歌詞
What I want people to know is that, don't
Don't support the phonies but support the real
You know what I mean? How can these people be talking
About how they so real that they don't care about our communities
How can they be talking about what they all this the hood, blah-blah...
They don't care about our communities, you know what I mean?
Listen to the words people say in their lyrics
And tell me if that's some real ****
If that's real to you, you know what I mean?
Listen to what they're saying
Don't just bob your head to the beat, peep the game
And listen to what I'm saying and hold us accountable for it
Thought to be a rotten egg hatched from a bad block
I found God and came back for the have not's
I can't necessarily brag like I'm that guy
But I refuse to be another one of rap's mascots
They rap 'bout the trap like it ain't a bad spot
But ask when the last time they hand touched a crack pot
It's either a long time ago or never
But if the money right, I'ma rhyme about whatever
They rap about Glocks from a house on the hill
So they never hear the shots at night
You see the loud cries from a mother with a child in the gutter
Apparently doesn't travel that high
I almost wanna cry but you would prolly wonder if I'm acting
'Cause you are so used to rappers that lack passion
Your minds been trained to reject what I'm givin' you
The Truth, and it's nothing new, it just ain't familiar
The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire
So I'ma tell the truth
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar)
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar
The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire
So I'ma tell the truth
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar)
You just mad it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar
But they gon' hear the truth from me
See I coulda sat back and let Jay be a liar
And say he diss religion 'cause he feel that it divide us
And you can sit back and be like "It makes sense"
But it doesn't in a court where my Father is your honor
Now is it really 'cause you hate the separation
Enough that you could attack Jesus and make it blatant
But go through your career sayin' nathing 'bout the banging?
You say it to the church but won't say it to the gangsters?
Jesus said "Love your brother", banging says slay 'em
Wit' a case, so hatred for separation ain't what we facing
So if he wasn't, which he is, a mason down with Satan
You can break his statement down and see he ain't what he portrayin'
His verse wasn't even 'posed to go that route
But when the truth on the inside, it flow right out
You gotta listen deeper, you gotta be a thinker
And not be ready to eat anything rap feeds you
The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire
So I'ma tell the truth
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar)
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar
The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire
So I'ma tell the truth
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar)
You just mad it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar
But they gon' hear the truth from me
How's this for the truth? I lived in the booth
Since eight, with big dreams of gettin' to the loot
And I figured all these rap spitters were the truth
Lookin' up to what really was a midget on a roof
They write down BS and give it to the youth
Watching kids go to prison while they sittin' in they coupes
Tell 'em you the boss and how you're rich off cocaine
Used to be the law and plead the fifth like bro man
We more ashamed of bein' cops than drug dealers
We holla thug and try to hide the love in us
But I done had conversations with the hardest
Some of 'em heart big, they just tryin' hard to guard it
And I kinda feel that, but I'm tryna kill that
Hide the thug, show the love, why would you conceal that?
Even if it is real, you are too grown
To not know that you wrong, it is what it is, homie
The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire
So I'ma tell the truth
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar)
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar
The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire
So I'ma tell the truth
Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar)
You just mad it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar
But they gon' hear the truth from me
Even though I was survivin' in the thug life
Everybody that was tryin' to be like me was goin' to jail
And then finally I went to jail
Even though I wasn't gettin' shot up, they was all gettin' shot up
Then I got shot up
And I started sayin' "Damn, you know, it is my fault"
It is... it's not my fault where I made it happen
But it's my fault because I'm smarter than that
