The Ballad Of Truth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Look at you You 'posed to be a man 'bout your business, right? Why you don't supply what they demand? Out here lying to your fans like that iron in your pants Hoping the bands increase, never iron out a plan Well suited for the brand Hidden hand, you're a tool Getting screwed by them ghouls April, May, shower fools with a floral arrangement Immoral containment Roles deserted, perverted [?] attainment Your girl where the pain went, who got the shortest end of the stick Shе just tryna hang, man Why don't you let her pick an alternatе route? He out here lost in the clout, caught in a drought Thinking he dumb fire 'til umpires calling him out Death's all in your mouth with no interpreter Industry murder In the streets, Gerber, bruh Shoes over baby food Blaming mental health and everybody else for what you did to yourself You out here ranting and raving Debating racing [?] online Impatiently waiting, frustration breaking this nation Who's the best generation? You know that question rhetorical 'cause in the end, all of our stories are historical You say you feel horrible, maybe because you lack peace Child safety lot behind confinements of a backseat Black and white taxis, no fare Payment is a sale Blame it on yourself We tried to give you help but you'd rather follow toxic prophets of gossip narcissistic obnoxious know-it-alls I got this who never need assistance Quarantining our dreaming, clinging to distance Opportunities missed it, chasing unrealistic characteristics of society Well how did he misfit? She tryna be miss thick while training to derail Blaming everybody else for what you did to yourself It's hard truths [Hook] It's some hard truths It's hard truths Hard truths [Verse 2] Hometown don't support you And dark days are plagued with thoughts [?] like why she didn't abort you Sending prayers up, no response 'cause He ignored you again, pierce in Duty calls cause wars to suspend Momentary intermission from this opposition Those shades a phase, amazing how you block your vision A black cat still believing in them superstitions? 'cause they ain't into wishing Division is risen Put your heart in some writtens Only part of 'em listen Name ain't ringing bells [?] attention So can you stand the rain? Answer not obvious? You should know storms better than meteorologists Media politics Feeling it's a pile of sh— If the shoe fits wear it, make sure to polish it Mirror will acknowledge it Anytime you fail, blaming everybody else for what you did to yourself Regardless of beliefs and political stance, we all striving to survive given minimal chance to advance past this critical exam called life Some don't make it through the night, hated taking true advice Get it right Everybody slips, never mind the fall Rising up is half the battle, might be scuffed, stand tall, battle scars and all Pain is universal But not letting go of trauma—see that's what really hurts you Making it to the finish line, that's our common goal Different path, same task, dodging bombers [?] Tryna take the highroad, traffic full of lowlifes Toll unaffordable, convertible with strobe lights You just gotta hold tight and keep steering We in this thing together, God got us, that's endearing Spirits cheering when we're winning If the riders sure to fail, just don't blame nobody else for what we did to ourselves It's hard truths [Hook] It's some hard truths It's hard truths Hard truths
