The Truth

Go

Go to the mountain if you must

Go to the burning bush

If it would ease your troubled mind

I'll be prepared to stay behind?

I know you better than you think I do

Don't worry, dear, this is why I fell in love with you

The man in the looking glass

Is looking back at you at last

You can't hide from the truth

Because the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth

Because the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth

Because the truth is all there is

You can't hide

If happy times are too few and far between

It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen

So disappear, vanish if you wish

Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness

And the truth is you can't hide from the truth

And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is

I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go

May not be true to say that you'll return one day

But in your present state you may as well not be here at all

You wear a thin disguise it's from yourself you hide

Just take a look at us we are heading for a fall

Now presiding in this court of hip-hop, Justice, my rap forte

Judge, jury, bailiff or prosecuting D.A

Ceteris paribus, my modus operandi

Is carpe diem whether de facto or de jure, comprende?

The People vs you and your Sensei

Teaching that style of word-play, weaker than Wednesday

Regardless of what your friends say, they're all dissable

Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissible

While this long arm of the law grabs the mic to

Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later

The def sentence of this Live litigator

Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator

Stenographer are steady logging the jargon

That your counselors are barking, in hopes of a plea bargain

But when you read back verbatim, what they're saying to persuade them

They realize exactly how I've played them

I come with the truth, whole truth, and nothing but

'Cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin' with Live will

I brew skill with refills from now until

Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled

Baby I don't die without you by my side

As long as you return into these arms that burn

Baby I won't die just take a look inside

Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn

I won't die, if you leave me high

I won't die if you're not by my side

And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is

And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth, 'cause the truth is all there is

You can't hide from the truth
