Truth is truth hurts and I'm the truth fools/
That's why you gotta a problem with this product of the true skool/
Came up on Tribe and Dre, but revered the golden age/
Knew that it was just like L.I.F.E., it would go and change/
From gangster to Islam to shit like Das Efx/
Now we got Soulja Boy, TELL ME who copped respect?
Not no flash in the pan, internet sensation/
Got me asking my man, "Is this innovation?"
Nope never not at all-just another market trend/
More business than music, what's your fucking argument/
Just like your verses you're at a loss for words/
Industrial revolution has got to occur/
No more being subject to powers that be/
CEO's need to go on top of radio towers and leap/
Swan dive, 'cause it's their swan song/
Musical integrity, long gone//

(chorus)
Its the truth, with a capital T
It's the truth, the way it happens to be/
It's the truth, so don't get mad at me/
when I give you the truth an no fantasy (x2)

(Vrs)
Truth is, pretty offensive/
To those it pertains to, worried defensive/
You can see who that is by their reaction/
'Cause they're affected, despise all the facts when/
They're stacked against them chipping their shoulders/
We're all rough around the edges, tripping when told we're /
Not what we though, or who we are/
Live a waking life, confused as movie stars/
Realities cramped spaces, place and things/
Living minimal, chasing a dream/
Hope and mirrors, glitter and glitz cover it's cracks/
if you only seen how we suffer and lack/
There wouldnt be such a quick disregard/
For those exposed when shit gets real hard/
Any less of a person would fold to the pressure/
constantly judged when you open your chest up

(Chorus)
