"The Silent Life Of A Truth" lyrics
Hit it
This is a story on how truth lives
Been layin' laws since Adam and his rib
Around the same time, La made a debut
And got evicted from the garden right beside the other two (Hit it)
Since then, you can find truth on a hush
Steady on pace, never move in a rush
Usually on a roll, he's traveled by menace
Where you always find a truth tucked away like a gem
Even though it doesn't come to raise eyelids
Parents will push the truth away from the kids
Then make sure fairy tales stay intact
Instead of blowin' to smithereens when truth speaks facts
Truth just sticks to the script
Givin' us an earful so we can speak it from our lips
Some can't accept this as real talk
'Cause lies they disguised as the truth, some walk (Hit it)
Before the truth puts on his pants to get dressed
A lie travels the whole world, makin' a mess
And if you sat down with a truth for a day
It will tell you how it lies, try to block what it say (Hit it)
Some will bring 'em both into the same house
Tellin' truth to the sidepiece while lying to the spouse
And the needle in the haystack hits truth in the gut
That traps intuition which wakes the spouse up
The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth)
The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth, shh)
Truth lay covered in calm
Your messengers was screaming out loud like alarms
It take up residence in books
That usually have covers that we shouldn't judge just off looks (Hit it)
Buried in our minds, nestled in our hearts
Even in our soul, truth lives in every part
So when you out lying, you know how it goes
Truth lookin' at you like Pinocchio's nose (Hit it)
Who dug a hole when they try to sound deep
Is a lying-ass nigga every time they speak
Youth and wisdom rarely get to meet
So a lie will dance in their eyes so sweet (Hit it)
Most won't eat to put in for the proof
And those who expose met a shooter on the roof
And just let a little bit of time go by
And the truth of what happened will get modified (Hit it)
Never held for ransom, they're always in a gag
By the one percent makin' sure the poor never has
Access to what truth sparks
So they complicit in the lies, keeping you in the dark (Hit it)
But stay vigilant because truth will
Dismantle the mantle of lies we build
Knock it all down to the ground
And amongst the rubble of falseness, what will be found?
The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth)
The silent life of a truth
The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth)
The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth)
The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth)
The silent life of a truth (Truth, hit it)
The silent life of a truth (Hit it)
Shh
Excuse me?
Ayo
That's better
Ayo, Preem, hit the beat
This is a story on how truth lives
Been layin' laws since Adam and his rib
Around the same time, La made a debut
And got evicted from the garden right beside the other two (Hit it)
Since then, you can find truth on a hush
Steady on pace, never move in a rush
Usually on a roll, he's traveled by menace
Where you always find a truth tucked away like a gem
Even though it doesn't come to raise eyelids
Parents will push the truth away from the kids
Then make sure fairy tales stay intact
Instead of blowin' to smithereens when truth speaks facts
Truth just sticks to the script
Givin' us an earful so we can speak it from our lips
Some can't accept this as real talk
'Cause lies they disguised as the truth, some walk (Hit it)
Before the truth puts on his pants to get dressed
A lie travels the whole world, makin' a mess
And if you sat down with a truth for a day
It will tell you how it lies, try to block what it say (Hit it)
Some will bring 'em both into the same house
Tellin' truth to the sidepiece while lying to the spouse
And the needle in the haystack hits truth in the gut

The silent life of a truth (Tell the truth, shh)
