[Intro: Truth Hurts]
Mmm, mmm, yeah, mhm, oh, oh
Does it hurt yet?

[Verse 1: Truth Hurts]
Take no offense to this, speaking from my own experience
There's a price to pay when you get caught up (When you get caught)
You sow and retune in what you get
But you can lose the same with no respect
And never see the real through all the dark, oh

[Chorus: Truth Hurts]
You have to be patient, love
(Yes you do, yeah, oh)
And don't believe everything you hear
(Don't believe it, no, oh yeah)
Just let the truth be known
'Cause bullshit pours down like rain
(Search they hearts, nothing's genuine)
Bullshit pours down like rain
(So caught up by the hype and nonsense)
But the truth will not change (No, no)

[Verse 2: Truth Hurts]
Now, I can see straight through clear people
(Heartless and spineless tryin' to fit in)
Kissing my joy with pain, their efforts are all in vain
'Cause I'm just a gem in the city tryin' to maintain
[Chorus: Truth Hurts]
(You have to stick to your guns)
Oh, yes I am
(And stand firm on all that you believe)
(Just let the truth be known)
Let the bullshit, let the bullshit go
(Bullshit pours down like rain) Like rain
I search they hearts, nothing's genuine, no
(Bullshit pours down like rain)
They so caught up by the hype and nonsense, yeah
(But the truth will not change)
See, I don't care what they say 'cause the truth will not change, oh
(Bullshit pours down like rain) Like rain
I search they hearts, nothing's genuine, oh
(Bullshit pours down like rain) Rain
Hypnotized by the hype and nonsense, yeah
(But the truth will not change) Won't change, mmm

[Interlude: Big Rube]
If I beat my meat instead of fuck with defeat, concede
Reach my peak without a buck with deceit, compete
Took disrespect and then buck, would I be complete?
Grew up with no luck, would I be easy to reach?
Would I be easy to teach if I grew up on easier streets?
It's easy to eat when you feedin' and freezin' your feast
Would you be more of a beast if you had a lot less in your grease?
'Cause you dress to impress, do that make you much less of a beesh?
If hoes fucked less, would that make us smell fresher than fish?
Less and we pissed, think 'fore you act, ain't no catchin' a fist
Fuckin' with this will get you cracked when you less than a fifth
Don't make us trip 'cause we'd much rather be blessin' a spliff
Bitch n***a
The truth hurts
[Outro: Truth Hurts]
Damn
Bullshit pours down like rain
Bullshit pours down like rain
But the truth will not change
