KRS-One - The Truth Lyrics
It's not natural
If it goes against God
It's not factual
Her truth is not hard
It's not natural
It's not factual
Gimme the truth!
Listen to the lyric as the negative is shrinkin
It's shrinkin out your life when you decide to change your thinkin
One of the first things we gotta switch around of course
Is Jesus Christ, and him dying on the cross
You're looking at the cross, surrounded in it's mystery
With Jesus on the cross in a, total misery
Now seperate Jesus from the cross so you can see
The cross was created by the Roman government
It's only purpose and use, is cap-i-tal punishment
But Jesus Christ, was all about the revolution
While the cross was used as Jesus Christ's execution
See what if Jesus Christ, was hung upon a tree
Upon every church wall, that's exactly what you'd see
If Jesus Christ, was shot in the head with no respect
We'd all have little gold guns around our neck
If Jesus Christ was killed in electic chair, now get it
You'd be knealing to the electric chair with Jesus, still in it
You gaze upon the cross, and you see the execution
You yell stop the violence but the cross you're still using
It's not natural
If it goes against God
It's not factual
Her truth is not hard
It's not natural
If it goes against God
It's not factual
Gimme the truth!
So I say listen, listen, open up your third eye vision
God is not down with religion
Religion they be sellin it, listen up, God is intelligent
Reading of the bible is irrelevant
You gotta look within yourself, not a scripture
KRS-One comes to rearrange the God picture
If you sit and believe, you can acheive
If you sit and accept, you don't know, what's correct
or incorrect, take for instance Adam and Eve
The first two people on the planet, or so you believe
Their first time in heaven kids they had, Cain and Abel
Huh, now let me show you why the story's unstable
According to the story, according to what you believe
There was only Cain, Abel, Adam, and Eve
on the whole planet, now use your intellect
and tell me, what did Cain and Abel do for sex?
Upon the whole planet there was not another
Could it be for sex, heh, they were looking at each other?
Hold up! I thought the church wasn't into that
But wait, still yet, there is another fact
How did the world get populated?
Now tell me if I'm wrong, but obviously Eve had it goin on
Think for a minute, I know it gets notorious
But yo G, check out the chorus
It's not natural
If it goes against God
It's not factual
Her truth is not hard
It's not natural
If it goes against God
It's not factual
Gimme the truth!
[Rich Nice]
Yo yo...
Yo bring that back
I wanna say something on this BlastMaster session
Yo this is Rich Nice
You brothers gotta stop treating these hoes like nice girls
and these nice girls like hoes
[KRS-One]
True indeed, I'd like to welcome the rebirth of the Goddess
Word up it's all about knowledge of self
Yo Busta Rhymes, why don't you take the session over from here

One of the most powerful pieces of hip hop history. Blueprint of #staywoke!
so i say listen, listen
open your third eye vision

you gotta look within yourself
Not a scripture
Krs-One comes to rearrange the god picture
One consciousness <3
best fucking lyric EVER
Deep lyrics!
The Greatest MC Of All Time!
THIS IS A DEEP AND PROFOUND JOINT. KRS ONE REVEALS THE REAL TRUTH!! HE ALWAYS DROPS JEWELS!!
Nice beat but I disagree with the message except Jesus not dying on a cross ,Jesus died on a upright stake, tree, pole Stau-ro....2Timothy 3:16 state All scriptures are inspired by God...
but the cross is not a religious sybol....as he says its used for execution. ....so why the fuck do people pray to it and hang them on the wallls at home and wear gold ones round there necks .....because they are blind to the facts!!!
@Graeme Dixon because like you say people are blind the cross was made up by false religion for worship In the bible clearly says be careful with idolatry (Exodus 20:4,5)It's written God does not share his glory with graven images (Isaiah 42:8)..
zeitgeist is bullshit
Actually there is no real evidence that Jesus ever even existed
Aside form the biblical content..This song is incredible!
Lyrical masterpiece. !!!
A Genius
still sick
KRS One doesn't know what truth is. He thinks he is a god.
go kill yaw self rerard!!!
I love every millisecond of this and basically all songs this man puts out
thank u KRS
I wish it had the full ending
There is another version , under "original version". it's a couple minutes longer. Might be the one your referring to.
This is exactly why the industry of the present promote ignorant music, because rap is powerful. When combined with knowledge, people will inevitable wake up. This music right here is dangerous, because its the truth. There are still MCs out here folks who do rhyme about issues like this, but they will never shyne on mainstream again. Trinidad James said something that made a lot sense, even though I am not a huge fan of his music. He said **Conscious Hip-Hop** does not sell, he purposely rap about nonsense so he can eat. I can't fault a guy for that. Make your money. That just goes to show that the industry purposely shut down **Conscious Hip-Hop** . Thanks for sharing the music (Andre Jay)!
:Merciless~187. Word
:Merciless~187. speaking of that I watched a video yesterday talking about that its called "the secret meeting that changed hip hop"
if it goes against God :)
kneeling to the electric chair with Jesus still in it
what Jose Tapia needs to know is that KRS ONE is the Teacher, he doesnt need oyu to tell hima nything about the Bible. of which you clearly know nothing and have not read even once...
i agree. he seems to show understanding of this in some songs, but then i hear this... its a bit confusing. i like to think he is only speaking about the mainstream interpretation of the bible, which is a literal interpretation.
omg this is so epic
"You gotta look within yourself, not a scripture"
The truth right there. KRS One bringing that knowledge.
Beautiful Logical!
What you need to know is that caps lock doesn't make you right.
LOL SHUT UP the Catholic is Corrupt sorry
WHAT KRS NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE BIBLE IS A GIANT METAPHOR, FULL OF FABLES AND SYMBOLISM THAT TEACH US HOW TO LIVE & KNOW OUR ORIGINS
I'm diggin this tip.
Easily the best MC alive.... Probably the best MC of our time.
Songs like this are the reason why he is called the Teacha.
the 90's.
The other version on youtube has shit quality. Big up to this one!! KRS droppin' knowledge as usual. BEST MC ALIVE! No doubt.
The Blastmaster !!! Excellent Tune !!
was aryt like. Teckle!
think!
