The Truth

Yo, truth had me up against the ropes

Semi-conscious without no boxing skills

Fear of it makes hair on my neck grow like minoxidil

Watching the clock is ill when faced with the truth

Parallels, observing amateur video tapes of

Twenty-one top-notch NYPD cops get ill

Fill their minds not to kill, still, some never revealed, true feelings

Me speaking on the truth right now in itself is a healing (Uh)

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 truths, off-course

Sure as my slave name sending

Troy Donald Jamerson paves the path, enablin' truth

To stay stable and cling to Earth

Sort of similar to the way static electricity sting (Come on), see

Truth brings light, light refracts off the mirror

Visions of yourself and error could never be 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,uh, uh(That's the truth, boy)

In due time, we will find(See it everywhere, gotta recognize, uh)

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

Wonder 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 gotta give 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

Truth, truth, truth (Yeah)

Truth, truth, truth (Mm)

In due time, we will find (The truth is...)

Check it

On my neck, I still got marks from the nooses (Uh)

The truth it produces

Fear that got niggas on the run like Carl Lewis (Yeah)

The truth is, my crew is the smoothest spitters of saliva juices

Like The Roots is, more organic than acoustics (Uh)

Heavenly, what will set you free and kill you in the same breath (What?)

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 the weight of a planet, goddamnit

I ran with what God planted in my heart, and I understand it

To be to bring some light to the dark, breathe some life in this art

This must be the truth (Why?)

'Cause we keep marching 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 sails

In the end, our names is on the lips of dying men (Uh)

If ever crushed to 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 (Find it in)

You will find, you will find, you will find

You will find, you will find, you will find

You... oh
