Funny how the truth can walk up to you
Look you in the eyes and walk the other way
You can tear the world down if you live a lie down, down, down
The true and I are living, living, living every, everyday
Pay me cocksucker pay me
I can't fill my baby's belly with dreams
Elaborate schemes, got the kids ready for school
Without me having to wave the tool
It ain't enough though man it ain't enough bro
I got bills that stack up to my neck yo
My car overheating just like I'm overheating
I catch a mark and give him a few or five bloody beatings
Me and my clique hit the mall like a pack of hyenas
Clean 'em up then it's back to my man's beamer
I need a trip out of town with the homie Pablo
Dreams of Lamborghini Diablos
But I'm on a bus with a bunch of immigrants
Nobody on their job is legitimate
I keep killing shit, hard work will pay off
Everybody I know is getting laid off
ย
Funny how the truth can walk up to you
Look you in the eyes and walk the other way
You can tear the world down if you live a lie down, down, down
The true and I are living, living, living every, everyday
If the ends justify the means then I'm deemed
To hit the streets like I'm Idi Amin ya nahmean?
I followed all the rules, even waited my turn
Word to Keith and Lam, Shabaam, this shit is hard to earn
Not the one to complain, I know it takes time
But I'm looking at Barack like my nigga where's the change?
I'm looking at the streets and everything remains the same
Put my soul in my songs to get something out the game
Cause everybody's eating unless it's all a facade
Every video on 106 & Park is a mirage
Every night before my wife and I sleep, we pray to God
For the win, can't afford two L's like James Todd
Naw, my nigga something gotta give
I've been working like a slave just for me and mine to live
Hell yeah I deserve much better than what I'm getting
Cause for years I've been avoiding mad ears, nigga listen
Funny how the truth can walk up to you
Look you in the eyes and walk the other way
You can tear the world down if you live a lie down, down, down
The true and I are living, living, living every, everyday
They say we good now that Bush gone
I still ain't got a pot to piss in
Why the fuck should I trust me another politician?
Barack Obama, I don't know this cat
Wolf in sheep's clothing, think I don't notice that?
Think I don't notice how he chose rap
To back the propaganda and y'all fell for the trap
And that's what separates mice from men
And I ain't vote, so that gives me the right to vent
Middle finger to y'all if you thinking I'm wrong
Open your third eyes up and listen to the song
9/11 Was just the beginning
Bush knocked down the towers to change how we living
And now they giving billionaires billions
How does it make you feel when you can't feed your children?
It's chaotic, we need to rise up
If you ain't militant at least pay attention and wise up
Word
Funny how the truth can walk up to you
Look you in the eyes and walk the other way
You can tear the world down if you live a lie down, down, down
The true and I are living, living, living every, everyday
