The Truth lyrics
by Paul Wall
[Trae]
This gon be the realest sh*t I ever wrote, so just know it's deeper than rap
It was a lot of sh*t that go, but now I'm bringing it back
I been a G all of my life, and tried to hold it for the best
I'm the realest n*gga living, they can write it when I rest
f*ck it put me with the best, and I can stand out on my own
It's survival of the truth, and I'll be coming for the throne
f*ck being a bigger man, n*ggas played the game wrong
So I played it how they played it, while remaining in my zone
These n*ggas hoes, that's why they keep my name in they mouth
It ain't hard to find me, b*tch n*gga I'm the streets of the South
And ain't no banging over wax, n*gga come see me in the hood
In the section where fake is twisted, like the W in wood
I been repping since I was 12, but now I'm 25 strong
With the family of A.B.N., running and toting some'ing chrome
I never trained to be in battle, even though I been at war
Mob made motherf*cker, prolly leave you with a scar I'm the truth
[Hook: Billy Cook]
This be the realest, the realest sh*t I ever wrote
This be the realest, the realest sh*t I ever spoke
All I know is, (this gon be the realest sh*t I ever wrote)
All I know is, that I'm gon be the truth
[Trae]
They better know I peep everything in the game, they got me looking at my life different
n*ggas out here thinking they can know it, if my vibe different
These other n*ggas out here falsified, telling lies
Sell a couple records, now they profitized keep it real
You n*ggas ain't got the credibility, to be the truth
Unless you out here living what you talking, in the booth
Everyday it be the same, n*ggas know I'm in the lane
Only f*cking with the killers, cause we feel eachother pain
I hit the highway with my n*ggas, never toching the caine
Now they got me watching for the FEDs, b*tches mention my name
Since I'm the leader of the gang, it make it hard for me to move
I'm the truth, it ain't gon be a pretty sight for me to lose
Trae bail on street sh*t, got it on a lock
Everytime I'm going off, n*ggas done got it on the block
Never something that it's not, I only know of being Trae
And that's the truth every motherf*cking day, it ain't no other way
[Hook]
[Trae]
n*ggas saying I got the name to be the truth, and I ain't even mad at em
But that expression on they face, had me taking jabs at em
This a warning shot, ever seen a n*gga at his last
If you haven't, I advise you let this motherf*cker pass
I ain't here to be mistaken, so respect it when I spit it
f*ck it keep it yourself, cause anyone of you's will get it
I'm a as*h*le, and it's self explained by the anger
And I'm holding on a Glock, that's keeping one up in the chamber
I'ma strut it like a gangsta, so my n*ggas get they bang on
Hopping out the slab, di*kies sagging with my chains on
Hopping fly, cause they seen the dropper with them thangs on
Lord knows, Trae'll leave them n*ggas with they brains blown
I'm in another zone, n*ggas still on cloud nine
And I'm a loner, you n*ggas don't need to crowd mine
Trae the Truth is what it is, n*ggas know it's time
Plus I'm here to make em lay it down, 'fore I spray it down
[Billy Cook]
The truth be the realest sh*t I ever spoke, be the realest sh*t I ever wrote
(this gon be the realest sh*t I ever wrote)
Be the realest sh*t I ever spoke, be the realest sh*t I ever wrote - 2X
[Trae]
This be the realest sh*t, I ever spoke
Even if they never see it, this gon be the realest sh*t I ever wrote
Pay attention, to the sh*t I quote
Even if they never hear it, this gon be the realest sh*t I ever spoke - 2X
(*Billy Cook*)
One hundred percent real, one hundred percent reeeeeal
Heeeey, Trae let em know ooooh
This be the realest sh*t, that I ever spoke and wrote
This is the truth, heeeey
