Yeah...
Chamillionaire..Mixtape Messiah baby
Always want to know something bout me man
want to know somethin bout me?
Don't judge me..don't judge me by my music
And don't judge me bout what you heard about me either
Chamillionaire..listen
Ay, My father was Muslim my momma's a Christian
I couldn't even look surprised when they said they was splittin'
Wasn't no bacon or grits in, off in the kitchen
It was missin', plate was full of non-nutrition
I was born skinny the hunger was forced in me
To get angry at my lifestyle, no smile wasn't born friendly
Born with a thorn in me, I'm scorned so I'm pourin' Remi
I'm thinkin' that's boys feel me, but boys is avoidin' me
Oh, got to excuse me for givin' you the truth
And being the type to give proof that you givin' an excuse
You gotta excuse me for gettin' in the booth,
and keepin' it real about life while you livin' in the poof...
fantasy, damnit he, isn't as big a man as me
If I tell him the truth he need to hear then he gettin' mad at me
The truth could hit ya as hard as assault & battery,
and make people that used to run with me switch up and challenge me
But ain't we family? y'all forgettin' what y'all were
Forget what ya boy heard, 'cause this is 'bout more words
It's all 'bout communication but niggas ignore verbs
If ya boy shouted I'm hatin', then that got ya boy served
Don't deny it if you a man, so you should be man enough
I'm far from feminine we take pisses while standin' up They smokin' on cannibus while they tell us they jammin' us
Look a fan in the face and ask em' "Are you a true fan or what"?
"Are you really a fan of us"? or are you type to switch
and get pissed and bootleg the disc 'cause I'm not, droppin' em' quick
They love ya and then they diss, they hug ya and then they hiss
They happy when you arrive and go right back to being pissed
Honestly man, I don't really even give a damn
Instead of being who you want me to be I be who I'am
I'm livin' life of my family and live life of Cham'
I don't live life for my fans
And don't, switch up my words just let me explain my thought
I appreciate ya support, I appreciate if ya bought,
my cd's with all ya heart but this music is just an art
But it's not as precious as life in the middle is where I'm caught
Lookin' out for my people, my motive is never evil
My motive was never see-through, my motive was always equal
Outsiders would lie and try to promote it they out (to) decieve you
They give a notice to you, but don't give a notice to me too
Ya, that's somethin' I call divide and conquer
They try to get inside the monster to divide the monster
So they can become the monster, then they'll try to stomp ya
Inside the circle of friends is where you'll find imposters
To hell with y'all niggas
(Chamillionaire Talks about all the controversy and clears all the rumors)
{Song Ends after Talking}
In Lion's song The Truth, he talks about his upbringing and experiences that have shaped his outlook on life. He mentions how his father was Muslim and his mother was Christian, and how their separation did not surprise him. The absence of nutrients and the prominence of hunger in their household led to a harsh lifestyle where Lion had to be tough from a young age. He feels misunderstood and scorned because of it, and he pours out his emotions through his music.
Lion highlights the importance of truth and how it can be uncomfortable and difficult to accept. He speaks about how people can be quick to judge, even without knowing him, and how they can switch from being a fan to an adversary in a matter of moments. Despite all of this, he doesn't switch up his words or change who he is to please anyone else. He understands that music is just an art form and that his life and family are more important than his fans.
The song is a testament to staying true to oneself and always speaking the truth, regardless of its impact on others. The powerful message of the song and Lion's ability to convey his emotions through his music make The Truth an impactful and emotive piece.

(Verse 1)
In the heart of the jungle, a lion roams free,
A creature of power, no limits to see,
With each step, he's advancing, to new heights he soars,
He's the alpha, the king, the one who explores.
(Chorus)
Oh, lion in the jungle, fierce and bold,
You're more than just a story, you're a tale yet untold,
Advanced in your ways, you're the king of this land,
With strength and intelligence, you take your stand.
(Verse 2)
With primal instincts, he follows his prey,
The lion, relentless, his focus won't stray,
He's the master of hunting, in this wild frontier,
A symbol of prowess, the one we all fear.
(Chorus)
Oh, lion in the jungle, fierce and bold,
You're more than just a story, you're a tale yet untold,
Advanced in your ways, you're the king of this land,
With strength and intelligence, you take your stand.
(Bridge)
In the circle of life, the lion takes charge,
A leader of the pack, his wisdom at large,
From sunrise to sundown, he guards his domain,
A ruler to be admired, an eternal flame.
(Verse 3)
With every roar, the world listens in awe,
A majestic symphony, that's nature's own law,
He symbolizes power, in the vastness of green,
The lion, a legend, in a kingdom unseen.
(Chorus)
Oh, lion in the jungle, fierce and bold,
You're more than just a story, you're a tale yet untold,
Advanced in your ways, you're the king of this land,
With strength and intelligence, you take your stand.
(Outro)
So let the lion be a symbol, for all that we aspire,
To be advanced, strong, clever, fueling the fire,
In our own lives, let us channel his might,
And navigate the jungle, with determination, day and night.
