Slaughterhouse - Truth Or Truth, Pt. 1 lyrics

Yeah yeah
Nickel turn the beat up a bit
Yeah yeah

I'm stressed out so much I'm like
"Why stress it?"
Am I selfish for asking myself, "Would
You rather count money or count blessings?"
Now that's a wild question
Fame turned my life upside down
I guess it was meant to be
Like passing Beyoncé a Tic Tac
And that ain't a diss
This way more to me than a diss track
Jay-Z is God to me nas is God to me
Eminem is like BIG and Pac to me
And if you disagree I
Hope you bleed hypocrisy
And this'll be the realest shit I ever wrote
Shoutout to all the crazy bitches
I've been involved with


Thank y'all for making my wife a
Crazier bitch than y'all bitches
Y'all might've lost me, but y'all win
And this'll be the realest shit I ever wrote
Now let's talk about the BET Awards
When Kanye went to the podium for the win
And mentioned everyone in the same category
As him but me and Em
He said they motivated him and normally that
Would be ammo to hate on him
But that ain't my MO!
My MO is to be mo' motivatin'
This new-wave culture is so cultivatin'
Where the fuck do I fit in?
And this'll be the realest shit I ever wrote
I've succumb so much to this
Game I feel sorrow
I answer more questions about the
40 and Game squabble
Than I answer questions that I ask myself
"Are you a good father?"
The answer's, "Well fuck this
Royce got a game tomorrow"
I ain't gotta spell out the offers
If being famous means speaking
To people in offices
Over being there for your sons and daughters
I'm off this i know the last couple of lines
Kinda fell out of the pocket
But I don't give a fuck!
Let me tell you this:
When was the last time you copped some shit
Where it actually came out of your pocket?
Answer that! If I got to
Answer questions from you
You got to answer questions from me!
I'm fucking my whole life up for you
Answer this question:
"What the fuck are you doing for me?"
Answer that! Still I love my fans
Even though y'all looking at me like
I'm just a drunk nigga
That's just throwing up behind
Shit, blowing up
But nigga I ain't throwing up
Shit but my hands
And this is just me growing up
Courtney Artesia, Kino and Vish
Please support me I need ya
But in reality an artist is supposed
To be supported by easels
But in the meanwhile
I'm just supported by evil

I'm no longer fuckin' amused
I mean I addressed this shit
On "Cut You Loose"
How long am I supposed to stick
Around for this fuckin' abuse?
Every time I go to leave
I figure "fuck is the use?"
I endure it for the true
Fans that covet that new
Or is that just another fuckin' excuse?
Do I do it for attention cause I crave
It, I won't mention it, i'll save it
If you know me than you
Know a nigga treasure anonymity
Nigga thought that as a man
You must be kiddin' me
And I'm starting to feel like my
Fans are now condemning me
Listen, I don't owe y'all shit
Same Joe I am today is the same Joe y'all get
Y'all will interrupt a nigga while he
At his place of worship
And think that came along with
Your 20 dollar purchase
You bought the music
Not the nigga that made it
But let me touch up on
That nigga that made it
If you're judging me on actions then
I'll take that L every time
If you conclude "Joe Budden
Is a corny mah'fucker"
Cause all it mean if I'm a corny mah'fucker
Is the greatest rapper ever's
Just a corny mah'fucker
My bad, I'm not as street as you
But all this time I was being me
Not being you i get behind that mic
Let all my demons through
Without knowing shit about the people
That I'm speaking to
Add that to me not seeing a reason to
And that says a lot in
A room full of silence, listen
At 21 I had a drug problem
At 31 still drugs is a problem
But the thing about that pill
Is it made everything real
And I felt I needed to see
Funny thing about it all
I ain't like what I saw
Now the Lord's voice is in my head like
"You'll be DEAD soon for questioning me"
Another lesson for me
Far greater than whatever I profess it to be
Cause if left to me
I'd put our eyes in our brains
We'd over-think what we see and
Our whole lives would change
But fuck it, that day had to come
Who ever knew that I would have a son?
I coulda guessed it
I was fuckin' like a rabbit
But I never saw him handle
Scoliosis like his dad did
Never knew me and Ronnie would talk again
Fuck a rhyme
I'm just happy that we talk again
Who knew that the second I acknowledged you
You would get terminally ill
Be in the hospital
The thought of you leaving is
What fucks with me
I'm scared to death of getting full custody
Nigga, I look in the mirror disgustedly
So how am I supposed to feel the
Day that he looks up to me?
I always said you were the worst baby-mother
I had ex-girl confused with baby-mother
And there lies my problem with our Creator
All the times I wanted her black ass dead
You wouldn't take her
Don't do it now, I need her
Understand, it don't get no realer
See how I go to bed with
Thoughts of a damn killer
But rather show y'all my girl
Through these Instagram filters
Look at her, don't look at me
Cause if y'all judging
Y'all would throw the book at me
Speakin' of shorty, nah
I'll do that in private
It might be a little soon for me
To let her know how I get
Shit, and now we right back at one
Real quick, let me get back to my son
When a nigga was like… he said "Dad
I'm weird… but I don't have
A problem with that"
And I was like… I laughed, and I was like
"Well, number 1
Why do you think you're weird and number 2
Why don't you have a problem with that?"
And he looked me in my eyes and he was like
"Well, I say I'm weird, number 1
Because I know I'm weird
And I don't have a problem
With it because that's me
And whoever don't like it
They don't have to be around me
I'm comfortable with me and who I am"
And right there, that was cold
In my head I thought "That was bold"
Illest shit about it all
Said that at 10 years-old
So I could die right now
I could die right now and feel like he
Got the most important part of Joe
Or better than that
I could die right now and feel like
He know all he need to know joey
Royce, what up
Last night we cried tears of joy
This morning they were still there
What's handicap without the wheelchair
That's what we are, but fuck it
We'll be the sacrificial lamb
For y'all niggas hate it or love it
Leave all of that, b, fuck it

Yeah, man
I kinda feel where my nigga was coming from
You know both my niggas, you know
Baby-mom was on WorldStar and shit you know
Talkin' 'bout I don't take care of my junior
Me and my nigga straight though
Yo, my little nigga rap
I just let it be, you know
Cause people get their feelings
Hurt over other shit
So I just let it go, you know
I ain't have no rebuttal
But uh… when you grew up fucked up
Nobody's perfect, you know
But I'm perfect for this
This rap shit, man… yeah
Eastside Long Beach: Atlantic avenue and Hill
Crooked was a youngster my
Ghetto attitude was real
Thumper in the waist in case I
Had to shoot to kill
Rocking dumb mics cause all I
Had was stupid skill
Eastsiders we cypher by the bus bench
Some sippin’ toca vodka
Others had the blunt pitched
A lot of them niggas died
Sweatshirt blood drenched
Others went to jail
They hit a lick and left thumbprints
Long beach I salute ya grind
Even though you think you I sold
Out you not saluting mine
I don’t come around much, I’m on music’s time
Lost and found I found when I’m
Broke I lose my mind
So I hustle like I’m on a hunger strike
Without a doubt when I cuff a mic
I leave a body count like the shotty’s out
Cause I’m from a group called slaughter
Rap better than everybody house
Now they think I’m in the game and stuntin’
But I’m like an orgasm man
I came from nothing
Some of you from the burbs
But you claim you wasn’t
So lame you struttin’
With a cain you frontin’ fuck all that
If I was born rich I would rhyme about it
I was born poor in a ditch
I’m rhyming tryna climb up out it
Tryna avoid a life of crime I’m ’bout it
Some say I’ll be fine without it
But I kinda doubt it
Death around the corner
Prison breathing down my neck
Chasing paper til a nigga
Wheezing out of breath
IRS wanna fuck me, I ain't even outta debt
Said they Young Buck me
Tryna squeeze me outta checks
Yeah, them fools tryna squeeze
Me outta checks
Don’t talk to Dominick unless you
Pay ya mommas rent
With marijuana sent outta town
Them dollars spent
My own fam wanna grab the steel and harm me
But I got the nuts to kill an army
Word to Killa army
Man all them killers adore me
BET red carpet, the steel was on me
To put a slug in my flesh
And blood wouldn’t feel good
Serena crip walking at the
Olympics I’m still hood
Still me, til my candle is blown
So many secrets I only told
To a glass of patron
Half of my fathers family
Died of cancer alone
He called me sick, I didn’t answer the phone
How does it feel to know
That your son doesn’t care
Cause you wasn’t there, life wasn’t fair
I look at steps in the wrong direction
Another stare yeah muthafucka yeah
I swear
Just the other muthafucking night dawg
Like niggas, niggas rolled in front of my
Studio on my kids life
Nah’mean, I ran through the fucking studio to
My office grabbed that 357 thang man
Came out waving, I’m bout to bust
The police pass by
My little brothers told me I needed to chill
Nah’mean, this is what I do man
This is the life I live for real dawg
This ain't no muthafuckin’ rap music
Just the other night I coulda
Killed a nigga man
Nah’mean, I wouldn’t be here
Rapping about this shit think about it man

My grandmom’s left me, father don’t exist
Baby moms stress me, my momma got a cyst
My older son love football and the
Little nigga hands is mean
But he chronic asthmatic so he
Fully suited on the
Sideline wishing he could be
In there but still cheering for his team
My youngest son got nerve issues
Sometimes he cry to me
I’m looking at him like it’s not you fault
You was conceived when daddy was such
A slave to his everyday anxiety
I worked at UPS for a week and
My boss ain't have to fire me
I wasn’t fit to lift boxes I quit
Don’t put me in that box when I spit
My life wasn’t too muthafucking fly for me
Wasn’t too muthafucking fly for me
From the lobby huffing and
Puffing running from robbery
To Crooked I, Royce Da 5’9″, Joe Budden
Homie from the Goodie Mob
And me carving artistry
Celebrating escaping poverty
Ashy knees and no socks
Chinese outta hocks but that
Was on the first, other than that
Liver works and government sent me my
Yellow cheese in a box
Ya’ll ain't have that yellow cheese in a box
Last night I cried tears of joy
But the other night I cried tears my boy
No longer here I can’t hear his voice
I guess upstairs they playing dealers choice
Popped a pill with Joe I’m
Sippin’ clear with Royce
Crook light a cigar nigga
My little homie just hit the pen
Went in a young adult and
Coming out a senior citizen
And them crackers just denied me
Fuck dawg I can’t even sneak a visit in
I ain't hustlin’ no more if y’all listening
Ya’ll niggas only get the music man
Ya’ll don't know what be going on
With a nigga day to day
I mean shit I ain't complaining or nothing
Like a nigga stand on his own
Two and hold it down
But it’s realer than you think nigga
You think I give a fuck about a rap list
I just left my condo
Hopped up in my car I’m on
My way to fuck an actress
I don’t need y’all to remind me
Bout my pen and pad gift
And how my ad-libs subtract your wack spit
Multiply my visit's to Chase divide mad
Chips among 3 other niggas who spazz quick
Nah nigga this ain't no rap clique
This is a muthafucking takeover
I want another Range Rover
I got such a hangover celebrating the
Fact my mother became sober
My uncle fading from that needle though
Found out he fully blown a couple weeks ago
My aunt tested negative but
It’s the same result
Cuz she gon die on the same
Day he stop breathing yo
To know me ain't to love me
Nah, to know me is to know me
Cause you ain't got to like me
But respect that I ain't phony
Not a nominee for Tony’s or
Oscars for my uh bologna
What you see is what you get
Hope you getting what you see cause
What you seeing is a threat
Come at me with indirect’s
I ain't gon write a song about you
I’mma knee you in your neck
And then write a song about how I
Just beat you half to death
Don’t play with my little niggas
I’m just a grown ass man tryna feed my
Family through the talent God gave me
Honestly I don’t care if you hate me
But don’t fuck with my money
Anything else I say will be
Dry snitching on myself
How dumb would that be house gang
YAOWA!
