Mark Battles - The Truth Lyrics
I came to tell 'em the truthAnd the truth hurtsShe said "do what you're supposed to, and never let 'em fold you"Momma was a thug, I was raised by a soldierThe purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holsterSaid "let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast 'em"Ghost 'em, sleep tight ain't never what it seem likeWanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fightsWalking home at night they smoking meth by the streetlightsHad to check some nigga cause they thought I was the weak typeSee heights that they never thought I could reachWord games and flashcards so my daughters can speakCause she 'bout to turn 5 and she can't say a wordSince she's not autistic all these doctors getting on my nervesConsistent with my urge until I get what I deserveKilling all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purgeTongue tricking while I drive, baby please don't make me swerveShe only interested for benefits will I ever learnI came to tell 'em the truthAnd the truth hurtsI'm here to tell you the truthI just hope it worksI came to tell 'em the truthAnd the truth hurtsI'm here to tell you the truthI just hope it worksI grew up with screw ups but I ain't really do muchHit the park and see who wanna battle for a few bucksAnybody want it, they can get it, come get chewed upDon't make me have to pull your card and bag you like a school lunchWho us, what you mean? You witnessing a couple kingsBring my team to chase the dream I'm tryna do my thingGoing hard while you sleep as a man I'm completeSo at times I take it deep, before I hit the booth I tend to pray for every beatCause momma always said bless your food before you eatAnd I'mma feast, yeah I'mma feastStruggle can make you weak I used to cry myself to sleepReally was broke as hell, my babymomma called me cheapCause I never let her see me down I kept it so discreteBringing hope to the hopeless, repairs for the brokenAware that I was chosen, I swear I'll stay focusedI came to tell 'em the truthAnd the truth hurtsI'm here to tell you the truthI just hope it worksI came to tell 'em the truthAnd the truth hurtsI'm here to tell you the truthI just hope it works
