Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cameras flashing snoop interviewing Bill Clinton
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
Since I believe and I think any person reasonable person would
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Snoop Dogg's song "True Lies" featuring Kokane present a satirical commentary on the state of politics and society as a whole. The song starts with Snoop interviewing Bill Clinton, asking him whether he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. Clinton responds by evading the question and saying that he only had "inappropriate intimate contact with her" that falls outside the definition of sexual relations. Through this, Snoop highlights the inherent dishonesty and lack of transparency in politics and in public figures.


The chorus of the song, sung by Kokane, questions the purpose of the truth if one cannot tell a lie occasionally. This can be interpreted in two ways - firstly, it could highlight the fact that society often accepts lies and falsehoods as the norm, and that telling the truth is not always valued. On the other hand, it could also be seen as a commentary on the fact that sometimes it is necessary to tell white lies in order to maintain social harmony and avoid hurting others.


Snoop's verse in the song is a commentary on the nature of lying and how it pervades every aspect of our society. He mentions how everyone lies and tries to get by and how some people drink while others get high. He also speaks about the need to stick together as black people but also acknowledges that this unity may not always be possible.


Overall, "True Lies" is a satirical take on the state of politics and society, highlighting the culture of lying and dishonesty that pervades every aspect of our lives.
