The Truth Lyrics - Singles - Mark Battles

I came to tell 'em the truth 

And the truth hurts 

() 

She said 'do what you're supposed to, and neva let em fold you' 

Mama was a thug, I was raised by a soldier 

The purse on her shoulder got a pistol with no holster 

Said 'let a nigga make a move and I'mma toast em' 

Ghost em, sleep tight ain't neva what it seem like 

Wanna know my life? A lot of death in some street fights 

Walkin' home at night they smokin' meth by the streetlights 

Had to check some nigga cuz they thought I was the weak type 

See heights that they neva thought I could reach 

Word games and flashcards so my daughters can speak 

Cuz she about to turn five and she can't say a word 

Since she's not autistic all these doctors gettin' on my nerves 

Consistent with my urge until I get what I deserve 

Killin' all you nerds I'll treat the rap game like the purge 

Tongue trickin' while I drive, baby please don't make me swerve 

She only interested for benefits will I eva learn?

I came to tell em the truth 

And the truth hurts 

I'm here to tell you the truth 

I just hope it works 

I came to tell em the truth 

And the truth hurts 

I'm here to tell you the truth 

I just hope it works 

() 

I grew up with screw ups but I ain't really do much 

Hit the park and see who wanna battle for a few bucks 

Anybody want it, they can get it, come get chewed up 

Don't make me have to pull your card and bag you like a school lunch 

Who us, what you mean? You witnessin' a couple kings 

Bring my team to chase the dream I'm trying to do my thing 

Goin' hard while you sleep as a man I'm complete 

So at times I take it deep, before I hit the booth I tend to pray for every beat 

Cuz mama always said bless your food before you eat 

And I'mma feast, yeah I'mma feast 

Struggle can make you weak I used to cry myself to sleep 

Really was broke as hell, my baby mama called me creep 

Cuz I neva let 'er see me down I kept it so discrete 

Bringin' hope to the hopeless, repairs for the broken 

Aware that I was chosen, I swear I'll stay focused 

I came to tell em the truth 

And the truth hurts 

I'm here to tell you the truth 

I just hope it works 

I came to tell em the truth 

And the truth hurts 

I'm here to tell you the truth 

I just hope it works
