Horrorshow - Truth Be Told lyrics
[Horrorshow - Truth Be Told lyrics]
Said I'm a night owl
Fly above the city after lights out
'Cause my thoughts are clearest when
The noise dies down
So while you sleep I'm up late
Workin' on my escape plan
So take my hand 'cause we leavin' right now
And you can march with me
Or you can move aside
Whether you a true droogie or
You just cruisin' by forget the do or die
Just loosen your suit and tie
They too concerned with being cool
I'm concerned with losin' mine
Hear the stomach rumble
It's running on empty
But still I break bread with
Those who trespass against me
'Cause even angels tell lies
On their bad days
Tryna navigate a world that's man made
But the aforementioned characters who
Inhabit my shoulder blades
Are both claimin' they know the way
Fuckin' with my pokerface
But, I'm feelin' like a pimp so
I'm gonna brush 'em off
Look 'em in the eyes when
I tell 'em straight, "Welcome overstayed"
"Trust be told" "Trust be told"
"Trust be told"
Let no man be afraid to speak his part
But let it come from the heart and the soul
An alibi's just a lie in the absence of proof
Above all, let the truth be told
Same crews, same songs
But there's been a name change
From today on you can call me Mr Gameface
'Cause, I got my game face on
Me and Adit came back to give
The Grey Space a paint job
And we ain't cut from the same cloth
My hat perched on a double crown
'cause I'm twice the king
Steady tryna build a kingdom out
Of rhythm and rhyme
We on your porch bangin' on your front
Door till you invite us in
Truth be told I'm a stoned out scatterbrain
But, I never smoked a cigarette
'Cause if I did then I'd probably
Smoke a pack a day
And that's a lot to pay for
A little bit of death
See, truth be told I'm just doin' my best
But regardless, I'ma stick to my guns
So listen up while I get this
Stuff off of my chest 'Cause honestly, yo
My conscious weighs a tonne
"Trust be told" "Trust be told"
"Trust be told"
Let no man be afraid to speak his part
But let it come from the heart and the soul
An alibi's just a lie in the absence of proof
Above all, let the truth be told
So now we move like comets
Round this planet of rock
Collidin' off one another till
We finally stop sign of the times
If motherfuckers put they mind in they rhymes
Then they might find that they
Could write some like mine
Or, better yet, like yours
'Cause there ain't nothing stopping you
From pennin' your thoughts
You see, kids get bored, kids kill time
So as long as there's kids on this planet
Kids will rhyme
So tell me how you gonna earn your stripes
'Cause, I'm tryna get mine with just
Some words and a mic and we on target
Songs sparkin' chain reactions
Across the neighbourhood like the
Sound of dogs barking
And I send these words to be
There with you when I can't
In your pocket on your iPod, wherever you are
Let the truth be told up in your ear
From around the corner to around
The globe in both hemispheres
"Trust be told" "Trust be told"
"Trust be told"
Fly above the city after lights out
'Cause my thoughts are clearest when
The noise dies down
So while you sleep I'm up late
Workin' on my escape plan
So take my hand 'cause we leavin' right now
And you can march with me
Or you can move aside
Whether you a true droogie or
You just cruisin' by forget the do or die
Just loosen your suit and tie
