[Verse 1: Kaplan]
This how you do it now
Ey yao, ey yo, this my word, and it's truthfully spoken
And truthfully, there’s some truth to be broken
I mean, I'm usually scopin'
For the realness in those abusin’ the dopeman
Could use it as a token, for something good to happen, but
I wish that something would, goddamnit
The fact is, no matter how we know what matters
The truth can turn random bastards into backstabbers
Sometimes the truth's so lethal
And things like dough, the root of all evil
Make us do shit we didn't think we could
And persuin' this is somethin' I don't think we should
And truthfully I got so much in my life: beliefs, love, you wouldn't realize
In rap though, I don't take shit, I blaze spliffs
That’s the truth, I had to brake it
[Hook: sample]
I made an oath to speak the truth, so the truth I’m speakin'
See the truth...
I put it on paper, because the truths need to be real
I made an oath to speak the truth, so the truth I’m speakin'
Oath to speak the truth
I put it on paper, because the truths need to be real
See the truth...
[Verse 2: Rewind]
Whatever man, feelin' nothin' and I love it yo, it’s bout to pop off so go shuv it
Why the fuck you buggin'?
Like we didn't struggle
Like we never done did hustlin' 'em stickers of the budget, buddy
Erk and Käp, you know we kept it cool
Smart shit, break laws but respect the rules
Any minute, any second, fool
Any shit that we spit, you know we rep it true (Dirty North!)
Dirty North, with the midnight sun
Yeah, I told you where this kid been from
Laid back, never did like them
Don't like to claim but we never bit our tongues
I see you rappers when the camera stop (move)
Pack it up in a banana box and
As I take the booth, can't fake or loose
Won't make the news, but gotta break the truth
[Hook: sample]
I made an oath to speak the truth, so the truth I'm speakin'
See the truth...
I put it on paper, because the truths need to be real
I made an oath to speak the truth, so the truth I'm speakin'
Oath to speak the truth
I put it on paper, because the truths need to be real
See the truth...
[Verse 3: Kaplan and Rewind]
Biiitch, we gotta break the truth, nothin personal
You're the rapper, breakin' your verse in two
In the booth, truthfully you kinda lame
How you gon pull that biz of rhymin' on stage?
Now, on to sneakyness, sneakin' pieces off your piece fuckin' your peeps
At least be speakin' it
Dick teasin' chick, please just split
Thinkin that she's the shit, Jesus, can't believe these tricks
Can't believe this biz, been in it too long
Like people not knowin how to use the bong
Usually on, some I-know-it-all type of shit
Diduntdidunts, God, I hate that type of bitch
Been grindin', but never got that type of rich
Tryna stay positive but hate that type of piss
And some dudes just don't get it
Fuckin' up the debt and credit, next time fuck it, forget it
[Hook: sample]
I made an oath to speak the truth, so the truth I'm speakin'
See the truth...
I put it on paper, because the truths need to be real
I made an oath to speak the truth, so the truth I'm speakin'
Oath to speak the truth
I put it on paper, because the truths need to be real
See the truth...
