The truth
Galt MacDermot/Handsome Boy Modeling School/Roisin Lyrics

Go
You should take action

Go to the mountain if you must
If you need space or clarity, take some time alone

Go to the burning bush
Seek guidance or wisdom from a higher power

Happy would ease your troubled mind
Joy and contentment can alleviate your worries

How do the fade just stay behind?
Don't let yourself be consumed by negative experiences. Move past them.

I know you better than you think I do
I understand you on a deeper level than you may realize

Don't worry .. this is why I fell in love with you
Your struggles and imperfections are what make you, you

The man in the looking glass
The reflection that you see

Is looking back at you at last
You can't escape who you truly are

You can't hide from the truth
The truth will always come to light

Because the truth is all there is
The truth is the only real and unchanging aspect of life

If happy times are too few and far between
If you're struggling to find joy and positivity in your life

It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
We can't forget or undo the experiences that have shaped us

So disappear, vanish if you wish
If you need to leave for your own health or wellbeing, it's okay

Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness
Don't let negative emotions consume you

And the truth is you can't hide from the truth
You can't avoid or deny reality

And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
Facing the truth can be painful, but it's necessary for growth and healing

I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go
I knew that our relationship wouldn't last forever

May not be true to see that you would return one day
It's not certain that we'll ever reconnect in the future

But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
Your behavior or attitude is causing distance between us

You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
You're not fooling anyone with your facade - you're really hiding from yourself

Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall
Our relationship is on a decline

Now presiding in this quarter: hip-hop
This section of the song will have a hip-hop style

Justice, my rap forté
I excel at rapping about justice

Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
I act as all parts of the legal system in this song

Et ceteras, paraphas
Other legal terms go here

My modus operende
My method of operation

It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Seize the moment, whether you're expressing the truth or using fancy speech

Comprende?
Do you understand?

The people versus, you ain't no Sensi
This is a legal case against someone who isn't a mastermind

Teaching that style of word-play
This person is teaching others how to rap

We got the words they
We have the vocabulary and intelligence to out-rap our opponents

Regardless of what your friends say
Don't let peer pressure dictate your actions or beliefs

They're all disable
They're not as talented or capable as we are

Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
Their arguments are invalid and won't be considered

And this long arm of the law grabs a mightier
A powerful force is taking control

Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
We'll rap skillfully and confidently, and deal with any issues later

The sentence of this live litigator
The final judgment of this skilled rapper

Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
We'll wrap things up and declare our victory

Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
The person taking notes needs to relearn legal terminology

Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
Defense lawyers are trying to negotiate a lesser charge

But when you read back verbatim
When the notes are reviewed in detail

What they're saying to persuade them
Their arguments sound less convincing

They realize exactly how I've played them
The prosecution has outsmarted the defense

I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
I only speak the truth, without exaggeration or deception

'Cause the truth hurts just as much as in' with lies will
Lying can be painful, but so can hearing the truth

I brew skill with free fills from now until
I craft my raps with precision and creativity

Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled
Copying other rappers will result in a lack of originality

Baby I don't die without you by my side
I need you in my life to feel complete

As long as you return into these arms that burn
I'll welcome you back with open arms despite any pain in our past

Baby I won't die just take a look inside
I won't let my emotions consume me - I'll work on healing from within

Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn
I desire your presence and affection

I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't let your absence break me

I won't die if you're not by my side
Though I'll miss you, I'll still thrive without you

You can't hide from the truth
Once again, you can't deny or avoid reality

Because the truth is all there is
The truth is the only steadfast aspect of life
