Mark Battles - The Truth Lyrics






I came to tell 'em the truth
And the truth hurts

She said "do what you're supposed to, and never let 'em fold you"
Momma was a thug, I was raised by a soldier
The purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holster
Said "let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast 'em"
Ghost 'em, sleep tight ain't never what it seem like
Wanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fights
Walking home at night they smoking meth by the streetlights
Had to check some niggas cause they thought I was the weak type
See heights that they never thought I could reach
Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak
Cause she 'bout to turn 5 but she can't say a word
Since she's not autistic all these doctors getting on my nerves
Consistent with my urge until I get what I deserve
Killing all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purge
Tongue tricking while I drive, baby please don't make me swerve
She only interested for benefits will I ever learn

I came to tell 'em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works
I came to tell 'em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works

I grew up with screw ups but I ain't really do much
Hit the park and see who wanna battle for a few bucks
Anybody want it, they can get it, come get chewed up
Don't make me have to pull your card and bag you like a school lunch
Who us, what you mean? You witnessing a couple kings
Bring my team to chase the dream I'm tryna do my thing
Right, going hard while you sleep, as a man I'm incomplete
So at times I take it deep, before I hit the booth I tend to pray for every beat
Cause momma always said bless your food before you eat
And I'mma feast, yeah I'mma feast
Struggle can make you weak I used to cry myself to sleep
Really was broke as hell, my babymomma called me cheap
Cause I never let her see me down I kept it so discrete
Bringing hope to the hopeless, repairs for the broken
Aware that I was chosen, I swear I'll stay focused

I came to tell 'em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works
I came to tell 'em the truth
And the truth hurts
I'm here to tell you the truth
I just hope it works

    I came to tell 'em the truth
    And the truth hurts

    [Verse 1]
    She said "do what you're supposed to, and never let 'em fold you"
    Momma was a thug, I was raised by a soldier
    The purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holster
    Said "let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast 'em"
    Ghost 'em, sleep tight ain't never what it seem like
    Wanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fights
    Walking home at night they smoking meth by the streetlights
    Had to check some niggas cause they thought I was the weak type
    See heights that they never thought I could reach
    Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak
    Cause she 'bout to turn 5 but she can't say a word
    Since she's not autistic all these doctors getting on my nerves
    Consistent with my urge until I get what i deserve
    Killing all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purge
    Tongue tricking while I drive, baby please don't make me swerve
    She only interested for benefits will I ever learn

    [Hook]
    I came to tell 'em the truth
    And the truth hurts
    I'm here to tell you the truth
    I just hope it works
    I came to tell 'em the truth
    And the truth hurts
    I'm here to tell you the truth
    I just hope it works


    Verse 2]
    I grew up with screw ups but I ain't really do much
    Hit the park and see who wanna battle for a few bucks
    Anybody want it, they can get it, come get chewed up
    Don't make me have to pull your card and bag you like a school lunch
    Who us, what you mean? You witnessing a couple kings
    Bring my team to chase the dream I'm tryna do my thing
    Right, going hard while you sleep, as a man I'm incomplete

    Aware that I was chosen, I swear I'll stay focused
