Текст песни The Truth (feat. Roisin Murphy & J-Live)

[Roisin]
Go to the moutain if you must
Go to the burning bush
?Heavy? would ease your troubled mind
I would prefer to stay behind

I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry dear, this is why I fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last

You can't hide from the truth, because the truth is all there is x3
You can't hide

If happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness

And the truth is, you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts, because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago
That I would have to let you go

It may be true they say that you'll return one day
But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall

[J-Live]
Now presiding in this court of Hip-Hop justice my rap forte
Is judge, jury, bailiff and prosecuting DA
'Cause ceteris paribus my modus operandi
Is carpe diem whether de facto or de jure

Comprende? The people versus you and your sensei
For teaching that style of wordplay, we got the words ?they?
Regardless of what your friends say, you're all dissable
Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissible

Why, this long arm of the law grabs the mic to
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The def sentences of this Live litigator
Close a case tighter than the jaws of a gator

Stenographers are steady logging the jargon
That you councillors are barking in hopes of a plea-bargain
But when you read back verbatim what they're saying to persuade them
You realize exactly how I played them

I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as fucking with Live will
I prove skill with refills from now until
Plagiarizing MCs get their flows to steal

[Roisin]
And baby I won't die
Without you by my side
As long as you return
Into these arms that burn

And baby I won't die
Just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn
Come to these arms that yearn

I won't die if you leave me high
I won't die if you're not by my side

And the truth hurts, because the truth is all there is x2

You can't hide from the truth 'cause the truth is all there is x4 and fade
