5:20Yo, yo Prince? Yo, what up 6 Where that beat it, man? It's right here (come on) Yeah, yeah, that's the one bro, that's the one Check this? (What's that?) I'm gon' spit this one at my people, you know? (Oh yeah) And I'm probably gonna strike a sensitive nerve in y'all 'Cause I only speak the truth (yeah, I know) And as you all know, the truth hurts I feel the need to reveal what our folks would not Reach our youth on the streets with this cultural shock Too many times I've appealed but you told me to stop So now I turn it up a notch in your audio box, watch? I've been advised as a child of course Not to question my folks or to voice my thoughts Either follow the rules keep your sentences short Or you'll be first on the floor taken down with the force Now, any done wondered that our children have grown More fond of the streets disappeared from home Like we raising soldiers and treating them cold Seeing a brother show affection is a definite no, you feel me? Don't get me wrong 'cause I'm proud of my roots It don't mean it's all good though it's killing our youth, look? Don't mean to judge you I'm telling the truth Yo, I ain't perfect people neither are you, you I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts Don't gamble your dough, bigger damage you bro Become a habit to the soul, send your family broke Trust me I've been there seen them gradually choke I'm 1 of 7 in a family that managed to cope, you know? Don't be deceived by the Jesus freaks They do the same always claiming they need your fee's, it's greed I don't believe what these creatures speak They're like thieves, they don't give a damn who feed your seeds, you see? Most you peeps keep twisting the beats 'Cause they're mixing tradition with religious beliefs, see? Money and faith make destructible fate Open your eyes, realize it's corrupting our ways, okay? I know you won't ever like my views I'm responsible for the P.O.V's of the youth? Look Don't mean to judge you on speaking the truth Yo, I ain't perfect people neither are you, you I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts Yeah I'm entitled to my own opinion, right? I ain't ashamed of the way that they raised me up I represented to the end when my days are up I don't fail to see when our ways are corrupt So I'ma spray it to 'em, straighten them up, come on Most your folks need to know that there's nothing in life Worse than a child cursed in the public eye Communication, don't be throwing a fit A calm word's more effective than a blow with the stick I think it's a shame how a church divides 'Cause the committee and members cannot compromise Realize the demise of our youth arise From the actions in life we expose to our child Analyze the pros and the cons of our ways The superstitions, traditions that's choking our faith But you're too stubborn to admit your wrongs to the youth Yo, I ain't perfect people neither are you, you I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts I said it all in a few words And I speak through the truth, never rumours You heard every verse full of true verbs I ain't here to cause trouble for the humour The truth hurts We did it again, baby That's why we're letting you know 6 Pound, yes We're speaking the truth All you other cats talking all that bull ish and crap You need to relax Man, it's just music
