The Truth by Ameer Ali Lyrics
Prod. By Questlove
[Intro]
Yea
Okay
[1st Verse]
The rap game is full of ignorance
The streets are too
Kids pretendin' to be thugs
That's not an issue
Oh sorry I'm not tryna start
A conversation with you
I'm just tryna paint a picture
Of this generation with you
And I don't even need to use
My imagination with you
Use the color of the truth
That is right in you
Open your eyes to the world
And see what's goin' on
Black and white will still
Be killin' each other till the day we all gone
But I'm not tryna spread negativity
Just tryna make a change
I hope you learn somethin' from this
I hope they learn how to change
'Cause they need it
We can't go on no more
We can't hold on no more
I've been strong for far too long
But I lost my grip
But I gotta get back up
'Cause I'm a role model for these kids
Who ain't never had shit
Who never had a friend
Who never had a home
Who never had a parents
Who always been alone
[Chours 2x]
I don't see the bigger picture
I see behind the scenes
I'm like Martin Luther King
I also had a dream
A dream of a sweet home
And peace
Somewhere far away from
The middle east
[2nd Verse]
I don't know what it's like to be loved
'Cause I been hated
Pushed out of this society
'Cause it's racist
But I love my friends
No matter what color they are
No matter what religion the follow
In my eyes they are stars
A human is a human and
Nobody can change that
Ameer on the Mic spittin'
Undeniable facts
So much ugliness in the world
Nobody care about
The homeless who has nothin'
But a cold broken heart
And here I am cryin' tears and tears
Over that
'Cause I remember I was just like him
In the past
And I can do nothin' 'bout that
Other than writin' these words
This song is just message that
I wanna send to the lord
I'm just askin' for blessings
For my poor people
See the power of the money man
It so evil
I don't feel like we all are
Treated equal ah
In a world where love is just a door
And money is the key still
[Chours 2x]
I don't see the bigger picture
I see behind the scenes
I'm like Martin Luther King
I also had a dream
A dream of a sweet home
And peace
Somewhere far away from
The middle east
[Bridge]
Love me or hate me
I'm the voice of the truth
Hate me or love me
I'm the voice of the youth
Love me or hate me
I'm the voice of the truth
Hate me or love me
I'm the voice of the youth
[Outro]
I came from far far away
Chasin' dreams and all that
On my way to shine
We saw a lotta of things
We saw negative, we saw positive
We saw the worst
But we always hope to see the best
You know
The Truth
Broken childhood memories
