Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo hold on hold on hold on hold on
Stop the cameras stop the press stop the press
Now bill this yo' nigga snoop dogg
Now answer me this did you fuck that bitch or what
Bill Clinton
That's actually not the first time that question's been asked but
Believe that that is not covered in the definition of sexual
Relations I was given ahh I'm not going to answer it except to
Refer to my statement I had intimate contact with her that was
Inappropriate I do not believe any of the contacts I had with
Her violated the definition I was given therefore I believe I
Did not do anything but testify truthfully on these matters
[Chorus 1: Kokane]
What's the use of the truth if you can't tell a lie sometimes
What's the use of the truth if you can't tell a lie hie
What's the use of the truth if you can't tell a lie sometimes
What's the use of the truth if you can't tell a lie hie
[Chorus 2: Snoop Dogg]
Lies lies stories and alibis
Big mac in the land of the small fries
Everyone lies and tries to get by
Some of us drink while most just get high
[Snoop Dogg]
You trying to cover up the holes in your sneakers
You need to put your motherfucking face to the speakers ba bom ba bom
And quit trying to run from it holla holla at me
And see'mere you big dummy dumb ass nigga
Don't you know you can't run from the dizzogg
I'm down with za the long arm of the lizzaw
Why y'all niggas know what's happening you turn your back again
And I'm bound to get it crack a lin I'm back again
And everybody happy for me ain't that the truth
That's a motherfucking lie fuck that fool
Black folks stick together til we die hmm
That'll be the day
[Chorus 1]
[Snoop Dogg]
Liar liar pants on fire
Smoke so much dope they call me snoopy pryor well god damn
Which way is up I'm trying to get higher
I won't stop puffin til I re tire
My bitches my niggas they off the wire
They lovely they love me call me sire
Movie star bitches the ones you desire
Angela Bassett Tyra Mariah the fliest the flier
See most bitches like fucking with a rider
Slider to the sider invite her
To a gangsta party provider laughing
With a lot of meat by products mm
And beat the puddy pot and got up
She licked the dick from the top to the bottom
Woo woo woo woo that's a bad bitch
Then she grabbed me by my nuts and said hmm I got 'em
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
Kokane
Ah what's the use of the truth
If you can't tell a lie sometimes
The song "True Lies" by Snoop Dogg featuring Kokane is an intense, controversial track with more edge than most of his tracks. The lyrics revolve around the concept of lies and truth and code-switching in society. The intro portrays Snoop Dogg interviewing Bill Clinton, asking whether he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. The chorus is provided by Kokane, who argues that sometimes it's good to tell a lie instead of the truth. Snoop Dogg then expands upon this concept, describing that everyone tells lies and exaggerations to get by in society, and some people use drugs and alcohol to cope with their problems.
One of the main themes of the song is that people in power often lie, but are not held accountable for it. Snoop tells Bill Clinton that he cannot run from the truth, and accuses him of trying to cover up his mistakes. He also touches upon the importance of racial solidarity, suggesting that black people need to stick together rather than bending to the will of the majority. Overall, the song is a critique of society and its double standards.
