The Truth Lyrics

The Truth lyrics

[Pharoahe Monch]

 Yo

 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 cuz 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, cuz niggas got to live

 Said I got to get more than I'm given

 Cuz 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

 Cuz 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?) cuz 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]
