Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We mus face de moment of trut baybe
They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
We all must meet our moment of truth
Could set you up and wet you up, nigga peep the language
It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
Or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracks
It doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
But I can't jeapordize, what I have done up to this point
So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
You know I be the masterof the who what where and why
See when you're shinin, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
Down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
'Cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
But just as you'll receive what is comin to you
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
That everyone must meet their moment of truth
Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
You may not know the harships people don't speak of
It's best to step back, and observe with couth
For we all must meet our moment of truth
Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere
Why do bad things happen, to good people?
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
The situation that I'm facin, is mad amazin
To think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
Now I'm contemplatin in my bedroom pacin
Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin
Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy
Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin high
'Cause all that's gonna do really, is accelerate
The anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit, before
So I oughta be able, to withstand some more
But I'm sweatin though, my eyes are turnin red and yo
I'm ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine
My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind
And now some skanless motherfuckers wanna take what's mine
But they can't take the respect, that I've earned in my lifetime
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
So like they say, every dog has it's day
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
So I pray, remembering the days of my youth
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth
(You should know the truth
And the truth shall set you free)
Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
Another one, is pointed at your weak ass heart
Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines
You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
Yeah the bitin triflin niggaz, and the studio pranksters
Yo lookin at the situation plainly: will you remain G?
Or will you be looked upon strangely?
I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
Revolvin on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam
While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphots
I explore more, to expose the core
A lot of MC's, act stupid to me
And we have yet to see, if they can match our longevity
But anyway it's just another day
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
Styles, smooth but rugged -- you can't push or shove it
You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it
The king of monotone, with my own throne
Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones
Stormin your hideout, blockin out your sunlight
Your image and your business, were truly not done right
Throw up your he-Allah-I now, divine saviors
You got no hand skills there's no security to save ya
No pager, no celly, no drop top Benz-y
I came to bring your phone hip-hop, to an ending
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
'Cause you must meet your moment of truth

'Cause you must meet your moment of truth
Because you will eventually face your defining moment

@honey241232
I ain't never met a girl, like you
And you'll never find a man, like me
Walking out the door, with you on my arm
You can hit me on my phone anytime you want
Got me going mad, when you dress like that
Girl, it's a trap when you act like that (Yeah)
I ain't even mad when you dress like that (Skate)
I know you know you bad when you act like that
Oh yeah
Met a bad bitty from the state of Mississippi
Really pretty and I wanna take her home to see the city (in my city)
Doing your thing, got me insane
Walk in the mall and you cop me a chain
I was like damn,
You hot as a flame.
Your mom is the only one that you can blame
You so cute, girl, yeah you is a blessing
And I'm the reason that your boyfriend keep flexing
Never stop texting every time I see your name up in my phone
I'm just picturing your body in that dress and makeup on
You don't even need the makeup
Save that shit for later
You the baddest thing I seen I'm thanking your creator
Girl, I see you working like Miley Cyrus be twerking
I'm certain you'll be screaming for me when I close the curtains
But it's funny, 'cause I'm the one screaming now for you, baby
I been messing around with too many girls, I need a lady
Hoping you can be the one but you need to show it
And if you prove it to me, all this money, girl, we'll blow it
I ain't never met a girl, like you
And you'll never find a man, like me
Walking out the door, with you on my arm
You can hit me on my phone anytime you want
Got me going mad, when you dress like that
Girl, it's a trap when you act like that
I ain't even mad when you dress like that
I know you know you bad (OK) when you act like that (hah) (get it)
Walked up in the spot, we do this a lot
Living at the top, attention you caught mine
Let's pop a bottle, good God
Look at what we got
Double take like a stop sign
I thought I would be done with all of this stuff
But shit, I guess not (I thought I'd be done)
I'm tryin' to get at you
Trust me I'm not your average individual
Yeah, I can slow it down
But I ain't talking about verses
I know what you're worth
And my head I've already bought you a purse and much more
And I got everything you need just like the drugstore
Oh, and before you ask
Keeping haters off of my nuts, yeah that's what they come for
A bunch more
Chances are comin' your way, but I know that you'll take me
(It's crazy)
How people get lust and love mixed up
I'm beginning to daydream
Of what we could be and the things we could do if you give me your time
But tonight, all that's on my mind
Is gettin' to know you and making you mine
You're a dime, girl
A straight ten
Like holy moly, me oh my
I don't even know where to begin
And let's pretend that in this moment in time we're more than friends,
And I recommend that you and I get familiar
I ain't never met a girl, like you
And you'll never find a man, like me
Walking out the door, with you on my arm
You can hit me on my phone anytime you want
Got me going mad, when you dress like that
Girl, it's a trap when you act like that
I ain't even mad when you dress like that
I know you know you bad when you act like that
Oh yeah
