What’s the use in the truth
If you can’t tell a lie sometime?
What’s the use in the truth
If you can’t tell a lie?
[Verse One] [PackFM]
Damn, I overslept again?
Gotta get this clock rewired
Third time this week and I’m guaranteed to be fired
My boss thinks I’m a liar
All my excuses expired
But the stories I come up with
He got to admire
The bus caught a flat tire?
That’s for rookies and dingbats
I convinced him daylight savings was fall forward and sprang back
Maybe I could make him think that—
I had a dream that I was at work already
Nahhh, he’d never believe that
[ICON The Mic King]
Man, I’m always ahead of my time
You callin my mom a liar? Wait
Look at the time
Let me tell you what transpired
To the office, I’m on my way again
Early as usual
Got abducted by aliens
With some girl that was beautiful
I screamed ‘Don’t make me late for work
They sayin’ I got to stay
For a long enough period for me a shorty to copulate
C’mon, what would you do?
Of course you’d hit it fam
But now I’m three hours late
Cause, I ain’t no minute man
[Hook]
[Boss] Why are you late again?
[PackFM] Let me explain
[Boss] Do you think this is a joke?
[PackFM] Nah, I can explain
[Boss] I should fire you right now
[PackFM] No, check it out, let me explain!
Excuses, excuses, excuses
[Boss] Every day it’s something new
[PackFM] Yo, let me explain
[Boss] You must not like your job
[PackFM] Nah, let me explain
[Boss] I’m not gonna warn you anymore
[PackFM] Yo, check it out, I can explain!
Excuses, excuses, excuses
[Verse Two] [iCON The Mic King]
My bad love (here we go)
I got hit by the 7 bus (Uh-huh)
Plus I got stuck behind eleven trucks (Ooh)
Oh, I said those before (Yep!)
Well, really it’s Pack’s fault
Had to hit the hospital
We cracked his head on the asphalt
Be easy girl (Whatever)
You don’t need to smack a star
There’s plenty of ways to be in traffic when you don't even have a car
C’mon, stop actin’ sour
I brought you some flowers
I won’t be late again
At least not - more than 2 hours
Holla
[PackFM]
Baby, I know I’m late
But check it out, I can explain
I had to rescue a baby from under a train
He needed surgery, I had to operate on his brain
Then I went and got your umbrella, I thought it would rain
I know it’s insane, you probably think I’m makin’ this up
But I got the number of the lady who was drivin’ the bus
(Was it a bus or a train? Pack you lied to me! How dare you?!)
Oh, I’m sorry baby, but, um, hey! Is that a new hairdo?
[Hook]
[ICON] Yo, give me a lift to the airport
[PackFM] I got somewhere to be right now
[Tone] Hey man, can you help me move?
[PackFM] I got somewhere to be right now
[Girl] But this is your baby!
[PackFM] I got somewhere to be right now
Excuses, excuses, excuses
[Tone] Yo, let’s go hit up the show
[PackFM] I got somewhere to be right now
[Tone] Would you like to take a survey?
[PackFM] I got somewhere to be right now
[ICON] Yo man, you got my dough?
[PackFM] I got somewhere to be right now
Excuses, excuses, excuses
[Verse Three] [PackFM]
Damn Ike, you late again?
I shoulda known not to trust ya
For someone ahead of their time
You be late like a mothafucka!
[ICON]
I know you ain’t talk
He always leave me waitin’ for minutes
What can I say fam?
I need a motivation to spit this
[PackFM]
Yeah that’s funny, yo
I get it
But whatever the case
A second later, Words and Mecca woulda been takin’ your place
[Wordsworth]
I got 8 bars ready!
[Mecca]
Son, I was comin’ with the chorus
[ICON]
Wait - Mecca raps?
Words knows what a metaphor is?
Pack, you wylin’ out
Hold tight, be there in a second
Don’t dead me cause you scared I’ll outshine you on your record
[PackFM]
All I’m sayin is do you kid
But be swift with your movement
How you gonna outshine me, cause
Usin’ celly with excuses
[ICON]
Whatever man, I’m here now
Be up in a sec
Shit my notebook’s in the cab, man
And that nigga just left
[PackFM]
Hold up, let me get this straight
You hours and seconds late
Beggin me not to be replaced
Now you all up in my face
Sayin your rap sheet is in the backseat - of a taxi?
But when the check is late, you won’t hesitate to ask me
I told you bout this last week, your excuses are useless
At least have the decency to tell me what the truth is!
All the time in the booth is just costin’ me dough
[ICON]
That’s no excuse Pack, cause we tapin’ at Tone’s
You know I’m your ace in the hole
When it comes to blazin’ a poem
I’ll rip it straight from the dome
So get prepared to drop the heat
Damn I wish I got some sleep
Tone, you ready to rock this beat?
[Tone]
Nah we can’t
[ICON]
Why Tone?
[Tone]
Cause Pack forgot the beat
Yo man - you forgot it
[Pack]
Whatchu lookin’ at me for? Shit. Your momma, nigga
[Hook]
[PackFM] Yo, what took you so long?
[ICON] What had happened was
[PackFM] You can’t call nobody?
[ICON] See, what had happened was
[PackFM] Fuck it, I’m takin’ you off this track
[ICON] What had happened was
[PackFM] Excuses, excuses, excuses
[Tone] Dog, how could you forget the beat?
[PackFM] Nah, see what had happened was
[Tone] Man, you do this every time
[PackFM] What had happened was
[Tone] That’s it, you’re dropped from QN5
[PackFM] No, no! What had happened was
[Outro x2]
What’s the use in the truth
If you can’t tell a lie sometime?
