Lyrics

True

[Intro]

Jeeeez!

Now right

You know you dead wrong

Yo know...

Turn me up, turn me up

Gag me with a fuckin' spoon

You know you dead wrong

For this one right here baby, for real

[Verse 1]

Yo, yo, yo

Another day, another dollar

Sharks wanna bite don't bother

Cause this rhymes the truth, and

The truths hard to swallow

Don Dada, hard act to follow

See Rockwilder with the iced out dog collar

My crew want it all

This bout is scheduled for one fall

We can build or we can brawl

Yes y'all, last call for alcohol, damn!

Monkey wrench fuckin' up the whole program

[Chorus]

True

Them don't know them have to respect me

True

Them don't know them have to come correctly

True

Can't hear nothin' but the music I'm slippin'

Big head niggas don't listen

[Verse 2]

Hot N-I-X, my complex got a complex

Livin' in apartment complex

I'm cashin' chin checks every first and fifteenth

Failed my urinanalysis , they threw me in the clink

5-0's can't stop the pot roll, Jonny

Still Blaze, send young MCs to the potty

It's side ways nine fifteen

Be aware of the fatal flyin' guillotines

Are you prepared?

[Chorus]

True

Them don't know them have to respect me

True

Them don't know them have to come correctly

True

Time flow constantly the way time flow

I live by the code, style is mad P.L.O

[Verse 3]

My crew swarm in, tell a bitch please

Didn't mama tell you about the birds and the bees?

Especially them killas

Girls night out with gorillas [*Monkey Noises*]

Too slow ya' blow caterpillar

Son got game

And he pack a Rosco, flee Coltrane

Player we ain't playin'

Rush Associated Labels, don't let me in, I push my way in...

[*Coughing*]

As I was sayin', I push my way in, fuck it

How many suffered

For this Hip-Hop, if I can't see it, can't trust it

Tic-toc when will that fake shit stop?

Flip flop battery go dead in the clock

[Chorus]

True

Them don't know them have to respect me

True

Them don't know them have to come correctly

True

Can't hear nothin' but the music I'm slippin'

Big head niggas don't listen

[Verse 4]

Stapleton, the wild west Park Hill

Port Richmond, Now Born jungle nill

We dumbin', stunnin', bartender keep em comin

Niggas with alcohol problems, a hundred miles and runnin', yeah

Meth, I came here for crooks but I'm still here

Called me every name in the book but I'm still here

What up doc?

This Looney Toon got 'em shell shocked

Anvils droppin' out the sky once my hand cock

Back, I check you in to the Smack Down Hotel, while everything's black

I'm like the cast in Belly, I don't know how to act on wax

Rockwilder bring it on back

[Chorus]

True

Them don't no have to respect me

True

Them don't no have to come correctly

True

Time flow constantly the way time flow

I live by the code, style is mad P.L.O
