truth be told - apollo brown & guilty simpson lyrics

[intro: guilty simpson & sample]
[sample]
oh baby it’s been so…
[guilty simpson]
yeah
[sample]
long…
[guilty simpson]
true
a lotta rappers be lyin’, man
scared to face the reality of truth
yeah, it’s true
check me, check me, yo

[verse 1: guilty simpson]
i didn’t have the drive
to put in time
to keep hoop dreams alive
i was busy with the women
thinkin’ i was livin’
all the while slippin’
losin’ stride, uh
i used to hustle, baggin’ up weed
but wasn’t smart enough to separate my wants from needs
i was smokin’ with the crew for fun
all the while losin’ funds
burnin’ all my tree
i tried to be a thug
fightin’ with mothaf-ckas and tearin’ up the club
i don’t know what it was
i needed that direction
to deal with my aggression
instead of pullin’ weapons
squeezin’ slugs
yeah i was broke
rarely had dope
we had to ante up smoke
sayin’ what i wrote with hope
i told myself, “you want change, that’s cool
remember change starts with you”

[hook: guilty simpson & sample] x2
it’s true…
it’s true
yeah, it’s true
it’s true

[verse 2: guilty simpson]
i didn’t have the discipline to stick with it
to be a football star, experimentin’ with the bottle
ignorin’ positive role models
plus my homeboy had a car, sh-t
yeah we was ghostin’
visitin’ chicks, skippin’ school
at the time, i thought it was cool
sh-t, i had an older woman, but didn’t know nothin’
she had another man, i was just a fool, f-ck it
i tried college
mama said “son, you gotta do better”
kicked out first semester
beefin’ with the locals over stuff
that i didn’t give a f-ck about
what they did, so we bucked it out
too much pride
to let somebody’s bullsh-t ride
so i would happily shoot the five
yeah, i needed change but i had to tell myself
“you want change, you start with you”

[hook] x2

[outro: guilty simpson]
it’s true
that’s that realness
dice game
it’s true
