Truth Is

Truth is, I don't really know about love
But I know that I've waited, chased it, I've made it
Truth is, every time I close my eyes
I can see all the places, faces, I've painted
Truth is, I don't really know about love
But I know that I've waited, chased it, I've made it
Truth is, every time I close my eyes
I can see all the places, faces, I've painted

Malcolm X autobiography gave me chills
Can't afford attorneys, niggas forced to take a deal
I need a home cooked meal, I been road runnin'
Everytime these niggas call they need to owe somethin'
It ain't no love lost but that ain't real love
I can feel the hatred but it's still love
The pain run deep, I be runnin' from it
Fell in love with the slums when I was just a youngin'
Niggas fallin' victim, I'ma overcome it
Young life lookin' up to me, I gotta show 'em somethin'
The loyalty don't exist, you had to told 'em somethin'
The feds told 'em they got him, he wouldn't want for nothin'
Yeah, the streets love me and I love 'em back
Die squeezin' at these suckas if it come to that
Truth is, that's truthfully what the truth is
I don't really know about love, I'm in this truth shit

Truth is, I don't really know about love
But I know that I've waited, chased it, I've made it
Truth is, every time I close my eyes
I can see all the places, faces, I've painted

I went to jail and she told me she gon' hold me down
My sister told me she fuckin' the lil homie now
I knew she wasn't shit 'cause when we met she had a nigga
What goes around comes around, I can't be mad nigga
Truth is I love the fam but I don't trust 'em though
The closest people always seem to hurt a nigga most
Snakes in the grass, keep it cut low
Every time I close my eyes I think of
Every time I close my eyes I hear them demons speakin' to me
Truth is, I don't really know about love
Could tell you everything about drugs
Fuck a middle man, I need a plug
Niggas show you fake love
Give you fake daps and fake hugs
Niggas only hang around you for the syrup
Had to get it out the mud
Late night, sold dimes for dubs
Truth is I don't know about love, my life is crazy baby

Truth is, I don't really know about love
But I know that I've waited, chased it, I've made it
Truth is, every time I close my eyes
I can see all the places, faces, I've painted

Truth is that I ain't really feelin' these niggas
Truth is when they snatched me I ain't mention my niggas
The truth is these hoes ain't loyal like they say they is
They gon' fuck and suck whoever they think got some chips
Truth is some of these hoes realer than your niggas
I tell the truth in all my raps, I'm really in these trenches
Truth is ain't have no handouts, I had to get it
They had money on my head then we dropped a hitman
The truth is I think them bitches watchin' granny crib
The truth is if I don't beat it I'm gon' do a bid
No matter the circumstances we gon' do it big
I can't fuck with new niggas, I don't care who they is

Truth is, I don't really know about love
But I know that I've waited, chased it, I've made it
Truth is, every time I close my eyes
I can see all the places, faces, I've painted
