The truth
Tom M.C Lyrics

Ay, My father was Muslim my momma's a Christian
My parents have different religions

I couldn't even look surprised when they said they was splittin'
Their divorce didn't shock me

Wasn't no bacon or grits in, off in the kitchen
We didn't have bacon or grits for breakfast

It was missin', plate was full of non-nutrition
Our plates had unhealthy food

I was born skinny the hunger was forced in me
I was naturally thin, but poverty made me hungry

To get angry at my lifestyle, no smile wasn't born friendly
Poverty made me angry and not friendly

Born with a thorn in me, I'm scorned so I'm pourin' Remi
I have emotional pain and I drink Remi to cope

I'm thinkin' that's boys feel me, but boys is avoidin' me
I think people can relate to me, but they avoid me

Oh, got to excuse me for givin' you the truth
Sorry if I offend you with the truth

And being the type to give proof that you givin' an excuse
I back up my statements with evidence

You gotta excuse me for gettin' in the booth
Sorry, I must speak my truth in the music studio

and keepin' it real about life while you livin' in the poof...
I'm honest about life while others live in a dream

fantasy, damnit he, isn't as big a man as me
People who live in fantasies are weaker than me

If I tell him the truth he need to hear then he gettin' mad at me
People get angry when they hear the truth they don't like

The truth could hit ya as hard as assault & battery,
The truth can be as painful as physical assault

and make people that used to run with me switch up and challenge me
People who used to be my friends may betray me

But ain't we family? y'all forgettin' what y'all were
Aren't we supposed to be like family? Don't forget our past

Forget what ya boy heard, 'cause this is 'bout more words
Don't believe rumors and listen to what I'm saying

It's all 'bout communication but niggas ignore verbs
Communication is essential, but people don't listen

If ya boy shouted I'm hatin', then that got ya boy served
If someone accuses me of hate, they are wrong and will be served

Don't deny it if you a man, so you should be man enough
Be honest if you're a man, be brave enough to own up

I'm far from feminine we take pisses while standin' up
I'm not effeminate, as men, we urinate standing

They smokin' on cannibus while they tell us they jammin' us
People smoke weed and pretend to be fans

Look a fan in the face and ask em' "Are you a true fan or what"?
Challenge fans to prove their loyalty

"Are you really a fan of us"? or are you type to switch
Are you a true fan or a fake one who switches sides?

and get pissed and bootleg the disc 'cause I'm not, droppin' em' quick
People who fake fandom get angry and pirate my music

They love ya and then they diss, they hug ya and then they hiss
People love and then betray you, or are hypocritical

They happy when you arrive and go right back to being pissed
They pretend to be happy, but go back to being angry

Honestly man, I don't really even give a damn
Honestly, I don't care what people think anymore

Instead of being who you want me to be I be who I'am
I won't be who you want me to be, I'll be true to myself

I'm livin' life of my family and live life of Cham'
I am living for my family and myself

I don't live life for my fans
I don't base my life on the opinions of my fans

And don't, switch up my words just let me explain my thought
Don't twist my words, let me clarify my point

I appreciate ya support, I appreciate if ya bought,
I appreciate your support and buying my music

my cd's with all ya heart but this music is just an art
My music is art, not my entire life or personality

But it's not as precious as life in the middle is where I'm caught
While music is valuable, life is even more precious and complex

Lookin' out for my people, my motive is never evil
My motive is to help people, not harm them

My motive was never see-through, my motive was always equal
My intentions were never hidden, always fair

Outsiders would lie and try to promote it they out (to) decieve you
Enemies will lie and spread propaganda to deceive others

They give a notice to you, but don't give a notice to me too
They warn others but not me, their target

Ya, that's somethin' I call divide and conquer
This is a tactic to divide and conquer, not an honest approach

They try to get inside the monster to divide the monster
They try to infiltrate and divide groups from within

So they can become the monster, then they'll try to stomp ya
After dividing the group, they will try to overpower us

Inside the circle of friends is where you'll find imposters
Often, enemies are hiding within our trusted friends

To hell with y'all niggas
I don't care about y'all anymore
