Somewhere In The Silence
T.R.U.T.H Lyrics

I believe that if I fly, I’ll prolly end up somewhere in paradise
I believe that good things will happen if I take risks

Chancelor the rapper, Chatham the hood
I have two identities - my stage name and my hometown

Santa to children, had to bag up the good
I may be a rapper now, but I used to sell drugs

They say I'm saving my city, say I'm staying for good
People think I am helping my community and plan to stay there

They screaming Chano for mayor, I'm thinking maybe I should
People are joking that I should run for mayor, but I am considering it seriously

Fucked a few A&R's, told 'em bitch I can’t wife you
I have turned down record label deals and made it clear that I am not interested

Told your ass since day one, I don't like like labels or titles
I have always been honest about not liking the way the music industry operates

I’m a rascally rabbit, I know that tricks is for addicts
I am always up to something, but I know that some people are addicted to deceit

That need fixes for habits, in love with carrots and cabbage
Some people need help breaking their bad habits, but I am focused on healthy foods

I’m a savage, established bad bitch magnet, I'm magic
I am confident and successful, attracting strong and independent partners

Your majesty, I’m majestic, I think my message is massive
I am proud of myself and think that my message is important

Think you passive aggressive, I think you passed up your prime
I think some people are not reaching their full potential

Think you passed up your chance to be Chance now pass it to A-Rap
I think some people missed their opportunity to succeed in the music industry

I should have rhymed it with rhyme ain't we been here before
I am reflecting on my previous songwriting and trying to improve

Ain’t my principal told me that I can’t rap at that show
My old school principal didn't believe in my music career

Then I rapped at that show, simple as that
But I proved them wrong and succeeded anyway

Got a complex from Complex off of the simplest raps
My music gained attention from a popular blog despite its simplicity

Fannin' the fire, hands is up higher
I am getting excited and passionate about my music

Cannot believe it, damn I’m a rider
I am proud of myself and my accomplishments

Riding on twenties, twenty years prior, I couldn’t buy a
I used to struggle financially, but now I am successful

Forget it you get it, God is so awesome, devil’s a liar
I am thankful for my success and my faith keeps me grounded

Take ‘em to church but I need a choir
My music is deeply personal and meaningful

Blow out your speakers, roll some more loud
My music is loud and intense

That’s the sound of the reefer, I think my parents is proud
I am open about my drug use and my parents may not approve

Thank my fans in the bleachers, think my teachers need features
I appreciate my fans and think that my teachers helped shape me into who I am today

I think I’m walking with Jesus, I knew my feet wouldn't drown
I feel like I have a strong connection to my faith and purpose

I been close to the edge, I been tripping and stuff
I have struggled with mental health and addiction

Somebody slipped me a mickey, but I ain't giving a fuck
Someone may have tried to sabotage me, but I will not let it stop me

Really, a milli, how ‘bout six billion more
I am celebrating my success, but also striving for more

Or I’m outie like how'd he cut that umbilical cord
If I am not successful, I will move on and try something else

As I smoke herb in this Uber suburban dressed in an Urban Outfitters
I am enjoying my life and success

Shirt and burgundy pair of Jordans
I am stylish and fashionable

I asked the acid if words were worth worrying over
I am reflecting on the importance of my music and success

Her explanation seemed agitated
I am feeling confused and conflicted about what I am doing with my life

She said let me answer your question with some questions questioning yours
I am questioning my own motivations and decisions

Like why the devil can't get you?
I feel like I am protected from negative influences and temptations

And why these labels can't catch you?
I don't feel like record labels can control me or my music

And why'd he make you so special, why did he bless you?
I am not sure why I have been so successful, but I am grateful for it

Think about it
I am urging myself to reflect more deeply on my life and success

I woke up this morning
I am grateful for another day of life

Gotta smile when I say that shit, I woke up this morning
I am happy and positive about my life

I believe, I believe, there's somewhere out there for us all
I have faith that there is a purpose or place for everyone

There's a paradise (there is a paradise)
There is a better place or life beyond our current struggles

I believe that if I die, I'll see my homies somewhere in paradise
I believe that my friends who have passed away are in a better place

Fannin' the fire, hands is up higher
I am passionate and intense

Cannot believe it, damn I’m a rider
I am proud of myself and my success

Riding on twenties, twenty years prior, I couldn’t buy a
I have come a long way from my past struggles and poverty

Forget it you get it, God is so awesome, devil’s a liar
I attribute my success to God and don't believe in negative influences

Take ‘em to church but I need a choir
My music is personal and meaningful, like a religious experience

I believe, I believe, I believe
I have faith and confidence in myself and my future

Somewhere in paradise
There is a better life or place beyond our current struggles
