The Truth (featuring Ll Cool J) Lyrics

[LL Cool J]



Uhh.. yeah..



See, this is what these mixtapes is all about..



Knah'msayin KaySlay?



Talk to the people, with no interruptions and interference..







Put that mic down, admire the technique and tight tight sounds



of a +Renagade+, 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



Pleasur 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 Rembrant, you know?



Si palare poco Italiano



LL bravisimo, grazie, prego!



Más mejor siempre mi amigo



Pero, music is muy muy duro



Tú sabe, que tú 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..



KaySlay I'm out for presidents to represent me..



But I wanna get 'em the right way, y'know? {*echoes*
