Liar

Lyrics

[Intro] What I want people to know is that, don't Don't support the phonies but support the real You know what I mean? How can these people be talking About how they so real that they don't care about our communities How can they be talking about what they all this the hood, blah-blah... They don't care about our communities, you know what I mean? Listen to the words people say in their lyrics And tell me if that's some real **** If that's real to you, you know what I mean? Listen to what they're saying Don't just bob your head to the beat, peep the game And listen to what I'm saying and hold us accountable for it [Verse 1] Thought to be a rotten egg hatched from a bad block I found God and came back for the have not's I can't necessarily brag like I'm that guy But I refuse to be another one of rap's mascots They rap 'bout the trap like it ain't a bad spot But ask when the last time they hand touched a crack pot It's either a long time ago or never But if the money right, I'ma rhyme about whatever They rap about Glocks from a house on the hill So they never hear the shots at night You see the loud cries from a mother with a child in the gutter Apparently doesn't travel that high I almost wanna cry but you would prolly wonder if I'm acting 'Cause you are so used to rappers that lack passion Your minds been trained to reject what I'm givin' you The Truth, and it's nothing new, it just ain't familiar [Hook] The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire So I'ma tell the truth Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar) Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire So I'ma tell the truth Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar) You just mad it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar But they gon' hear the truth from me [Verse 2] See I coulda sat back and let Jay be a liar And say he diss religion 'cause he feel that it divide us And you can sit back and be like "It makes sense" But it doesn't in a court where my Father is your honor Now is it really 'cause you hate the separation Enough that you could attack Jesus and make it blatant But go through your career sayin' nathing 'bout the banging? You say it to the church but won't say it to the gangsters? Jesus said "Love your brother", banging says slay 'em Wit' a case, so hatred for separation ain't what we facing So if he wasn't, which he is, a mason down with Satan You can break his statement down and see he ain't what he portrayin' His verse wasn't even 'posed to go that route But when the truth on the inside, it flow right out You gotta listen deeper, you gotta be a thinker And not be ready to eat anything rap feeds you [Hook] The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire So I'ma tell the truth Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar) Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire So I'ma tell the truth Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar) You just mad it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar But they gon' hear the truth from me [Verse 3] How's this for the truth? I lived in the booth Since eight, with big dreams of gettin' to the loot And I figured all these rap spitters were the truth Lookin' up to what really was a midget on a roof They write down BS and give it to the youth Watching kids go to prison while they sittin' in they coupes Tell 'em you the boss and how you're rich off cocaine Used to be the law and plead the fifth like bro man We more ashamed of bein' cops than drug dealers We holla thug and try to hide the love in us But I done had conversations with the hardest Some of 'em heart big, they just tryin' hard to guard it And I kinda feel that, but I'm tryna kill that Hide the thug, show the love, why would you conceal that? Even if it is real, you are too grown To not know that you wrong, it is what it is, homie [Hook] The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire So I'ma tell the truth Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar) Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar The world so cold but, for God, I'm on fire So I'ma tell the truth Even if it make you look like a liar (A liar) You just mad it make you look like a liar (A liar), you a liar But they gon' hear the truth from me [Outro] Even though I was survivin' in the thug life Everybody that was tryin' to be like me was goin' to jail And then finally I went to jail Even though I wasn't gettin' shot up, they was all gettin' shot up Then I got shot up And I started sayin' "Damn, you know, it is my fault" It is... it's not my fault where I made it happen But it's my fault because I'm smarter than that
