Truth be told
A nigga might stab you in the back
Without using a knife
And you'll never know
Got these crooked ass cops
On my back tryna catch me in a trap
They wanna see me on the floor
I got so many enemies, the world is against me
They tryna tempt me, this world is cold
So cold, this world is cold
This time around
I'ma let the truth be told
I'm lost and I don't know which way to go
It's like I'm stuck in the middle of this empty road
And all this pressure got me feeling like I'm bout to explode
Niggas I thought was my friends done turned enemy
And ever since I put my faith in God, he delivered me
People surrounding me, living they life in misery
Done came a long way and my past is all history
And I ain't going back for shit, you couldn't pay me
And people see the shit that I got and think it's gravy
My mother worked hard for both me and my sister
And try her best to keep me up out of the system
I'm proof you ain't gotta do shit to be a victim
Of these crooked cops that act like dogs when you tell them sic em
I'm black and that's a fact and I wouldn't change for nothing
The truth is I gotta work twice as hard for something
Truth be told
A nigga might stab you in the back
Without using a knife
And you'll never know
Got these crooked ass cops
On my back tryna catch me in a trap
They wanna see me on the floor
I got so many enemies, the world is against me
They tryna tempt me, this world is cold
So cold, this world is cold
Once again I asked for my daddy at
Never around when I need him
Only at his convenience
God forgive me when I said I'd kill him, I ain't mean it
And I forgive him too, it's hard for me to greet him
Know he love me but he never show it
And if it wasn't for my mother I'd be in the hood, I know it
Single mother, one sister, her big brother
My only option is to make it, there's no other
God gave me a gift, it's up for me to use it
And life's obstacles sometimes make me lose it
Sometimes I gotta cry, cause it hurt like hell
Sometimes I wish I wasn't born, in this life for real
Suicidal thoughts crossed my mind once before
Almost lost my mind several times before
But now it's up to me to let my truth be told
And this pain inside is hard letting it go
Truth be told
A nigga might stab you in the back
Without using a knife
And you'll never know
Got these crooked ass cops
On my back tryna catch me in a trap
They wanna see me on the floor
I got so many enemies, the world is against me
They tryna tempt me, this world is cold
So cold, this world is cold
So cold, so cold, so cold
So cold, so cold, so cold
Truth be told
A nigga might stab you in the back
Without using a knife
And you'll never know
Got these crooked ass cops
On my back tryna catch me in a trap
They wanna see me on the floor
I got so many enemies, the world is against me
They tryna tempt me, this world is cold
So cold, this world is cold
Truth be told
A nigga might stab you in the back
Without using a knife
And you'll never know
Got these crooked ass cops
On my back tryna catch me in a trap
They wanna see me on the floor
I got so many enemies, the world is against me
They tryna tempt me, this world is cold
So cold, this world is cold
