True Facts

(album: The Shadow In The Shade 2 - 2022)

Yeah
You know that that's true facts
You know that that's true facts
Yeah

If it's tragic I can't be kosher, grabbing the family closer
Still I'm in the hood like the plastic on granny's sofa
Rats wanna hand me over straight to the feds
Y'all let this generation disrespect the name of the dead, uh
See, I had the type of parents that obeyed what they said
I also couldn't go outside until I made up my bed
They on the edge, but we all in tune, used to snoop around
For the porno stash in my father's room but always put it back 'fore
He got off work, a smarter move, if we on the phone
And I say "that's crazy" too many times you should stop talking soon
Call the goons, yeah I'm thinking you should do that
You ride with new niggas like they bringing UberPool back
Who's that, nigga where your proof at?
These niggas too cap, I bought 'em a new hat
Yeah, I'm from New York but I would never move back
Niggas want a mile, they ain't even ran two laps

You knew that, that's true facts, yeah
You knew that, that's true facts, yeah
He knew that, that's true facts, word
She knew that, that's true facts
I know that, that's whole facts
You know that, that's whole facts
He know that, that's whole facts
She know that, that's whole facts, yeah, word

Back up in the hood, where we make the pain
Look so easy, they don't even ask us if we good
Whatever can go violent to settle this cold silence
My uncle robbed a corner store next to his own projects
Facts, we grow knowledge but never would go to college
The school of hard knocks to inherit our own guidance
Whatever they would call 'em, we could never say we fallen
Instead we play the corner like Devin Haney's father
And they say we are the crazy gods running my town
Fuck a new friends, I barely see the ones I got now
I'm sorry God, I be sinning right after he bless me
I seen my nigga bleed to death right after he text me, damn man
Is it weird I only really feel safe at my home?
Is it weird I still got dunk number saved in my phone? I don't know
Field niggas acting like they light-skinded
Still asking for a water cup to put some Sprite in it
Right nigga, right nigga, yeah

You knew that, that's true facts, yeah
He knew that, that's true facts, yeah
She knew that, that's true facts
I know that, that's whole facts, yeah
He know that, that's whole facts
She know that, that's whole facts
We know that, that's whole facts
