Quarantined version of "Truth", a yet unreleased track
All recorded on iPhones using the AcapellaApp by Mixcor
lyrics
Find your own truth
Be your own proof
That is the message to all the youth.
To yourself be true
Be the real you
Many are called but chosen few.
Do what you must do
Have a birds eye view
No one can choose what's right for you.
Speak your own truth
Throat chakra blue
Never bite more than you can chew.
And when you come to your real senses.
No one can fool you no them nah convince.
and when you see that there is no repentance.
I and I not left defenseless.
Chorus:
Gimme the truth and don't gimme no lie. Give me no falsehood no time.
2nd verse
If you know it and expose it.
The Truth will blow your mind.
Therefore they hide it and disguise it.
Right there in plain plain sight.
Used to mislead them and divide them.
Causing so much strife.
Shape shifting the people turn them to sheeple
Trying to control their lives.
You yourself can only see the sign.
Deep down inside the spirit, soul and mind.
Honesty integrity present by design.
Present in your mind.
Gimme the truth and don't give me no lie... Give me no falsehood no time
Bridge:
Yes truth is stranger than fiction and Jah people always the victims.
And through all the pain and addiction they find themselves deep within the system.
The truth has been written
And the truth will be revealed and the lie won't be concealed.
And with this conviction
I know that Babylon we'll trample pon we heels.
So what is truth
What's the real root
No one can tell what is true.
To your self be true
Be the real you.
Many are called but chosen few.
Do what you must do.
Have a bird's eye view.
No one can tell you what's right for you.
Speak your own truth.
Throat chakra blue.
Never seeking no less than the truth.
Gimme the truth and don't give me no lie... Give me no falsehood no time
