The truth
Truth All Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
Happy would ease your troubled mind
How do the fade just stay behind?
I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry .. this is why I fell in love with you
Is looking back at you at last
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide
If happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness
And the truth is you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go
May not be true to see that you would return one day
But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall
Now presiding in this quarter: hip-hop
Justice, my rap forté
Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
Et ceteras, paraphas
My modus operende
It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Comprende?
The people versus, you ain't no Sensi
Teaching that style of word-play
We got the words they
Regardless of what your friends say
They're all disable
Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
And this long arm of the law grabs a mightier
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The sentence of this live litigator
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they're saying to persuade them
They realize exactly how I've played them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as in' with lies will
I brew skill with free fills from now until
Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled
Baby I don't die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms that burn
Baby I won't die just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn
I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't die if you're not by my side
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth

Now presiding in this quarter: hip-hop
Hip-hop music is now taking center stage
Justice, my rap forté
Justice is what I excel at in my rap skills
Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
I am taking on the role of judge, jury, and prosecuting attorney in my rap
Et ceteras, paraphas
Other various things, I express
My modus operende
My way of operating
It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Seize the moment, whether you're expressing a fact or an opinion
The people versus, you ain't no Sensi
This is a battle between the people and your lack of sensitivity
Teaching that style of word-play
I am teaching my style of wordplay
We got the words they
We have the words they don't
Regardless of what your friends say
No matter what your friends tell you
They're all disable
They are incapable of matching our skills
Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
Their words won't even make it onto the record and will be dismissed
And this long arm of the law grabs a mightier
My strong rap skills overpower the competition
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
Come up with great lines and worry about the details later
The sentence of this live litigator
I am delivering a powerful statement through my rap
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
I am ending this argument decisively and with finality
Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
Transcribing the legal jargon to be studied again
Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
Let your lawyers try to negotiate a plea deal
But when you read back verbatim
When you read it back exactly as it was said
What they're saying to persuade them
You can see through their arguments and what they're trying to accomplish
They realize exactly how I've played them
They understand that I have outsmarted them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
Everything I say is the complete and honest truth
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as in' with lies will
The truth can be just as painful as being lied to
I brew skill with free fills from now until
I am continuously developing my rap skills
Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled
Other rappers who copy my style have their skills watered down
Baby I don't die without you by my side
I don't physically perish without you, but I feel lost and alone
As long as you return into these arms that burn
I will be waiting for you with open arms, even if it hurts
Baby I won't die just take a look inside
I won't actually die, but I will feel like a part of me is missing
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn
Look into my passionate eyes and come back to my loving embrace
I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't actually die if you leave me, but I will feel lost and alone
