《The Truth(Explicit Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Truth (Explicit Album Version) - DJ Kay Slay/LL Cool J (埃勒·酷)

[00:00:03] Uhh yeah

[00:00:09] See this is what these mix tapes is all about

[00:00:14] Knah'msayin KaySlay

[00:00:17] Talk to the people

[00:00:19] With no interruptions and interference

[00:00:23] Put that mic down admire the technique

[00:00:25] And tight tight sounds

[00:00:26] Of a Renegade never been afraid

[00:00:27] The time is right now

[00:00:29] Before I take my bow and finally allow

[00:00:31] My love affair with rap to fade

[00:00:32] I'll sink into the page

[00:00:34] Pleasure and the pain that came

[00:00:35] From rulin' the game

[00:00:36] And the half Dominican

[00:00:38] That gave me brains in the fast lane

[00:00:39] A seventeen year reign simple and plain

[00:00:42] When I ruled the rap game

[00:00:43] And all my peers sold coc*ine

[00:00:44] One three two uptown

[00:00:46] When Rich Porter told me

[00:00:48] "See you can push a new car

[00:00:49] It's different for a rap star"

[00:00:51] And AZ was givin' 50's to the homeless

[00:00:53] They never bragged about it "L

[00:00:55] We don't condone this"

[00:00:56] On the back of the bike with Alpo

[00:00:58] Doin' a buck down one two five

[00:01:00] Hopin' to stay alive

[00:01:01] Favorite spot rooftop

[00:01:03] Me and Big chuckle up

[00:01:04] When he was hittin' up "Juicy" and whatnot

[00:01:06] Damn when Dapper Dan got shot up

[00:01:08] Before they made drops

[00:01:10] When we had to cut the top up

[00:01:12] Some cats neglected the fact that L was hot

[00:01:15] 'Cause they warm and electin' me hot

[00:01:16] When I stepped in the spot

[00:01:18] Lyrically reppin' the block on farmers to rock

[00:01:20] But my sex symbol status made me corny to cop

[00:01:23] The microphone strategist ripped the apparatus

[00:01:25] Left competition embarrassed but I never held malice

[00:01:28] Kinda saw street literature

[00:01:31] Used to lose battles on purpose

[00:01:32] So these cats can dream more

[00:01:34] I wanna see y'all shine without the use of a nine

[00:01:37] You might see a ni**a I see a black Einstein

[00:01:39] A diamond in the rough he's remidin' me as tough

[00:01:42] Young girls takin' X she's blinded by the stuff

[00:01:45] Oh my God where did we go wrong

[00:01:48] Are you doin' what you're doin'

[00:01:49] 'Cause I ruined you with songs

[00:01:50] God forgive me

[00:01:51] I never knew my power to devour the demons

[00:01:54] Y'all know the Devil be schemin'

[00:01:56] It's a manifestation of the pain of a nation

[00:01:58] That makes materialism the only thing we're chasin'

[00:02:02] The real gangstas never talked to me tough

[00:02:04] Never told me they was hard

[00:02:05] Or claimed to be my God

[00:02:07] When I first found the courage

[00:02:08] To bounce up outta Queens

[00:02:09] And saw Big Dave comin' up out

[00:02:11] The store with money machines

[00:02:13] My only dream was to rock mics in the spotlight

[00:02:16] Joint bumpin' on Marley show all night

[00:02:18] Whoever thought that I would be a movie star

[00:02:20] A rap icon chokin' the game like a python

[00:02:23] Russell turned the hype on exploded like a pipe bomb

[00:02:26] Just because a young boy turned the mic on

[00:02:29] Still admire skills and cats that are ill

[00:02:31] With lyrikills nowadays the chorus is payin' the bill

[00:02:34] The black man found a way outta the hood

[00:02:37] Now it's slaves to eat beef meal

[00:02:38] Mayor's not all good

[00:02:40] Don't let 'em take our music and plagiarize the game

[00:02:42] Then you call up

[00:02:43] And request it and pretend it's really flames

[00:02:45] The tip of the iceberg I'll hold my piece

[00:02:48] In the meantime live smart watch out for the beast

[00:02:51] Lyrical Picasso flow masterpiece

[00:02:53] Like Michaelangelo or Rembrandt you know

[00:02:56] Si palare poco Italiano

[00:02:58] LL bravisimo grazie prego

[00:03:02] Masters mejor siempre mi amigo

[00:03:05] Pero music is muy muy duro

[00:03:07] To sabe que to quieres es no problema

[00:03:10] Te quiero mucho yo comprendo your dilemma

[00:03:13] Summer's comin it won't always be winter

[00:03:16] I pray to God He forgives me I'm a sinner

[00:03:20] That's a little message

[00:03:23] All the brothers and sisters out there

[00:03:25] Y'all be strong

[00:03:26] Keep your dreams flowin' baby

[00:03:28] KaySlay I'm out for presidents to represent me

[00:03:32] But I wanna get 'em the right way y'know
