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 |
