The Truth

Ste right up, take a ringside seat bro

At the Hip-Hop big top, midnight freak show

Where kids fiend rap dreams that seem majestic

Line up at the Zoltar machine to get Big

And walk with giants who shake up the system

But behind the carnival curtain seet he makeup magicians

Wake up and listen, hear what's not for the public's ears

Pinocchio poets played by profiting puppeteers

Talent sharks want blood, rappers hook them with the Gat Talk

See a full fashion show, just look at the catwalk

Corporate snaes, boardroom fellas

Clowns that rap about their wealth are the fortune tellers

From fire flow breathers, come and witness the illuminance

To one hit wonder disappearing industry illusionists

Ringleaders with whips, quick, the 15 minute fuse is lit

My poems paint movie script imagery that's ludicrous

From Portland basements where the rapping is real

To sunset beat boxing in the African hills

I creep with a pack of dreamers who are deep in the mountain

The wildcat trampoolinists who are keeping you bouncing

Under the circus my thoughts design the sound effects

Jonathan Cash who Walks The Line without net

Before judging me know that I hustle, I work

If I sold to someone you knowl try judging them first

It's like that till the day I lie under the dirt

I speak truth and shouldn't have to rhyme once in a verse

The proof is hidden right under my words

But to hear it you got to buy some of merch

Come get it, we go getters, this cold business

Is the reason me and my homies don't kick it and have grown distant

Record labels and gold diggers, there's no difference

They're both bitches only out for their own interests

I'm just another guy that's rapping

To justify my action while you run it by your captain

What has this even come to

You see the end result but don't see the hoops you feel the need to jump through

Don't let my speech corrupt you

Ignore the wrong and see the right this is leading up to

This ship's been sunk in an industry of distate and mistrust

I rip stage till your ribcage lifts up

Trying to blow but the grenade pins stuck

Unrightfully so I'm a young likeness of dope

To the millions in the scene who try to build it

But look like little children bewildered by the king

I turn my back to them but I'm guiltess

How long I got to milk this before I gain fulfilment of the dream

Look Look
