lyrics
She told me when the going gets tough my response is returning to the ether.
I can't deny that.
I tried to be a good sport, but I feel like God is booing from the bleachers.
But I can't tell her that.
They told me that the truth will set you free.
But it seems it was a lie, all it does is sting.
Yeah, that's right, the truth hurts. And that's all that it's good for.
It goes for the heart, and pain killers can't take the edge off.
I figure that's why she told my ass to step off.
'cause truth doesn't mean a happy ending.
Lies treat reality just like a bag of sensi.
Spark a flame and set the world a haze.
Deceit makes sure you and yours maintains.
The fraudulent existence that's gets you through the day.
Skeletons are cool if they're stashed in the closet.
Just make sure your conscience never cares to unlock it.
You see deceit is the padding that keep you alive,
when you fall off the edge. It's really no surprise
that it works that way. Hey, tell me this.
If I told you the truth, could you handle that shit?
Or would it be too heavy for your tired hands to lift?
See, I think the latter. When the truth is unveiled.
Trust commits suicide, confidence is shattered.
Dreams yellin' “Mayday!” and then plummets faster.
Honesty is like a damn natural disaster.
Hurricane Katrina's little bastard.
I really hate to be such a downer.
But every time I kick a little verity it seems like the plan backfires.
Truth in an interview won't get you hired.
Truth in your music doesn't get what you desire.
Like, money, cars, clothes and fans that admire.
Life would be easier if I was just a liar.
Baby, I swear it wasn't me. Your girlfriends are crazy.
That bitch is lyin'. That ain't my baby.
Nah, honestly, it's cool. We'll get through it together.
I'll never you lonely. My love will never let up.
See, I was chillin' wit' the homies at the park.
Shootin' ball. Nah, mama, I don't pump crack at all.
Man I don't know it got there. It's not my gun.
I'm a non-violent man, I ain't held a piece once.
See, I can be your everything. I ain't never front.
Girl, I'm here to get to know you, not to get your bones jumped.
Look, you just have to trust me. See, if you tell anybody.
Everybody's gonna blame you and not me.
Well, all I want is honesty, I just want a good man.
Sure looks are cool, but, what about beneath?
Your friends don't judge you. Your ex still wants you.
And no matter what, dude, God still loves you.
I grabbed this album for two reasons.
After hearing 'That Grit', I knew Hassaan was a beast on the mic.
Apollo is one of the two best Browns in the game today. Can't sleep on Kev Brown.
Anything Apollo Brown puts together is destined to be a soulful masterpiece.
