The Truth
~K~ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aye
Look
Since you boys wanna get a front row view
Grab your popcorn come be apart of the crew
Just make sure you check your ego
Side eyeing you like who is you
Cause where I'm from
Niggas gone try to see if you bulletproof

And this is my truth
Hold up, hold up, hold, up
I ain't gone lie
I used to have an ego problem
But I overcame I'm a problem solver
But when money involved
My ego turning sour
Pride turn to lawyers
Friends can't be resolved from court fees and lawsuits
Word as my bond I would never cross you
Or get unlawful
That would be awful
Expect to get hit with jaw full
You a shark I'm Moby D and I'm toting my harpoon
Hold up let me get right back after it
Since you boys wanna get a front row view
Grab your popcorn come be apart of the crew
Since you boys wanna

Since you boys wanna
Since you boys wanna get a front row view
