The Truth

I came to tell 'em the truth

And the truth hurts

She said do what you're suppose to

And never let them fold ya

Momma was a thug, I was raised by a solider

The purse on the shoulder got a pistol with no holster

Said let a **** make a move, and I'ma toast them

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

Wanna know my life? A lotta death and some street fights

Walking home at night, they smoking meth by the street lights

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

See heights that they never thought I could reach

Word games and flash cards, so my daughter can speak

Cause she about to turn five, but she can't say a word

Say she's not autistic, 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

Tounge 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 how won the 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

Going hard while you sleep, as a man I'm incomplete

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'm a feast, yeah, I'ma feast

Struggle can make you weak, I used to cry my self to sleep

Really was broke as hell, my baby momma call me cheap

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

Bring hope to the hopeless, repairs for the broken

Aware that I was chosen, I swear I stay focused

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 came to tell 'em the truth

And the truth hurts

Yeah, I'm here to tell you the truth

I just hope it works
