Текст песни The Truth (Unit 7 mix)

go to the mountain if you must

go to the burning bush

happy would easy your troubled mind

I'd be prepared 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 fatalists

the truth is you can't hide from the truth

I realized some time ago
and the truth hurts because the truth is all there is


that I would have to let you go



it may not be true to 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, or prosecutin DA

cause ceteris paribus

my modus operandi

is carpe diem
whether de facto or de jure


comprende?

the people versus

you and your sensei

teachin that style of wordplay

weaker than Wednesday

regardless of what your friends say

they'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 death sentences of this live litigator

close a case tighter than the jaws of a gator

stenographers are steady loggin
the jargon that your counselors are barkin


in hopes of a plea bargain

but when you read back verbatim

what they sayin to persuade them


they 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 skills with refills from now until
plagiarizing MCs get their flows to steal


[Roisin Murphy]

baby I won't die



without you by my side
as long as you return


to these arms that burn
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 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 (x8)
