Truth

[Chorus: Nas sample] Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two [Verse 1] Ayo, I seen it all from what the truth should be, to what the truth is As we evolve from what we used to be onto some new shit Rewrite the blueprint, with true grit Students of moving bricks and full clips or otherwise we just threw fists Been breaking bad, ever since before I became a dad Or made it in rap, in truth, I still cater to that Root for the villain getting paid in full, spraying the gat On the roof of my building, getting brain, taking it back I was that projects professor A white kid digesting Five Percenter lessons, I copped from the brother selling incense Extensively, studied Rakim and other MCs Eventually, discovered I spit, rather intensely Now here I am, speaking to everybody that be listening The hardcore hip-hop with heart, like nitroglycerin The type of rap you feel in your cardiac That grimy, Illmatical boom bap, mathematical Goon Rap [Chorus: Nas sample] Uh Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Uh [Verse 2] Ayo, I rise and laugh at the lies, analyzin' the science of things In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king The path of the divine crash into gunfire over brimstone Adapt to survive, the spilled blood dries when the wind blows Look to the past, see your future starin' back at you Holdin' a gat, holdin' you back, and bearing ample fruit and opportunity Get in where the fuck you fit in with unity We stand tall, what the fuck (Uh) could you do to the assault literary? Slaughtercult military Necronomicon don, occult visionary Conspiracy host behold secret mystery scrolls Seen black Satanic lesbian titties explode Fuck livin' on your knees, I'd rather die on my feet Rise in the street, fist fights with riot police These lines I wrote potent like lines of coke A kaleidoscope of the violent prone That's just me on the beat by Pete Rock 'n Roll! [Chorus: Nas sample] Uh Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Uh [Verse 3] The excellence and inspiration of truth, is the pursuit It's like an exercise for the mind like a nine when it shoot Testify with lies implied beside a mountain of proof Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, many have died for the fruit Organic and natural, harvested from off the vine Of verified indisputable factual and actual The only sure thing in life is death, shooters and bricks Coca pure, sniff white, respect Lucifer's gift Death is only the beginning, heads exploding and spinning Like The Exorcist possession, unholy and grinning Tell 'em welcome to Hell, enter the ceremony of winning Where I'm from sharks fly and the vultures are swimming (Uh) The truth is gang raped while the world watches in horror If I compulsively tape a flick, cats will watch it tomorrow high Shoot it like Columbine, edit it and upload it In YouTube and online for derelicts and cutthroats! [Chorus: Nas sample] Uh Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Check one-two, one-two Uh
