Truth & Lies |
| A child is born with no state of mind |
| Blind to the ways of mankind |
| But I can’t find the words that properly describes |
| The problems that arise |
| So I gotta decide to either |
| Keep it bottled inside or swallow my pride |
| But I got God on my side I’m a follow his guide |
| So I got down on my knees, apologized |
| For all the times my son looked in his fathers eyes |
| And saw the lies and ali |
| Next day to my surprise when I woke at sunrise |
| I saw my son rise right next to me |
| Put his hands on my head and said to me |
| In a voice best described as heavenly |
| The truth shall set you free |
| Stop letting me walk around with blindness on |
| I’m relying on you to teach me right from wrong |
| 'Cause one day I’ll be gone, won’t be a child for long |
| You’ve found your words, now go write your song |
| Who, what, when, where, why? |
| How do I find which way to reply? |
| Ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies |
| Surprise, the truth’s right in front of your eyes |
| Riddle me this |
| You see a man slitting his wrists |
| And he’s rich |
| Beautiful women wanna give him a kiss |
| He was given a gift but it wasn’t something he wished |
| He’d rather throw it all away for some ignorant bliss |
| To exist or not to exist? |
| That’s a question I try to resist |
| Deep like a bottomless pit |
| So I swallow my pride and follow my wits |
| My motto is this, hold your head high |
| You could call it a risk |
| But if I can’t live on my feet I’ll die on my knees |
| Sowing the seeds of the struggle |
| I gotta be free or better yet I gotta be me |
| I gotta believe that if the truth is a lie |
| Then knowledge is key |
| So yo, gimme the question and let me dissect it |
| My questions are deeper than my jealousy’s best diss |
| An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind |
| I gotta find what I seek or I’ll never respond |
| Who, what, when, where, why? |
| How do I find which way to reply? |
| Ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies |
| Surprise, the truth’s right in front of your eyes |
| We’ve been lied to, we got reparations due |
| While you’re at it, where’s our 40 acres too? |
| Save the mule? |
| In fact you can save the bull |
| Why should we believe anything you say is true? |
| Been waiting too long man, them days are through |
| We no longer cater to red, white & blue |
| I posed those same questions to you-know-who |
| He said, «Ask not what your country can do for you» |
| I said well when exactly you gonna do for us too |
| And where will we be when it finally comes through |
| Forget it, I don’t know why I’m asking you |
| You stole our ballots too we know how you do |
| The proud and few, we never ever doubted you |
| Until we found out how your accountants |
| Grew fat from laying us flat, taking the rap obeying your crap |
| Seeing the real reason that we’re breaking our backs |
| And yo, we wanna know why the leaders are gone |
| People can die, corporations treat us as pawns |
| You can see that it’s wrong but you let them lead us along |
| They’re the same corporations that you need to be strong |
| And I know that it’s a game, truth is I shoulder the blame |
| I’m just another con artist making a claim |
| I know I need more than my words working for change |
| It makes me frustrated that I’m seeking personal gain but tell me |
| Who, what, when, where, why? |
| How do I find which way to reply? |
| Ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies |
| Surprise, the truth’s right in front of your eyes |
