The Truth Lyrics & Tabs by Mark Battles
The Truth
guitar chords lyrics
I came to tell 'em the truth
And the truth hurts
()
She said 'do what you're supposed to, and neva let em fold you'
Mama was a thug, I was raised by a soldier
The purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holster
Said 'let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast em'
Ghost em, sleep tight ain't neva what it seem like
Wanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fights
Walkin' home at night they smokin' meth by the streetlights
Had to check some nigga cuz they thought I was the weak type
See heights that they neva thought I could reach
Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak
Cuz she about to turn five and she can't say a word
Since she's not autistic all these doctors gettin' on my nerves
Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak
Cuz she about to turn five and she can't say a word
Since she's not autistic all these doctors gettin' on my nerves
Consistent with my urge until I get what I deserve
Killin' all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purge
Tongue trickin' while I drive, baby please don't make me swerve
She only interested for benefits will I eva learn?

I came to tell em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works
I came to tell em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works

I grew up with screw ups but I ain't really do much
Hit the park and see who wanna battle for a few bucks
Anybody want it, they can get it, come get chewed up
Don't make me have to pull your card and bag you like a school lunch
Who us, what you mean? You witnessin' a couple kings
Bring my team to chase the dream I'm trying to do my thing
Goin' hard while you sleep as a man I'm complete
So at times I take it deep, before I hit the booth I tend to pray for every beat
Cuz mama always said bless your food before you eat
And I'mma feast, yeah I'mma feast
Struggle can make you weak I used to cry myself to sleep
Really was broke as hell, my baby mama called me creep
Cuz I neva let 'er see me down I kept it so discrete
Bringin' hope to the hopeless, repairs for the broken
Aware that I was chosen, I swear I'll stay focused
I came to tell em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works
I came to tell em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works
