Truth Decay

[Chorus:]

Truth decay brush up on your facts

All you gotta do is check them stats

But what sense is a census

When they just miss us

But enlist us to fight for their justice

Truth decay brush up on your facts

All you gotta do is check them stats

But what sense is a census

When they just miss us

But enlist us to fight for their justice

[Chuck-D: First Verse]

Truth is truth

No matter what I think

Knowledge is power

But it ain't

If you can't occupy your own body & mind

See thru the blind

In this place full a lies

Television tellin lies

To your vision and face

Seems like more of us in prison

Than the workplace

Gettin gadgets

So it's easy to forget

Economics

No money

Not a damn thing funny

Some diggin every minute of it

I'm hatin every second of it

Driven

Ever since I heard the lie about thanksgiving

While in still thankful through all that fibbin

The truth dies while lies make a living

History games

Playing stealing family names

Slave names turned into government names

[Chorus:]

Truth decay brush up on your facts

All you gotta do is check them stats

But what sense is a census

When they just miss us

But enlist us to fight for their justice

Truth decay brush up on your facts

All you gotta do is check them stats

But what sense is a census

When they just dismiss us

But enlist us to grow and pick their stuff

[Chuck-D: Second Verse]

Truth is truth

No matter what I think

I ain't drunk

Cause I don't drink

Don't smoke

Or

Laugh at the facts like stupid ass jokes

Or get lost in my own sauce, I check the source

I challenge information

Trace it to the boss

Refuse to accept the truth

When it be be lost

Lies in the key of new songs

You think it's old news

How come the young don't know

It ain't new because you never knew

I tell them ,it's only new to you

Opinion is what it is and its up to you

The challenge information

To see if it's true

Never have so many been screwed by so few

You heard im using it for this song too

Damn crooks

Ask a question get some stupid ass looks

Truth don't sell a lotta records or books

To hell with rapes to murder rates

To lyin on a mixtapes

I want the truth

[Chorus:]

Truth decay brush up on your facts

All you gotta do is check them stats

But what sense is a census

When they just miss us

But enlist us to fight for their justice

Truth decay brush up on your facts

All you gotta do is check them stats

But what sense is a census

When they just dismiss us

But enlist us to grow and pick their stuff
