the light You been blind for too long
Let truth give you back your sight Tell the devil, let him know that he's a lie
Don't let him stop you Tell him he gets no free
ride
Chorus
Don't ya wanna be,
don't ya wonna be free Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
RAP: Who, what, me Truth gonna set, gonna set your soul free You can take it
from Damita and you can take it from me God sets
you free, yo, free indeed And I'm deep like a frek 'cause I believe In the Way,
the Truth to the Life he's given the soul's the reflection of the way you're
living Freedom ringin' Truth id the path T Mac is back and I'm free at last
Tell the truth
Keep it straight up, real and pure
Feels so good
We should all do it some more
Yeah, it's hard at first, that won't last
And when it's past you won't ask why any more
CHORUS
You gotta tell the truth
Start right away
Lyin' a way out no more
It turns round and bites you, for sure
Just tell the truth
Do it today
Try it, you might do some more
And soon you won't lie any more
Live your truth
And watch your life change day to day
You'll be sure
That you've found a better way
When the lies surround you
Have some faith; the truth'll shine on through
REPEAT CHORUS
Inside us we know what's true
Lies die, then they're gone
When life's lived from inside out
The truth finally won
Another year now witness to this life
Sometimes I'm filled with boredom at this life
Made progress but it still seems filled with strife
Won't give in to the anger of this life
So! I can't look back on my decisions
No! won't settle on your holidays from truth!
The words I want to hear so I won't go!
Won't give in now or lose my youth!
When I was young I thought I'd hit the top
I thought the more I gave the more I got
And I believed that I could right some wrongs
With the power in my head and in my songs
[Chorus]
Does evil twist decisions that we make?
Does goodness stop revenge we'd like to take?
The hand that feeds us nonsense I would break
to find freedom from the guidelines that you make
look through these eyes do ya know what you're seein'
once held the blue sky now colors are fadin'
god in your soul hell in your hands
swallow it down whole mother depression
I could lead the way forget my hell to pay
I would die if it would just make you believe
but would you let it go this I gotta know
if you could let it be
found my religion cut on a table
mirror stares back at a man who's not able
words of a savior ringin' through my head
give to us this day our daily bread
I would stand like a king ruling under one love
I could be your hero and you the truth I'm thinkin' of
I would stand like a king ruling under one love
I could be your hero if only you could let it be
I thought I could turn it around before you knew.
Before I lost, all I had.
I thought I could carry the lie, and hold you too.
But, I thought wrong. You slipped right through.
The truth ain't something you can just out run. X2
I look into your eyes and I see shattered glass,
And the faith you had in me gone like that.
I gave em the the keys to what was yours and mine,
And I crashed this sweet love of mine.
Cuz truth ain't something you can just out run x3
Oh I'm buried alive in the things I've done.
I'm crawling outta my grave. I'm looking at you with one eye open. oh I'm
Afraid there's nothin left here that ain't been broken.
Truth ain't something you can just out run.x2 run, run, run, run
It is not a question, who
Takes you to the shore
Do you even want to be saved
Pain flow
A three way trip to hell and back and hell
Exciting heaven
The same we fear to lack
Keep a price and make an offer
The deafened truth
You collect in few
It is the same show
Pain flow
Go stronger
Do you want to be rescued
Hold on
Charge to feel saved
Pain flow
The one I gathered here and today
In the meanest exciting hell
Mastered
Keep the price and make the offer
The deafened truth
You collect in few
It is the same show
Wake up, there's nobody home
There's nobody you can show
The sword you pulled out of the stone
Somebody took them away
Every morning you forget
Like your memory's erased
Too many days turning into nights
Too many wrongs turning into rights
Searching for a reason to escape
It's easy when the truth just walks away
Neighbors won't look you in the eye
There goes old man Billy Joe
Can't believe he's still alive
Carries an old bag of bones
He's always talking to himself
Doesn't know that he's alone
Too many days turning into nights
Too many wrongs turning into rights
Searching for a reason to escape
It's easy when the truth just walks away
Went to the river to lie
Found my body on the ground
Found my home up in the sky
There's no more to life than a day
Took me buried in the ground
Now you'll never hear me say
Too many days turning into nights
Too many wrongs turning into rights
Searching for a reason to escape
It's easy when the truth just walks away
Too many days turning into nights
Too many wrongs turning into rights
Searching for a reason to escape
It's easy when the truth just walks, walk on
Well I wrote a story
Got put in the paper
About all the bridges I'd burned
For the last part I lied
But you know it don't matter
Cause I'll print anything that you served
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and pull off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
That so much has happened
I ran with the union
And the ink never dried with the grass
Well the numbers got plenty
I assure you that many
Had been added by me for a gas
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
My home was the scene
Or a quarrelsome marriage
That flared up whenever i spoke
So i brought her some letters
Washed down in adventure
And my bed would be lonely no more
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
Truth, always deceiving
Never believing in yourself
Truth, not what you're giving
Not what is living inside of you
And doubt is a traitor to you
Truth is not a flower
The highest power but not for you
Truth isn't a savior, not your creator
So don't gimme your truth
And if you wanna be
What you always try to be
Don't go looking for
Something that you think you are
Everything you never thought
Is just about to happen to you
You can break through
And if you wanna be
What you always try to be
Don't go looking for
Something that you think you are
If you wanna be
What you always try to be
Don't go looking for
Something that you think you are
If you wanna be
What you always try to be
Don't go looking for
Something that you think you are
Everything you never thought
Is just about to happen to you
Truth, always deceiving
Never believing in yourself
Truth, not what you're giving
Not what is living inside of you
So don't gimme your truth
Don't gimme your truth
And if a loser dies trying
Tries at winning, wins at nothing
What does he find? He finds the truth
[Intro: Dom Pachino]
Yeah... the truth...
The Team... yo..
[Chorus 2X: Dom Pachino]
The truth's in the square, the troops in here
Check the movement, you can hear the truth in our dare
Don't even try to compare, new shit
Hotter than a rocket on flare, my troops
[Dom Pachino]
Aiyo the T's for the Truth, E for Equality
Allah is the Master, he who he seeks will see disaster
And wont get to see the day after
Paradise is something, we all after
But after the laughter, comes the tears
After the pastor reads the eulogy, and the words to
share
Got killas in the front and the rear
Lock the whole square down, the truth's in the square
The troops in here, civilians looking spooked, they
smell death in the air
Everyone's wearing black, everyone's staring at one
another
Cell phones are ringing, no one's answering
There's no time to get to panicking
I lash out, with the arsenal and start the vanishing
[Chorus 2X]
[Crunch Lo]
Yo, we modern day slaves, and we fighting for a cause
If I can't have, what's mine, I'm taking yours
Strip you to your drawers, call my wolves
They won't hesitate to pull, nigga, watch how you move
with me
It ain't gave a game, you'd rather just move with me or
feel pain
Down with the Team, or off with your top
Yo, it's my world, my climb, nigga, it's my block
Pay rent, or get bent in half
I travel with my rod and my staff
You can feel the backdraft, Moses parted the red sea
David slayed Goliath, I smoke the green and I praised
the most highest
I'm flyest, I'm wired from the bleach
Speak truth, Team Napalm, let them things off the roof
Boom, coof like Shelly, I'm trapped in the belly
Running in my Uptowns, way before Nelly
You can't tell me nothing, you just fronting and
bluffing
The rap game is sour, and niggas is fronting
[Chorus 2X]
[Tommy Whispers]
Yo, we getting paper, validate breaks like skyscrapers
Nine lives and pussy chaser, my lazer beams
Ran from your man, how you gonna face a team
T.M.F., we make and take all the CREAM
To eighteen Broad, your regime is fraud
Pull up in the green Accord and squeeze the four
G's galore, only puff if the trees is raw
My Timbs got scuffed, homey, I'm bout to, lean your jaw
Two time felon, dusty burners, we clean 'em off
And go to work on the corners, like hookers in skirt
Put a hook in the verse, to make the crooks go berserk
Wildin' in the club, Staten Island in the club
You heard? Getting tucked, by some Stapleton thugs
With cuts on they mugs, and they love to bust slugs
Magnum P.I., ride, blasting B.I.
Wake me up when it's over
It's something I can't live through
I'm starting my car
And I'm driving it right back to you
It's been such a long time
Strangers passing me by
Each face looking in at me
They don't ask me why
It freaks me out the thought of going
Through this life without you
I need you to help me make it through the night
The truth hurts more than the lie
Maybe things will get better
Before we drift away
I save whatever's left behind
For another day
It freaks me out the thought of going
Through this life without you
I need you to help me make it through the night
The truth hurts more than the lie
Now the snow is falling all around my car
Covering up the streets and the downtown bars
It freaks me out the thought of going
Through this life without you
I need you to help me make it through the night
The truth hurts more than the lie
Verse 1
I don't trust anymore
I don't believe what you say
And oh I don't know why the world lies to me this way
I don't believe anymore
You don't convince me at all
You aren't going to be here to catch me when I fall
Chorus
I don't listen anymore
Really why should I
I don't need to hear you
And really why would I
What people say will only piss me off more
I wish I could shut them all out like a door
Verse 2
Cut the bullshit please
I don't want to hear it anymore
You are a vicious liar right down to your core
Shut your mouth if you will
Don't try to fool me ever again
I mean every word I write with this pen
Chorus
I don't listen anymore
Really why should I
I don't need to hear you
And really why would I
What people say will only piss me off more
I wish I could shut them all out like a door
Verse 3
Stop talking to me
I don't wish to hear what you say
Don't lie to me
I've had enough of that today
Just leave me alone
You don't know what I'm going through
And don't act like you want me to explain
Chorus
I don't listen anymore
Really why should I
I don't need to hear you
And really why would I
What people say will only piss me off more
I wish I could shut them all out like a door
Verse 4
I don't bother anymore
There is no reason to try
There is no point in working hard
You're so dysfunctional
far too emotional
think you're unbreakable
oh, so untouchable.
I'm looking for the signs
a scarred shadow in the light
only one thought remains
I'm smiling at your pain.
I spit on your holy slaves
they swallow everything
I want them to believe
you are obscenity.
Ain't gonna come back to you
Ain't gonna come back to you
Ain't gonna come back to you
Ain't gonna rise up to you
Ain't gonna come back to you
Ain't gonna come back to you
Ain't gonna come back to you
Ain't gonna rise up to you
Get down upon your knees
no mercy, no reprieve
come here and take the stand
clean the blood off your hands.
Do you need identity?
Called Christianity?
Why can't you realise?
Your fucking bible lies.
Ain't gonna come back for you
Ain't gonna come back for you
Ain't gonna come back for you
Ain't gonna rise up for you
Ain't gonna come back for you
Ain't gonna come back for you
Ain't gonna come back for you
I know and I see
I taste, what you breathe
I cannot explain this
I feel like something takes me higher
Do you have substance?
Do you know fear?
Have you looked inside yourself?
So deep you saw things clear?
Will you?
Oh, can you?
Step outside the bounds
Force new thought and reason
Challenge your mind with altered grounds
I know and I see
So clear, inside your pain
Because I've looked inward
Immersed so deep
I can't explain
Are you ready to accept all life's demands?
Will you go beyond?
Push further, by command
Have you looked inside yourself?
The truth lies inside of your eyes
Don't misbelieve what I say
It's within you, but deep inside
Why, oh why do you run away?
Analyze all that you've found
Accept nothing at appearance
Search deep within yourself
I'll be your perseverance
Trust who?
Trust you
Trust me
Look deep
Look long
Look back
Go forth
Move beyond
Be strong
Don't be left behind
Don't fall
Don't give up
Look inside
Inside for truth
Inside my eyes
You'll see you're changing all the things you've defied
Will you?
Oh, can you?
Step outside the bounds
Force new thought and reason
Challenge your mind with altered grounds
I know and I see
So clear, inside your pain
Because I've looked inward
Immersed so deep
I can't explain
Trust who?
Trust you
Trust me
Look deep
Look long
Look back
Go forth
Move beyond
Be strong
Don't be left behind
Don't fall
Don't give up
Look inside
Wherever did you found this place,
I travel now for days and days.
It's very cold and uninviting,
Feels that I'm not wanted here.
You said your world was torn apart,
By the one who won your heart.
But I will never let you down,
I'm waiting on the edge of town.
On the edge of town,
On the edge of town.
You say you're marked upon your face,
Fighting with the small town ace.
How many times I have to say,
These people they don't like to change.
You've been a friend to start no other,
Respected you just like a brother.
For I will never let you down,
I'm waiting on the edge of town.
On the edge of town
On the edge of town
Yeah, I'll be here, yeah
(Don't you know)
(Living in this small town, you wanna come on home)
You found it hard to make ends meet.
Oh, I heard you get back on your feet,
For I will never let you down.
I'm waiting on the edge of town.
On the edge of town
On the edge of town, yeah
I'll be here, yeah
(Don't you know)
(You gotta come on home)
Long road I have travelled,
For every time.
Through the darkness I will run,
With nowhere to hide.
Oh, it's a funny thing,
You can't change what the future brings.
It's hidden (hidden),
Hidden in your eyes.
It's hidden (hidden),
Underneath your smile.
Cold rain hits like thunder, deep within.
I fear that burns to my soul, to rise again.
It's a funny thing, a part of you lives inside of me.
It's hidden (hidden),
Hidden in your eyes.
It's hidden (hidden),
Underneath your smile.
Run through the fire, turn down the walls.
Break out of the door,
Inside can hear your heartbeat call.
No easy answers left in this world,
Facing the madness if the life can too be learned.
I've been waiting here for you,
I've been watching your every move.
I give you my life or let it shine,
The secret is between us till the end of time.
It's hidden (hidden),
Hidden in your eyes.
Oh it's hidden (hidden),
Underneath your smile.
Oh it's hidden (hidden),
Running through the night.
It's hidden (hidden),
Hidden for the night.
It's hidden (hidden),
Hidden in your eyes.
It's hidden (hidden),
I see a place before me
A distant star too far away.
I hear the voice that calls me
To a land of winter time.
The cold existence in a shadow black and white.
Thunder clouds have turned the daylight into night.
And when the wind blows you hear the voices call.
Oh winterland,
We will make our home.
On this barren land,
Where nothing ever glows.
We will stand alone,
In winterland.
Now the rain has fallen,
But deep inside you feel it burn.
Bell that tolls the warning,
That goes round the wilderness.
Chilling silence weeps across the old frontfield,
Through the deepest valleys,
Through the highest hills.
And when the wind blows, you hear the voices call
Oh winterland,
We will make our home.
On this barren land,
Where nothing ever glows.
We will stand alone,
In winterland
Oh yeah
(You find yourself waiting too
You find yourself waiting too)
Oh winterland,
We will make our home.
On this barren land,
Where nothing ever glows.
We will stand alone,
In winterland.
Oh yeah, we will make our home.
On this barren land,
Where nothing ever glows.
People move on
On to a dark fate
There is a quest
A quest that can't succeed
Men cannot reach
Inmmortality
And this order fades
Without any logic
For all creations
The end exists
For all that we are
Heaven is there
Death justifies
Itself of its presence
To erase this law
Is just a heresy
Reversing elements
And the order fades
Man cannot live
Without the principle of
Dying... for deliverance
It's the ultimate perception of life
Dying... for decadence
It's the ultimate self-awareness
Without purpose
To believe is useless
Faith and ethics
Become pointless
Laziness is widespread
Without moral values
Without war
There are no more heroes
For all creatures
The end exists
For all that we are
Mother is death
Dying... for deliverance
It's the ultimate perception of life
Dying... for decadence
It's the ultimare self-awareness
So man reaches to the rank of god
With absolute knowledge in his hands
There's a cure against this plague
A cure for man, restore the real truth
There is no truth in what I saysince you've been taken
far away
If only you had thought to stay
We remain as we were
and so perfectly sure
that we need nothing else in the world
There is no truth in what I say
Though I still need you in some way
The way you left, it's not okay
Now my heart's in my throat
And I'm ready to go
There's no more democracy Only hypocrisy I am your leader I tell you what to believe
I tell the truth but it's a lie I am the reason your children die I am your leader Your lives belong to me
I used to fill my days with sorrow
I used to prove to myself
That I could be with anyone
Anyone like you
I used to be so sad and broken
I thought about the words unspoken
Every single day
And then I threw you away
I don't wanna talk about the things I've done for you
I hope you'll find a way to see the truth
I don't wanna think about the nights I prayed for you
I hope there was a time you felt just like I do
I used to be so sure about you
I believed that I owned you
You would come back anyway
Any day
In my dreams you're still beside me
But in this cold world of mine I know
That you're just a fantasy
That's our destiny
I don't wanna talk about the things I've done for you
I hope you'll find a way to see the truth
I don't wanna think about the nights I prayed for you
I was down and alone,
I had nowhere I've known in.
Till your love came along,
I was lost in my ruins.
But now I wake and I rise up,
And I face another new day.
Feeling like I'm born again.
Another new day
Calls on me, calls on me.
Another new day
Feeling like I'm born again.
Another new day, wont slip away.
No way.
I had no sunshine,
There was only rain.
I had rocks in my bed,
And pillows of pain.
But now I wake and I rise up,
And I face another new day.
Oh, feeling like I'm born again.
Another new day
It calls on me, calls on me yeah.
Another new day
Feeling like I'm born again.
Another new day, won't slip away.
I can fall in your eyes,
As I wake and I rise up.
And I face,
Another new day, oh feeling like I'm born again.
Another new day, calls on me, calls on me.
Another new day, feeling like I'm born again.
Another new day won't slip away.
How could you hurt me like this?
How could you fear me like this?
I know that all the words are just words
I think that you don't know what it means
I think that it might be true
I think I've been a fool
Oh, don't you think?
All I've done now, all I've said
All I've read, it was for real
It was for real
But I know that
That dreams are just dreams
And I know that
You're not what it used to be love
Oh love
Oh love
All I've done, all I've said
All I've read, it was for real
All I've known, all I've feared
All I've said it was for real
How could you hurt me like this?
How could you fear me like this?
I know that all the words are just words
The pain that we must all endure
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
So many who base their lives
On the prevailing point of view
And because a great many who will believe
Therefore it must be true
DARE NOT TO ASK...
Who gains? Who profits? Who wins?
Who benefits the most?
From the conditions we accept with our own lying eyes
From believing what we are told
WHAT WE ARE TOLD!
Those we condemn... THOSE WE CONDEMN
For what they know... FOR WHAT THEY KNOW
To have the vision to see beyond the status quo...
1) First they are RIDICULED then
2) Opposed so violently until...
3) ACCEPTANCE
These are the three stages of truth
The pain that we must all endure
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The pain... the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The damage... the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The pain that we must all endure
To pass the THREE STAGES OF TRUTH
The damage we must all endure
Let you back to into my life
And I will share my life with you
See your world in my view
Let you back to into my life
If you are waiting to walk through my door
I will show you what all this is for
I'll be your woman and so much more
Let me show you what this is for
(Pre-Chorus)
Nothing but the sky
Nothing but the sky
(Chorus) x2
I got mine you get yours
What truth are you settling for
I got time don't waste yours
'Cause I'm gonna rule the world
Rule the world
Rule the world
Let you back to into my world
And I will be your favourite girl
The warm makes us feel real
Let you back to into my world
Give me a chance to give you my all
And I will never let our hearts fall
I'll always be there when you call
Just let me give you my all
(Pre-Chorus)
Nothing but the sky
Nothing but the sky
(Chorus) x2
I got mine you get yours
What truth are you settling for
I got time don't waste yours
'Cause I'm gonna rule the world
Rule the world
Rule the world
(Bridge)
It's all up from here (x4)
It's all up from here
(Nothing but the sky)
It's all up from here
(Nothing but the sky)
It's all up from here
(Nothing but the sky)
It's all up from here
(Chorus) x2
I got mine you get yours
What truth are you settling for
I got time don't waste yours
'Cause I'm gonna rule the world
Rule the world
Rule the world
Rule the world
Is anybody there?
I mean I hope somebody out there
Can hear this right here
Just listen
You're gonna drive me crazy
(Don't do that)
You're gonna drive me mad
(Don't do that)
Better things are coming
I said there's truth in that
Yo, what better things can you hear them sing?
Ain't this like a celebration? Swiss gears to the top we steer
Notice my acceleration, I do it for the have not's
For the boy playing ball on the block
Xaphoon told me that this was the shot
So I stopped skipping math but I came with a plot, plot
I've prolly moved onto my next axis
And if she calling, I don't care about what my ex asks
Why? 'Cause I'm in a lab like Bill Nye
The Science Guy, flyer than fly
I could jump over top of the Empire State building
Just glide
You're gonna drive me crazy
(Don't do that)
You're gonna drive me mad
(Don't do that)
Better things are coming
I said there's truth in that
Harder to fail
You see a train, don't be the fool that jumps on the rail.
High on the scale, if a nail girl said it
I am well endowed like Harvard and Yale
Ladies man, Jesse Katsopolis
I'm getting shows booked, I be the noblest
Superman, metropolis, I profit off my topic hits
Periodically, I'm in my element, phosphorus
I'm prosperous, say we loud and too rockerish
Pro, how long are you lockin' this?
I say until apocalypse, I got this shh
You're gonna drive me crazy
You're gonna drive me mad
You've got an angel on your shoulder
Making hairpins out of glass
Baby, don't be unhappy
Baby, don't be sad
Better things are coming
I swear there's truth in that
