Part 2
T.R.U. Lyrics

Don't believe the devil
I choose not to believe in evil or temptation

I don't believe his book
I do not accept the teachings of those who represent evil

But the truth is not the same
However, it is important to acknowledge that without lies, the truth can be skewed

Without the lies he made up
It is essential to understand that some of the truth may have been altered or obscured through the manipulation of those who represent evil

Don't believe in excess
I do not agree with the notion of going beyond what is necessary or acceptable

Success is to give
True success lies in giving and sharing with others

Don't believe in riches
I do not believe that wealth or monetary possessions should define one's worth

But you should see where I live
However, it is worth noting that I do enjoy and appreciate the physical space and environment I reside in

I, I believe in love
Ultimately, my core belief is that love is the most important and powerful force in the world

Don't believe in forced entry
I do not condone or support any form of coercive or violent behavior, especially towards those who are vulnerable or unconsenting

Don't believe in rape
It is crucial to reject and condemn any form of sexual assault or violence

But every time she passes by
However, I cannot help having sexual desires towards women

Wild thoughts escape
Sometimes, my sexual impulses and desires can be intense and difficult to control

I don't believe in death row
I do not agree with the idea of capital punishment or sentencing someone to death

Skid row or the gangs
I also do not support or condone any form of gang violence or the desperation that drives people to live on the streets

Don't believe in the Uzi
I do not believe in violence as a means to solving problems or injustices

It just went off in my hand
Admittedly, sometimes accidents can happen but that should not justify the use of guns

Don't believe in cocaine
I do not believe in or promote the use of illegal drugs, especially those that are highly addictive and harmful

Got a speed-ball in my head
However, I have taken drugs in the past and I understand the potential dangers and consequences

I could cut and crack you open
Sometimes, drug use can lead to violent or destructive behavior that can harm others

Do you hear what I said
I want to make it clear that despite my experiences, drug use is not something to be glorified or condoned

Don't believe them when they tell me
I am skeptical of those who insist that certain issues or problems are unsolvable or cannot be fixed

There ain't no cure
It is important to maintain hope and optimism that solutions can be found to even the most daunting challenges

The rich stay healthy
It is unfortunately true that people with more resources and access to healthcare are often healthier than those without

While the sick stay poor
This creates an unjust and inequitable system where those who are already struggling have to additionally fight to stay healthy

Don't believe in Goldman
I do not trust or believe in those who are motivated purely by greed and profit

His type like a curse
These people and their influence can bring harm and misfortune to the world and the people in it

Instant karma's going to get him
I believe that there is a certain justice in the universe that will ultimately hold these people accountable for their actions

If I don't get him first
However, I also recognize that sometimes it is up to us to take action and hold those responsible for injustice accountable

Don't believe that rock 'n' roll
I do not believe that music or any form of entertainment can single-handedly change the world

Can really change the world
While art, music and other forms of expression can inspire and influence change, it is ultimately up to people themselves to make lasting changes happen

As it spins in revolution
Perhaps music can be seen as a metaphor for the larger societal movements happening around us, but it is only a part of a larger picture

It spirals and turns
However, ideas and beliefs can spread and gain momentum, ultimately leading to meaningful changes in the world

Don't believe in the 60's
I do not believe in romanticizing or idealizing the past

The golden age of pop
While the 60's may have had their moments of cultural significance and artistic brilliance, it is not healthy to cling to any single moment in time as an ideal

You glorify the past
Acknowledging the past is important, but it is equally important to focus on the present and the future

When the future dries up
It is also necessary to recognize the potential dangers and challenges facing our future, but we should not let that dampen our spirits or motivation to make a difference

Heard a singer on the radio
Recently, I heard a musician on the radio who inspired me with their message of hope and perseverance

late last night
It was a meaningful moment that came to me during a late hour when I was feeling most introspective

He says he's gonna kick the darkness
The singer's message was one of defiance and resolve, proclaiming their intention to forcefully push back against negativity and despair

'Til it bleeds daylight
This is a sentiment of persistence and resilience, of a belief in the power of goodness and love to ultimately overcome darkness and hate

Love
This is the ultimate truth and message that underlies everything I believe in and stand for

Love

Love

Love

I feel like I'm falling
Despite my beliefs and convictions, I am human and fallible, prone to moments of doubt or fear

Like I'm spinning on a wheel
These feelings may manifest as a sense of being lost or directionless, like I am stuck in a rut

It always stops beside of me
However, I know that eventually, the wheel of life will turn and I will find myself in a new and hopeful situation

With a presence I can feel
In those moments, I try to focus on the feeling of connection and love that surrounds me, from friends, family, and the divine

I, I believe in love
This core belief, even in the face of adversity, fear and uncertainty, is what keeps me grounded and hopeful, and reminds me of why I am here on this earth
