lirik lagu cho$en the emcee - can't lie
[intro]
this here not a preview..
of what my tape gonna bring you
just me and my confessions
here to open some eyes and answer some questions..
[verse 1]
can’t lie to you i’m full of nothing but flaws
like rock said we all human but what does it cost?
what does it cost to be flawed?
knowing the whole world is ours
how bout a round of applause for the ones on they job
still working to acting perfect becoming closer to god
and ones claim to be real mainly be the frauds
i wrote this song sleeping in the back of my mom’s car
driving back to my hometown never knew was so far
seeing all my cousins and brothers
i’ll try not to smother them when i hug em
it’s been a minute no lie
trying to hold back these tears
my n-gga, it’s been some years
sitting at my grandmother’s table eating food that she prepared
this past semester spread some blood shed some tears
i know y’all can relate, them final grades were a scare
now i’m back home on the other side where failures my fear
waiting on financial aid playing musical chairs
they tried to ask me, do you want to graduate an aggie, sh-t gladly
anything to make my momma happy
and i can’t lie this party life ain’t too shabby
girlies with fattys just begging to call me daddy…
[hook]
i can’t lie to you
i can’t lie to you
i can’t lie to you
no, i won’t lie to you
[verse 2]
looking back just mistakes of the young and dumb
like times when my goals revolved around getting some
trading love for l-st feeling empty after its done
tying my feelings in the rubbers right after i c-m
sitting, reflecting on what my granny used to say
her p-ssing, really felt like it lasted a couple days
i can feel her soul watching me every time i pray
telling me to be the role model that most people never be
i can imagine, growing without a dad it’s sad
cause he wasn’t ready for a child instead
then he fled, it’s sad
just images of a black man
now our father figures are the rappers and the hype men
now they wonder why, generation y, will never thrive
mama struggling with rent, 2 jobs, working that 9 to 5
stuck with nothing left but to look up at the skies
excuse me if there’s tears in my eyes
it’s been some years since i really cried
[hook]
i can’t lie to you
i can’t lie to you
i can’t lie to you
no, i won’t lie to you
[outro]
what if school ain’t for me?
what if rapping ain’t in my story?
what if i fail like the ones that came in before me
i can’t lie this thought is k!lling me on the inside
i come to realize my life is only what i make it
but when my time comes best believe i’m gonna take it
dudes they claim to know me but barely know my trip
but fail to see me as what i am… god’s gift..
i can’t lie to you…
