[Aasim, Fat Joe - Truth lyrics]
Yeah truth, nigga yeah, uh, let's go
Y'all niggas need to stop frontin'
Yeah, uh, it's good coke
Uh, Aasim, what's up, nigga? Uh
Even if you gangsta, nigga
Real gangstas move in silence, nigga, haha
Ah man yeah, listen
Biatch, what
Listen dope man, dope man, I'm really dope
Man broke man
Truth is like a drought to the coke man
It's hurts like a stroke
Can't escape it 'til you ghost
Plan A failed twice, shopped
My demo, get away, and blow up
Like the post man, most men fail
The truth is, I ain't most man
Aas' don't bail
Instead, I put the folk on blast
The ones the hit the snooze button
On me and stayеd awake for that other trash
Actin' like thеy can't get they cover blown
Reverse image it's time I be
The critic this time
I see the industry and raise it some truth
Sign a deal, sell your soul away
And get in the booth
Make a album that don't sell
And watch how fast
You go from bein' the future to
The thing of the past
Stop frontin' like your gun is gon' blast
Like you Planet of the Apes
And your heart pumpin' V8 Splash
Now what's truth?
Truth is when you broke and
You grind for the loot
Truth is when you either on the
Block or in the booth
Truth is when your life ain't shit
Record label only want that hit
One mo' time what's truth?
Truth is when you know your
Gun's never gon' shoot
Truth is when you see the
Thug life ain't for you
Truth is when you look at the game
And you see how bad thangs done changed
Uh, they say the truth shall set you free
I think not
'Cause niggas be ignorin' the Squad
Like we ain't hot
Like we ain't got the Bronx on lock
And like Pun wasn't as nice as Biggie and Pac
(what the fuck?)
Shame on this game for makin' false promises
Niggas yell, "They ready for war
" more like hostages trapped in they homes
Only without police protection
But a beef on beast
Like they squeezin' weapons
We be the truth, bear witness to that
Niggas say they sittin' on money
We sittin' on gats niggas wanna get cute
Start shittin' on crack
I could give you few hit's but
You gon' visit a MAC
And it won't be nothin' happy about it
A bunch of grown men screamin' and cryin'
Holdin' on to they spouses
And I ain't wanna leave his
Face in the pavement
But, I gave him ample enough
Time to retract them statements
Now what's truth?
Truth is when you broke and
You grind for the loot
Truth is when you either on the
Block or in the booth
Truth is when your life ain't shit
Record label only want that hit
One mo' time what's truth?
Truth is when you know your
Gun's never gon' shoot
Truth is when you see the
Thug life ain't for you
Truth is when you look at the game
