Explizit Content - The Truth [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:
This phony ass industry needs to be exposed
All shows when they posed in they clothes selling they souls
This is how it goes, shit they spitting is fiction
When they signed ain't about who can flip the best diction
It's who got the best image, it's all superficial
Go sign a deal, then the truth'll hit you
Give you a mill, that's the cheese you the rat
It's a trap deeper than rap, so y'all do the math
Get ten cents a copy, first recoup the losses
Belongs to the label, even ice dude flosses
Can't write your own shit, it's all ghostwritten
They tell you how you're supposed to be spitting
Same shit every time cuz it makes them rich
So y'all don't know who's real and who fakes this shit
Pull kids from the burbs, talk like they big with words
Pretend they flipping birds and that bids have been served

Hook 2x:
The truth - it's what they don't want you to know
The truth - you sign a deal you selling your soul
The truth - they control the way that you flow
The truth - rap's fake like a TV show

Verse 2:
Why you think they glorify people getting shot?
Yeah it's about gwap, but don't forget the master plot
Hip hop ain't hip hop, more like a sedative
Was empowering, they turned it negative
MTV, BET, the same corporation
That's why the same songs are on all the stations
If you don't believe me then look at Rick Ross
Said he's the boss, then he got bopped
For being a CO, but that's just one example
Remember Little Brother their video got cancelled
It was too intelligent, they don't want you educated
Tryna keep us quiet like people who meditated
Conscious emcees it's like we don't make a sound
Think it's coincidence we stay underground?
Speak out and either get the noose or get locked
So always remember the truth gets blocked

Hook
