Moment Of Truth |
No matta wat we fyace |
We mus face de moment of trut baybe |
Chorus: Guru |
They say it’s lonely at the top, in whatever you do You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you |
Nobody’s invincible, no plan is foolproof |
We all must meet our moment of truth |
Verse One: Guru |
The same sheisty cats that you hang with, and do your thang with |
could set you up and wet you up, nigga peep the language |
It’s universal, you play with fire it may hurt you |
or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through |
Let’s face facts, although MC’s lace tracks |
it doesn’t mean behind the scenes there ain’t no dirt to trace back |
That goes for all of us, there ain’t nobody to trust |
It’s like sabotage, it’s got me ready to bust |
But I can’t jeapordize, what I have done up to this point |
So I’ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint |
Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we’ll die |
You know I be the masterof the who what where and why |
See when you’re shinin, some chumps’ll wanna dull ya Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull ya down, just like some shellfish in a bucket |
cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm |
But just as you’ll receive what is comin to you |
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too |
I ain’t no saint, therefore I cannot dispute |
That everyone must meet their moment of truth |
Chorus: Guru |
Actions have reactions, don’t be quick to judge |
You may not know the harships people don’t speak of It’s best to step back, and observe with couth |
For we all must meet our moment of truth |
Verse Two: Guru |
Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near |
Don’t fear things get severe for everybody everywhere |
Why do bad things happen, to good people? |
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil |
The situation that I’m facin, is mad amazin |
to think such problems can arise from minor confrontations |
Now I’m contemplatin in my bedroom pacin |
Dark clouds over my head, my heart’s racin |
Suicide? |
Nah, I’m not a foolish guy |
Don’t even feel like drinking, or even gettin high |
Cause all that’s gonna do really, is accelerate |
the anxieties that I wish I could alleviate |
But wait, I’ve been through a whole lot of other shit, before |
So I oughta be able, to withstand some more |
But I’m sweatin though, my eyes are turnin red and yo |
I’m ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind |
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine |
My only crime, was that I’m too damn kind |
And now some skanless motherfuckers wanna take what’s mine |
But they can’t take the respect, that I’ve earned in my lifetime |
And you know they’ll never stop the furious force of my rhymes |
So like they say, every dog has it’s day |
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way |
So I pray, remembering the days of my youth |
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth |
(«You should know the truth |
And the truth shall set you free"-→from _Who's Gonna Take the Weight?_) |
Verse Three: Guru |
Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start |
Another one, is pointed at your weak ass heart |
Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines |
You’re gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes |
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters |
Yeah the bitin triflin niggaz, and the studio pranksters |
Yo lookin at the situation plainly: will you remain G? |
Or will you be looked upon strangely? |
I reign as the articulator, with the greater data |
Revolvin on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam |
While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphots |
I explore more, to expose the core |
A lot of MC’s, act stupid to me And we have yet to see, if they can match our longevity |
But anyway it’s just another day |
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac’rap display |
Styles, smooth but rugged -- you can’t push or shove it You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it The king of monotone, with my own throne |
Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones |
Stormin your hideout, blockin out your sunlight |
Your image and your business, were truly not done right |
Throw up your he-Allah-I now, divine saviors |
You got no hand skills there’s no security to save ya No pager, no celly, no drop top Benz-y |
I came to bring your phone hip-hop, to an ending |
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse |
Cause you must meet your moment of truth |
First Chorus |
