The Truth Lyrics

We’re born to lose

If you read the news, you’ll see that I’m telling the truth

We sang the blues

Riot, march, and pray, but oh Lord it’s still no use

It’s nothing new

The souls of lynch victims crying out from hanging down strange fruit

It’s still a noose

Asphyxiated from the use of financial institutes

And I ask, what you see

In a man like me

I am more than I seem, I’m the Truth

I could have died a million times but I survived

I’m the truth

Been losing sleep

Land of the free, but we get gunned down in the streets

Blaming me

Like I made the robes and hoods from my own bedsheets

I can’t believe

I’m supposed to be discreet about atrocities from my history

Just let me be

A million lives have payed the price for me and mine to be free

And I ask, what you see

In a man like me

I am more than I seem, I’m the Truth

I could have died a million times but I survived

I’m the truth
