Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No
Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
If it would ease your troubled mind
I'll be prepared to stay behind
[Verse 2]
I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry, dear
This is why I fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last
[Verse 3]
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide
[Verse 4]
If happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity, dear
We can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness
[Verse 5]
And the truth is, you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago
That I would have to let you go
[Verse 6]
May not be true to say
That you'll return one day
But in your present state
You may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise
It's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us
We are heading for a fall
[Verse 7]
Now presiding in this court of hip-hop
Justice, my rap forté
Judge, jury, bailiff, or prosecuting DA
'Cause ceteris paribus, my modus operandi
Is carpe diem whether de facto or de jure, comprende?
[Verse 8]
The People versus you and your Sensei
Teaching that style of wordplay, weaker than Wednesday
Regardless of what your friends say, they're all dissable
Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissible
[Verse 9]
While this long arm of the law grabs the mic to
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The def sentences of this Live litigator
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a gator
[Verse 10]
Stenographer are steady logging the jargon
That your counselors are barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they're saying to persuade them
They realize exactly how I've played them
[Verse 11]
I come with the truth, whole truth, and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin' with Live will
I brew skill with refills from now until
Plagiarizing MC's, get their flows distilled
[Verse 12]
Baby, I don't die
Without you by my side
As long as you return
Into these arms that burn
Baby, I won't die
Just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn
Come to these arms that yearn
[Verse 13]
I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't die, if you're not by my side
[Verse 14]
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
[Verse 15]
You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is
[Verse 16]
You can't hide from the truth, because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
