Uncomfortable Truth

[Intro: Ace Hood]

That's called energy

It's understood without words

I love where I come from, I love where I'm goin'

I love where I've been

I appreciate it all, uh

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]

I prayed for this moment, thank you, Lord, I'm truly grateful

I'm doin' numbers I can't tell, I'm off them major labels

Stick to my truth and mind my business, that's my human nature

Soul saver, game changer, I'm the biggest stepper

Married man, business man, see, that's two different levels

Seven figures on the low, but I'm your humble servant

My kids straight, but I get hatred from the ones who birthed 'em

I ain't trippin', still tippin' with the gift of gab

My struggle deep, my spirit guides got me pickin' scabs

We livin' lav', me and wifey just been keepin' tabs

See, we got options, ain't no toxic, we remove the mask

I see you clear, I see your fear, I done been insecure, you feel that?

[Interlude: Benny the Butcher]

Yeah, Ace

It's me

The Butcher comin', nigga

Yeah

[Verse 2: Benny the Butcher]

I spent my teens pushin' weight rock-hard

I served clean at the streets, had to rate five stars

But I spent my twenties upstate, got charged

Starin' out my cell window, watchin' raindrops fall

Niggas put out wack shit, and y'all tell me I should be nervous?

That shit sound funny like Omarion in the Verzuz

How the feds get a nigga to rat and burden his kids

And the nigga he told on release date be earlier than his?

Uh, yeah, latex gloves when I boil dope

'Cause I ain't tryna get oil coke on this Royal Oak

Call us oldheads and ask do I find it annoying, no

'Cause the more you've been through, lil' nigga, the more you know, mm

[Interlude: Millyz]

The more you know

It's real shit, strong rule the weak

But the wise rule the strong (Ayy, Ace)

It's real anger (It's love)

Yeah, uh

[Verse 3: Millyz]

Photographic memory, paint a hustler picture vivid (I do)

It's glorified on the outside, but it's fucked up when you live it (Man)

Interrogation rooms with tough guys turned timid

Turned witnesses, switch on the whole gang like they was never in it

I never went to science class, but my role models was chemists

Hottest out, regardless, if they don't post it on Akademiks (It don't matter)

Learn to pitch without a mound, I brought my team to the pennant (I did)

How you speakin' on this game and you barely been in a scrimmage?

Window to my soul is tinted, ain't no seein' through me

And in her mind, she think it's love, but I don't see it, groupie

Don't start to think you Scarface after you see the movie

'Cause Alejandro sent a fleet of hitters, squeezin' Uzis, it's Blanco, man (Boom)

[Interlude: Ace Hood]

That's the uncomfortable truth

It's understood

Uh

[Verse 4: Ace Hood]

Blindfolded in the darkness, how I find the light?

How I rise and they surprised? It seem like overnight

Black queen by my side, not into China White

Sippin' Pinot Grigio, she deserve the best in life

Fuck the cost, she want a boss, we don't fisher price

We at the villa, just takin' pictures, we super fine

Blessings from above, how could I not give thanks?

I'm breakin' chains in my family, ain't no reform slaves

We gon' fight through all that trauma, get a grip on things

I was raised in a world where men don't cry out pain

We respond by gettin' bricks to heal our poverty shame

Gain a world with happiness, just can't exist in that frame, I know you feel that

[Outro: Ace Hood]

Forgive me for bein' transparent and honest

We gotta rise
