The Truth (Explicit Album Version) - DJ Kay Slay/LL Cool J (埃勒·酷)
Uhh yeah
See this is what these mix tapes is all about
Knah'msayin KaySlay
Talk to the people
With no interruptions and interference
Put that mic down admire the technique
And tight tight sounds
Of a Renegade never been afraid
The time is right now
Before I take my bow and finally allow
My love affair with rap to fade
I'll sink into the page
Pleasure and the pain that came
From rulin' the game
And the half Dominican
That gave me brains in the fast lane
A seventeen year reign simple and plain
When I ruled the rap game
And all my peers sold coc*ine
One three two uptown
When Rich Porter told me
"See you can push a new car
It's different for a rap star"
And AZ was givin' 50's to the homeless
They never bragged about it "L
We don't condone this"
On the back of the bike with Alpo
Doin' a buck down one two five
Hopin' to stay alive
Favorite spot rooftop
Me and Big chuckle up
When he was hittin' up "Juicy" and whatnot
Damn when Dapper Dan got shot up
Before they made drops
When we had to cut the top up
Some cats neglected the fact that L was hot
'Cause they warm and electin' me hot
When I stepped in the spot
Lyrically reppin' the block on farmers to rock
But my sex symbol status made me corny to cop
The microphone strategist ripped the apparatus
Left competition embarrassed but I never held malice
Kinda saw street literature
Used to lose battles on purpose
So these cats can dream more
I wanna see y'all shine without the use of a nine
You might see a ni**a I see a black Einstein
A diamond in the rough he's remidin' me as tough
Young girls takin' X she's blinded by the stuff
Oh my God where did we go wrong
Are you doin' what you're doin'
'Cause I ruined you with songs
God forgive me
I never knew my power to devour the demons
Y'all know the Devil be schemin'
It's a manifestation of the pain of a nation
That makes materialism the only thing we're chasin'
The real gangstas never talked to me tough
Never told me they was hard
Or claimed to be my God
When I first found the courage
To bounce up outta Queens
And saw Big Dave comin' up out
The store with money machines
My only dream was to rock mics in the spotlight
Joint bumpin' on Marley show all night
Whoever thought that I would be a movie star
A rap icon chokin' the game like a python
Russell turned the hype on exploded like a pipe bomb
Just because a young boy turned the mic on
Still admire skills and cats that are ill
With lyrikills nowadays the chorus is payin' the bill
The black man found a way outta the hood
Now it's slaves to eat beef meal
Mayor's not all good
Don't let 'em take our music and plagiarize the game
Then you call up
And request it and pretend it's really flames
The tip of the iceberg I'll hold my piece
In the meantime live smart watch out for the beast
Lyrical Picasso flow masterpiece
Like Michaelangelo or Rembrandt you know
Si palare poco Italiano
LL bravisimo grazie prego
Masters mejor siempre mi amigo
Pero music is muy muy duro
To sabe que to quieres es no problema
Te quiero mucho yo comprendo your dilemma
Summer's comin it won't always be winter
I pray to God He forgives me I'm a sinner
That's a little message
All the brothers and sisters out there
Y'all be strong
Keep your dreams flowin' baby
KaySlay I'm out for presidents to represent me
But I wanna get 'em the right way y'know
