Luyện nghe bài hát Truth Is

[Black
Hey yo
you look at me and my brothers what's your first impression
Does the sight of us leave you or do you understand the stressin
The aggression, the of no hope on me and my niggaz faces
Like the lord us when he handed down his graces
You see embraces, fall on the numb tips of street entrepeneur fingers
Still stuck in the walls of the project halls where the coke smell still
External blingers is all we can be cause on the inside we given nothin to shine on
And a record deal's harder to get than coke, so my niggaz get they on
Cause the TV tells us, aim high nigga, all goals lateral
But see that takes paper we don't have so, niggaz put they souls up as collateral
Now, some niggaz reclaim 'em, blame 'em, make an excuse to sell 'em
But when a nigga goes from not to doin, what can you tell him?
Not to be a nigga? Shit I to be a nigga, that's how I pay the bills
And I'ma do that whether I got to sling coke or exploit these rhyme skills
See America makes you an opportunist, and at the same time institutionalize you
So the that niggaz get, big record deals
big money and go to jail surprise you
what lies do, you see most of these guys
do have raw talent an infinitile education
So the business feed you all the weed and
and a little bit of to provide some pacification
from all the bullshit they serve you
Meanwhile they corrupt perception of what the real is
See they takin all our businessmen, and 'em the mindsets of drug dealers
Took all our messengers, 'em rappers
just flappin jaws afraid to admit their treason
Took all our for the cause, made 'em killers for no reason
And bein up, well that's in this season
So, if you're negative you're positive, and if you're positive called a hater
But I maintain control of my soul cause I know it greater later
And I told y'all the last show shit, a nigga no hater, I just know what the is
Been intertwined in this puddin for 'bout a year now so I know the proof is
See, it lines these midtown Manhattan
where former like myself sign papers
and pull off capers like, 16 infamous stars of the time
got us choppin and, baggin and
servin that shit to niggaz 16 at a time now
The crime is undetectable by the
cause in heads of our kids is the track is
And music is potent it's to the soul
so it's much more addictive crack is
Now, the high is an illusion all lies and confusion
But to feel that rush just once, my young go through it
So in essence, they floodin the streets with the thugs, drugs and the killing
They just usin these labels to do it
Takin our off demos, puttin us in limos
tryin to up divine direction
But, young black men been trained to chase money
and pussy, so we fall to our own erection
And to convince ourselves we're on our way somewhere where we're not goin
But ignorance is bliss and niggaz love this so, niggaz take in not knowin
We not growin, nigga I give a fuck how slick you
if you ain't showin nuttin to kids or addin nuttin positive to the earth
Black Ice been destined to touch the world since I was born
To be real, a record deal, God gives me what I'm worth
