Nas The Truth Lyrics
The Truth by Nas
Can't bury you with your money
Can't bury you with your b_tch
Born alone, die alone
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, burn the whole place down
No more foul plays
Housin' mentality, shoot 'em down days
Goin' out of town with a couple of pound plays
Always the one you call your friend but then his style changed
Hard time for non-violent crimes, that's a outrage
We need a meetin'
Money and fame is fleetin'
You never really know the reason why two people is beefin'
Bloody murder
In the '80s, he had suede Louis seats in the 'burban
Did dirty, his sentence start turnin'
Look at life, took advice from the streets of Vernon
Nothin Nice, John Boy Ice, his death undetermined
Pick an island anywhere for your happy soul or return it
When I'm gone, I pray my family don't get the cash and burn it to the floor
Black 4's laced up
Galactica glaciers, eighty-eight carats, immaculate paystubs
Them n_ggas do a crime, I drop a rhyme, it's the same rush
And they been sending shots a n_gga way but they ain't struck
Can't f_ck with me
I been outside, since a buck fifty was the only way to get your face done
Doggystyle CD, turn that "Murder Was The Case" up
Thinkin' when I drop my first sh_t, I'm leavin' they face scrunched
Black from the dark side of Vernon, draws from the dime block
They had it clickin' but today, it's some new slimes out
Instagram trickin' the hood
What they cryin' 'bout?
Petty crimes, b_tches, and money, that's what they lyin' 'bout
N_ggas ain't tellin' the truth enough (No, uh-uh, no)
Y'all don't look like the truth to us (Hype off that lil' dirt you did, that ain't sh_t to the kid, whoa)
N_ggas ain't tellin' the truth enough (No, no, n_gga)
Y'all don't look like the truth to us (Hype off that lil' dirt you did, that ain't sh_t to the kid, whoa)
Now you got your marching orders
This sh_t will make your mouth water
Like food grilled with wood chips
Woolrich, b_tton-up flannel
Lookin' wolfish, my hair wolfin'
Central bookings, simple lessons
One foot on the curb, one foot in the Lexus
My style is eclectic
Eat you pussies for breakfast
Then I offer refreshments
Look all that fly sh_t y'all harpin' on
They take the watch from your arm
And cops do nothin' about it, that's what's goin' on
Many changes, more races
When I was tourin' the nation with warrants on probation
I was a small kid amazed with the thought one day I'll be bankin', IV from drinkin'
Papi to Abu Dhabi
Prolly polly with Saudis
Crank the engine on a '74 Chevy Chevelle
Shorty friend is a snake
I told her her bestie ain't real
You gotta watch that
As the lobster crack, I spray the Baccarat
Your reputation, you can't clean that sh_t up at no laundromat, s_cker
See, somebody has to say it, the boy still ain't graduated
I must say they cap the greatest (Be real)
My team is mature, the bags are secure
Surrounded by addicts addicted to having more
N_ggas ain't tellin' the truth enough (No, uh-uh, no)
Y'all don't look like the truth to us (Hype off that lil' dirt you did, that ain't sh_t to the kid, whoa)
N_ggas ain't tellin' the truth enough (No, no, n_gga)
Y'all don't look like the truth to us (Hype off that lil' dirt you did, that ain't sh_t to the kid, whoa)
Can't bury you with your b_tch
Born alone, die alone
Yeah
