The Truth Lyrics

I came to tell 'em the truth

And the truth hurts


She said "do what you're supposed to, and never let 'em fold you"

Momma was a thug, I was raised by a soldier

The purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holster

Said "let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast 'em"

Ghost 'em, sleep tight ain't never what it seem like

Wanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fights

Walking home at night they smoking meth by the streetlights

Had to check some niggas cause they thought I was the weak type

See heights that they never thought I could reach

Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak

Cause she 'bout to turn 5 and she can't say a word

Since she's not autistic all these doctors getting on my nerves

Consistent with my urge until I get what i deserve

Killing all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purge

Tongue tricking while I drive, baby please don't make me swerve

She only interested for benefits will I ever learn


I came to tell 'em the truth

And the truth hurts

I'm here to tell you the truth

I just hope it works

I came to tell 'em the truth

And the truth hurts

I'm here to tell you the truth

I just hope it works


I grew up with screw ups but I ain't really do much

Hit the park and see who wanna battle for a few bucks

Anybody want it, they can get it, come get chewed up

Don't make me have to pull your card and bag you like a school lunch

Who us, what you mean? You witnessing a couple kings

Bring my team to chase the dream I'm tryna do my thing

Right, going hard while you sleep as a man I'm complete

So at times I take it deep , before I hit the booth I tend to pray for every beat

Cause momma always said bless your food before you eat

And I'mma feast, yeah I'mma feast

Struggle can make you weak I used to cry myself to sleep

Really was broke as hell, my babymomma called me cheap

Cause I never let her see me down I kept it so discrete

Bringing hope to the hopeless, repairs for the broken

Aware that I was chosen, I swear I'll stay focused
