The Truth
Handsome Boy Modeling School feat. Roisin of Moloko and J-Live Lyrics

Go
Start your journey

Go to the mountain if you must
Travel to seek answers to your problems

Go to the burning bush
Seek guidance and direction

Happy would ease your troubled mind
Happiness can alleviate your problems

How do the fade just stay behind?
Move past the fading moments and leave them behind

I know you better than you think I do
I understand you more than you realize

Don't worry this is why I fell in love with you
I love you despite your flaws and worries

The man in the looking glass
The reflection in the mirror

Is looking back at you at last
Confronting your true self

You can't hide from the truth
You cannot escape the reality

Because the truth is all there is
Reality is the only truth

If happy times are too few and far between
If happiness is rare in your life

It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
It's regrettable that we can't forget what we've experienced

So disappear, vanish if you wish
If you want to leave, go ahead

Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness
Leave before you become consumed by bitterness

I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go
I came to the realization that I would have to say goodbye

May not be true to see that you would return one day
It may not be realistic to expect you to come back

But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
In your current condition, you're not truly here

You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
You are hiding from your true self with a weak disguise

Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall
We are destined for failure if we continue on this path

Now presiding in this quarter hip-hop
Hip-hop is the focus of this moment

Justice, my rap forté
My strength is in rapping about justice

Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
Playing the roles of judge, jury, and prosecutor

Et ceteras, paraphas
Other phrases and sayings

My modus operende
My method of operation

It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Seize the day, whether it's through facts or words

The people versus, you ain't no Sensi
The people are against you, you have no sensitivity

Teaching that style of word-play
Educating on a style of playing with words

We got the words they
We have the words they don't

Regardless of what your friends say
Despite what your friends may claim

They're all disable
They are all disadvantaged

Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
Removed from the record and considered inadmissible

And this long arm of the law grabs a mightier
The law catches the mightiest of criminals

Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
Use powerful lyrics before inquiring

The sentence of this live litigator
The ruling of this skilled courtroom performer

Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
Conclude the case firmly

Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
The stenographer needs to study legal terminology again

Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
Allow your lawyers to negotiate for a deal

But when you read back verbatim
When you recite exactly what was said

What they're saying to persuade them
What they are attempting to convince you of

They realize exactly how I've played them
They become aware of my clever tactics

I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
I speak nothing but the absolute truth

'Cause the truth hurts just as much as in' with lies will
The truth is painful, like lying

I brew skill with free fills from now until
I will continue to improve my skills

Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled
Copying rappers have their style refined

Baby I don't die without you by my side
I can't live without you beside me

As long as you return into these arms that burn
If you come back to me, I'll welcome you with open arms

Baby I won't die just take a look inside
Even if you leave, I won't die but look deep within

Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn
Come back to me, I desire your presence

I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't die even if you abandon me

I won't die if you're not by my side
I won't perish if you're not present
