Tell The Truth

(álbum: Friend Of The Family - 2022)

Baby, you're sweet and you're sassy
Yeah, yeah
You're insecure just as me
I'll tell the truth, baby
I'll tell the truth, baby
Ayy, yeah, uh
(He's heating up)

Always said you wanted something more until I gave you something more
Then you wanted something else
Crazy how the [?] problems on my mental can't escape myself
How we go from being broke to be a slave for wealth
We were super high, how the angels fell?
Never thought I'd see the day you changed on me
She want the time but the time cost money
When the money doesn't come then the time means nothing
Drowning in my situation
Came a long way from the basin
Still a long way from my destination
Pit stops with empty tanks and my father's bracelet
All his words kept me patient
Stage side, I can taste it
But I'm not part of this operation
Just commended for cooperating
Nowadays we all defined by our occupation
And end up in the same places

Baby, you're sweet and you're sassy
Damn
And end up in the same places
You're insecure just as me
Uh, yeah
I'll tell the truth, baby
Uh, and here we go again
Going through some shit I said I'd never do again
I'll tell the truth, baby
They don't show you how to win
They just tell you not to lose
I'm just saying how it is

So give me a chance and not an advance without any plans
And put the blame on me when it don't do what it can
I'm not tryna make excuses but damn
How many times can I be starting again?
All this trauma that you see as a boy can leave you scarred as a man
It's like they only give you Band-Aids to cover up the wombs from these hand grenades
And then it's back in the field
'Cause I'm a soldier so I win or I'm getting carried back on my shield
We walk a thin line on a fault line
I'm just a lost boy making up for this lost time
Lost Studios the only home that I call mine
I [?] my soul with every line
I'm just giving you a glimpse of what's in Jesse's mind
It don't matter if you big time 'cause even big dogs getting booked for a petty crime
That's why I'm cautious for every reason to take you out once you make it out

Baby, you're sweet and you're sassy
You're insecure just as me
I'll tell the truth, baby
And here we go again
Going through some shit I said I'd never do again
I'll tell the truth, baby
They don't show you how to win
They just tell you not to lose
I'm just saying how it is
