Truth
Ch.I.P Lyrics

It's not natural
Anything that goes against God is not natural

If it goes against God
Anything that does not align with God's teachings is not natural

It's not factual
Anything that is not based on facts can't be considered true

Her truth is not hard
The truth that the artist is referring to is not difficult to understand or grasp

Gimme the truth!
The artist is asking for the truth, as opposed to lies or misinformation

Listen to the lyric as the negative is shrinkin
The singer is asking the listener to pay attention to the message in the song as they try to reduce negativity in their life

It's shrinkin out your life when you decide to change your thinkin
When you change the way you think, it helps to eliminate negativity from your life

One of the first things we gotta switch around of course
One of the initial changes we need to make when changing our mindset is to reconsider our beliefs about Jesus Christ

Is Jesus Christ, and him dying on the cross
The artist is referring to the widely held belief that Jesus Christ died on the cross

You're looking at the cross, surrounded in it's mystery
The cross is often thought of as a mysterious symbol associated with Jesus Christ's death

With Jesus on the cross in a, total misery
The singer is describing the traditional depiction of Jesus on the cross in a state of pain and suffering

Now separate Jesus from the cross so you can see
The artist is asking the listener to consider the cross as a separate symbol from Jesus Christ's death

The truth about the cross, and the cross's history
The singer is suggesting that there is more to the symbol of the cross than its association with Jesus Christ's death

The cross was created by the Roman government
The singer is explaining the historical origins of the cross as a symbol of execution used by the Roman government

It's only purpose and use, is cap-I-tal punishment
The primary intention behind the creation of the cross was its use in capital punishment

But Jesus Christ, was all about the revolution
The artist is suggesting that Jesus Christ was a revolutionary figure who challenged the status quo

While the cross was used as Jesus Christ's execution
Despite its history, the cross became synonymous with Jesus Christ's death and is now associated with his sacrifice for humanity's salvation

See what if Jesus Christ, was hung upon a tree
The singer is proposing an alternate scenario in which Jesus Christ's death was represented by a different symbol

Upon every church wall, that's exactly what you'd see
If a tree were chosen as a symbol, it may have become common to display trees in churches instead of crosses

If Jesus Christ, was shot in the head with no respect
The artist is presenting another hypothetical scenario in which an alternate symbol for Jesus Christ's death is envisioned

We'd all have little gold guns around our neck
If a gun were chosen as a symbol, it may have become common to wear gun-shaped jewelry instead of crosses

If Jesus Christ was killed in electric chair, now get it
The artist is presenting yet another hypothetical scenario, in which an alternate symbol for Jesus Christ's death is imagined

You'd be knealing to the electric chair with Jesus, still in it
If an electric chair were chosen as a symbol, it may have become commonplace to display electric chairs in churches next to an image of Jesus still in it

You gaze upon the cross, and you see the execution
The artist is suggesting that when someone looks at the cross, they only see a representation of Jesus Christ's execution rather than the broader significance of the symbol

You yell stop the violence but the cross you're still using
The singer is criticizing the use of the cross as a symbol, arguing that it represents violence and should not be used if one is against violence

So I say listen, listen, open up your third eye vision
The singer is asking the listener to be receptive to a different perspective and to try and see things from a new perspective

God is not down with religion
The singer is suggesting that organized religion does not have a monopoly on God or any divine being

Religion they be sellin it, listen up, God is intelligent
The artist is criticizing the commercialization of religion and asserting that God is an intelligent and all-knowing being

Reading of the bible is irrelevant
The artist is asserting that reading the Bible does not necessarily lead to spiritual enlightenment or understanding of God

You gotta look within yourself, not a scripture
The singer is suggesting that true understanding of God and spirituality comes from within oneself rather than from any religious text

KRS-One comes to rearrange the God picture
The singer is presenting himself as someone who is trying to provide a different and more accurate presentation of God and spirituality

If you sit and believe, you can achieve
The artist is suggesting that if someone holds a particular belief, they can realize that belief in their life

If you sit and accept, you don't know, what's correct
The artist is suggesting that blindly accepting something without questioning it is not the same as knowing what is true or correct

Or incorrect, take for instance Adam and Eve
The artist is using the story of Adam and Eve as an example of something that may not be true or correct

The first two people on the planet, or so you believe
The singer is suggesting that the belief in Adam and Eve as the first two people on Earth is a matter of belief rather than fact

Their first time in heaven kids they had, Cain and Abel
The story of Adam and Eve tells of their children Cain and Abel, who were born in Heaven

Huh, now let me show you why the story's unstable
The singer is about to provide some reasons why the story of Adam and Eve may not be a trustworthy account of what happened

According to the story, according to what you believe
The singer is acknowledging that the story of Adam and Eve is something that is based on what people believe to be true rather than objective fact

There was only Cain, Abel, Adam, and Eve
According to the story, the first four people on Earth were Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel - there were no others

On the whole planet, now use your intellect
The artist is asking the listener to think critically about the implications of this apparent fact

And tell me, what did Cain and Abel do for sex?
The artist is asking a rhetorical question, suggesting that there is no explanation within the Adam and Eve story as to how subsequent generations of people were conceived

Upon the whole planet there was not another
The singer is pointing out the fact that there are no other people mentioned in the Adam and Eve story aside from the first four individuals

Could it be for sex, heh, they were looking at each other?
The singer presents the possibility that Cain and Abel had sex with each other, as there were no other potential partners available

Hold up! I thought the church wasn't into that
The artist is highlighting the apparent dissonance between the church's teachings and the implications of the Adam and Eve story

But wait, still yet, there is another fact
The artist is indicating that there is another issue with the Adam and Eve story that they are about to bring up

How did the world get populated?
The artist is questioning how, if Adam and Eve were the first two people on Earth, the subsequent generations of people came into being

Now tell me if I'm wrong, but obviously Eve had it goin on
The singer is making a humorous suggestion that the only explanation for how the world got populated is that Eve must have had sex with someone/something else

Think for a minute, I know it gets notorious
The artist is asking the listener to consider this scenario despite how scandalous it may seem

But yo G, check out the chorus
The singer is directing the listener's attention back to the chorus, suggesting that the song is still focused on the importance of truth and accurate understanding of spirituality and religion

Yo yo
This is a call for the listener's attention

Yo bring that back
This is a request to replay the song or to re-focus the listener's attention

I want to say something on this BlastMaster session
The artist is introducing themselves as someone who has something to say on this song or in general

Yo this is Rich Nice
The artist is identifying themselves as someone named Rich Nice

You brothers gotta stop treating these hoes like nice girls
The singer is addressing men and asking them to change how they treat women

And these nice girls like hoes
The singer is also noting that women should not be treated poorly either

True indeed, I'd like to welcome the rebirth of the Goddess
The artist is suggesting that there should be a renewed respect and reverence for the feminine divine

Word up it's all about knowledge of self
The artist is emphasizing the importance of understanding oneself in achieving spiritual enlightenment or understanding

Yo Busta Rhymes, why don't you take the session over from here
The artist is now handing the microphone over to Busta Rhymes to continue speaking
