[00:00.00]Truth B Told - Killah Priest
[00:15.78]Stephen King never wrote a scene as horrific
[00:17.59]As God as my witness
[00:18.82]What I write should make you artists suspicious
[00:20.74]Pardon a ni**a as I say what's in my heart
[00:22.96]I guess it's just part of me venting
[00:24.51]'Cause like you I'm from the park and the benches
[00:26.53]So what can I lose
[00:27.32]We'll make a conscious decision
[00:28.67]'Cause I'm known to spaz when
[00:29.78]I'm asked my remarks on this business
[00:31.62]In this game of do you and regardless of friendship
[00:33.92]So excuse me when you reach
[00:35.36]For my palms and part of me flinches
[00:36.93]It's not you dog it's the critics
[00:38.42]They might catch me in the flick
[00:39.72]Drunk with some strippers
[00:40.73]And my girl see it as part of
[00:42.10]Some sick photographer vengeance
[00:43.96]So many new people around
[00:45.30]I gotta be sharp when in attendance
[00:47.03]I mean it's great to MC
[00:48.34]To display this art is a privilege
[00:50.29]But now I gotta get down to darken my sentence
[00:52.32]I dream of dead babies streams of blood
[00:54.58]Raining fire and brimstone
[00:55.90]Wipe the Earth clean with floods
[00:57.41]I'm drowning my face next to the meanest thug
[00:59.73]I'm telling my testimony to the supreme above
[01:02.24]Ain't I from thy genes
[01:03.49]The Priest was a king beloved
[01:04.89]Then there appeared a bright
[01:05.96]Beam with white wings of a dove
[01:07.42]It's lightning people screamed and shoved
[01:09.48]It's frightening but I kept writing 'cause
[01:11.14]What I seen was the judge
[01:12.58]And what he shown me where grave sites and crucifixes
[01:15.12]Ruthless b**ches how they treat you
[01:16.77]And what they do to your riches
[01:17.98]For thirty pieces of silver niggas will kill you
[01:20.04]I read Judas' scriptures
[01:21.26]Only warned me to be true to my niggas
[01:22.98]The game corrupt like Catholic Church
[01:24.56]And child nudity pictures
[01:25.97]That's like the Virgin Mary performing Karma Sutra with Hitler
[01:28.84]The proof of my liquor is 180
[01:30.33]The Grey Goose in my liver
[01:31.46]But I still spit truth to the listener
[01:32.68]That's enough son
[01:34.21]Session up stop
[01:34.95]No hold up let me explain a second
[01:36.97]I signed my first deal with Geffen Records
[01:39.04]I told those crackers
[01:39.91]I ain't no motherf**ker stepping fetched
[01:41.47]To my recollection those bastards
[01:43.50]Were like"cool we'll drop
[01:44.86]You have our A&R go find the next one"
[01:46.67]I said I'll sue they said"that's alright Blacky
[01:48.89]Take us to court and your lawyer Larry Stud Nicky
[01:51.45]We've been breaking him off" I almost felt ruined
[01:53.81]And in the midst of the confusion
[01:55.22]They said to motherf**king intern
[01:56.98]"Sam we don't understand his music"
[01:58.81]"And how the f**k we market this
[02:00.39]He talking all that God Body and that prophet sh*t"
[02:02.84]I said"damn but it's still street
[02:04.87]It's real niggas can relate to it"
[02:06.50]In return they said"Priest throw that sh*t in the sewage"
[02:09.89]Meanwhile niggas like Nas and 'Kiss and Pun
[02:12.06]Is telling me I'm nice down to G Rap and KRS-One
[02:15.01]And GZA told me all this sh*t would happen
[02:17.03]Just keep rapping
[02:18.03]I said"that's piece God but
[02:19.20]I ain't motherf**king tapping"
[02:20.37]But still these labels our f**king with me it's Priest
[02:23.20]Volume One ni**a sh*t about to get ugly
[02:26.79]Let me explain a second;
[02:29.00]Just let me explain to y'all
[02:29.86]You know what I mean
[02:31.47]I'ma tell ya the truth
[02:32.65]For all the cats coming up
