II Tru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin′ but the best females
This remains, not nothin'
But the females caught in the rapture
Recognize II Tru's comin′ to get ya fools
Come let a sista break you off with true flex
Straight off the View
So, let me make grand entrance
II Tru's comin′ to get ya fools
Leavin' ′em clues, but layin'
'Cause you playin′, sold no dues
Buyin′ a?, some kneel before a sista
Had to break your backside for underestimatin'
II Tru playas on this rap vibe
With skills they be flippin′ the script
Regardless Mo Thug got my back, you hold that
You catch a sista slippin' on these hard raps
Ain′t no? with a sista leakin' honestly speakin′
Gotta use they gift of flow to flip my dough
'Til I reach my peak, man
Comin' up with skills on the real, though
It don′t stop, sista thought you knew this
AJay comin′ back up tight with this beat for the score II
Tru hits
This remains, not nuthin' but best females caught in the rapture
Recognize II Tru′s comin' to get ya fools
Well, it′s Jhaz, comin' at you megablast
You don′t want to see these skills corrupt the mic
My lyrics kill on the real
Don't underestimate 'cause I′m a lady
You must be crazy, don′t play me short
'Cause the az will fade these on
And from the weed, inhalin′ all the chronic
Blazed forever dazed
II Tru comin' at through your phonics, so smoke it
Put it on my grave, II Tru high
I said it, I meant it
Pay attention, child, there′s value to this lesson
No question my bag is tight in any situation, dope
My camp is real trues, no need for perpetratin'
Flossin′, but you know I never change
I'm still that same old Jhaz them St. Clair streets
With a pocket full of cash, fool
A true forever, don't forget it
II Tru all through my blood, understand?
Don′t disrespect it
Comin′ straight off Clearview
Understand, man, I gotsta serve?
It means that flow that we sistas droppin'
II Tru gain much respect
In this game of deals
Who gonna be that fool to get served? (With nerve...)
...With nerve enough to test trues
This mack ten′s all you deserve, word, but...
...on the real these skills ain't nothin′ funny
Got lyric for days
But you best believe it's about that money (money)
Suddenly, let my mood groove you
School you, teach you the way of the trues
So go your own path, silly child
Guaranteed in the end I swear you lose
Fool, recognize this set up
We females gettin′ stupid on the rhyme styles we kickin'
Really ain't nothin′ to it
II Tru′s got what you're lookin′ for
Long of a way to drama
Stackin' loot for them tape sales
Said before, we gots no problem
In the C a game of flexin′
You play the rules, you lose
Choose wisely, second guess my flex
Bow down so to praise thes
The song "II Tru" by II Tru is a bold declaration of the group's intentions to dominate the rap game. The opening lyrics warn that they are coming for anyone who stands in their way, and that they only associate with the best females. The song is a testament to the group's skills, as they boast about their ability to flip the script and leave clues for those who try to test them. The message is clear: when it comes to rap, II Tru is not to be underestimated.
The song features verses from both Jhaz and AJay. Jhaz delivers a powerful verse about her skills and her commitment to the group, while AJay's verse is more focused on the importance of money in the rap game. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, emphasizes the group's commitment to their craft and their belief in their own abilities.
