Speak Your Truth Lyrics
Do you trust me?
Do you truly trust me?
Do you trust me to hurt you?
Do you trust me to come within an inch of destroying you?
If you can't get past the disbelief and denial
Its mischief for a while sleep within [?]
I'll be the first one to explain it
Complaints they brainless not the point see beyond it to maintain it
This is interest fading from what I'm saying but save it later brain says it's minor but its really major
Like in an act of flavours but all bitter
Take riddance trash quitters
Yes-men slither
As the moon droops
Possess blend into the crowd as exhumed loops
Troops churn as groups earn
The cycle fails to learn as the world burns
But really it's a matter of truth
Say what you think of your reality (?)
Unified by stories told
You may be young or old
But theres no age on a soul
And no date on respect
What im sayin you have to hear (have to hear)
I hope your smiles come back after the tears (after the tears)
Are you willing to be rude? (are you willing to be rude?)
You can't be friends without the truth (can't be friends without the truth)
Do you truly trust me?
Do you trust me to hurt you?
Do you trust me to come within an inch of destroying you?
If you can't get past the disbelief and denial
Its mischief for a while sleep within [?]
I'll be the first one to explain it
Complaints they brainless not the point see beyond it to maintain it
This is interest fading from what I'm saying but save it later brain says it's minor but its really major
Like in an act of flavours but all bitter
Take riddance trash quitters
Yes-men slither
As the moon droops
Possess blend into the crowd as exhumed loops
Troops churn as groups earn
The cycle fails to learn as the world burns
But really it's a matter of truth
Say what you think of your reality (?)
Unified by stories told
You may be young or old
But theres no age on a soul
And no date on respect
What im sayin you have to hear (have to hear)
I hope your smiles come back after the tears (after the tears)
Are you willing to be rude? (are you willing to be rude?)
You can't be friends without the truth (can't be friends without the truth)
They work against you in the closest moments
(?) notions, no devotion
Fast foward, no slow motion
Know know it
Because you need to see it
Frame by frame with no shame til you can free it
The playback might be a stronger react, one or two
Memorys individual no matter what you do
So look back with a laugh and grain of salt
I do that and take a stab at the pain of it all
The silent fall, its hard to be bigger in a world where everyone Thinks they're a skyscraper
Who's a Burj Khalifa?
Who's just beneath the
Surface feeders waitin to snatch that leg
And hold you down to beg
For time and attention and more
Hearts don't pour
Art can't soar
Can't speak truth versus law
(?) to pain
People can't sit down
Strong (?) rage
When evil's a mask, unfounded
Alarm sounded but chase the wrong person
Truth passed over for lies always lurkin
(?) notions, no devotion
Fast foward, no slow motion
Know know it
Because you need to see it
Frame by frame with no shame til you can free it
The playback might be a stronger react, one or two
Memorys individual no matter what you do
So look back with a laugh and grain of salt
I do that and take a stab at the pain of it all
The silent fall, its hard to be bigger in a world where everyone Thinks they're a skyscraper
Who's a Burj Khalifa?
Who's just beneath the
Surface feeders waitin to snatch that leg
And hold you down to beg
For time and attention and more
Hearts don't pour
Art can't soar
Can't speak truth versus law
(?) to pain
People can't sit down
Strong (?) rage
When evil's a mask, unfounded
Alarm sounded but chase the wrong person
Truth passed over for lies always lurkin
What im sayin you have to hear (have to hear)
I hope your smiles come back after the tears (after the tears)
Are you willing to be rude? (are you willing to be rude?)
You can't be friends without the truth (can't be friends without the truth)
[How long you think it takes to get famous for a musician?
Whatever famous
Four years?
You gotta do your work the whole time when youre not doing (?)
But im talkin the same kinda work, the same styles so people can recognize you and don't get confused, you know?
And once youre famous, airborne, ya know?
You gotta keep doin in the same way
Even after its boring unless you want people to really get mad at you. which... they will anyway]

I made the drums on this beat by using a trick with a limiter on a loop. It was the first time I’d done that before and have flipped shit that way a couple more times since.
