I know we all tell a few little lies here and there
but i'ma tell u the truth, not what u wanna hear
for your sake and mine i try to make things clear
so 99 percent of the time there's no faking here
but it gets tough when some cant handle the truth
they dont believe it even if u hand them the proof
so i get caught in a catch 22, dont know what to do
when they lyin to my face, what they say aint true
why you presenting a fake image nah that aint you
and some cant accept that i expect the same respect
that i give them, so i ditch them, im quick to jet
on those who are indirect because thats disrespect
dont care about who's feelings ur tryin to protect
so don't misrepresent the truth, just dont bullshit
cause in the end your the one left lookin stupid
still on that high school shit, you're so foolish
we all make up lies and try to use these excuses
to justify the stupid shit that we doin, truth is
im one of the few real left that will admit to it
at least i dont believe my lies, got too much pride
believe me i tried but couldnt accept it in my mind
i never felt good about myself when i started lyin
and i never remembered the lies so i stopped tryin
to deceive those around me, knew it was pointless
so i stay honest even if u dont get the point quick
but the point is the truth sets me free instantly
and im gonna tell you something a wise man told me
the reason people lie and tend to live in a fantasy
is cuz they arent happy with their current reality
so they adjust it to fit what lets them live happily
