Moment of Truth
Keith Elam, Christopher Martin
No matter what we face
We must face the moment of truth, baby
They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
We all must meet our moment of truth
The same sheisty cats that you hang with, and do your thang with
Could set you up and wet you up, nigga, peep the language
It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
Or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracks
It doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
But I can't jeopardize, what I have done up to this point
So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
You know I be the master of the who, what, where and why
See when you're shining, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
Always selfish, jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
Down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
'Cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
But just as you'll receive what is coming to you
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
That everyone must meet their moment of truth
Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
You may not know the hardships people don't speak of
It's best to step back, and observe with couth
For we all must meet our moment of truth
Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
Don't fear, things get severe for everybody everywhere
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
The situation that I'm facin' is mad amazin'
To think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
Now I'm contemplatin', in my bedroom pacin'
Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin'
Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy
Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin' high
'Cause all that's gonna do really is accelerate
The anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit before
So I oughta be able to withstand some more
But I'm sweatin' though, my eyes are turnin' red, and yo
I'm ready to lose my mind, but instead I use my mind
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine
My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind
And now some scandalous motherfuckers wanna take what's mine
But they can't take the respect that I've earned in my lifetime
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
So like they say, every dog has its day
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
So I pray, rememberin' the days of my youth
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth
"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
Yo, I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
Another one, is pointed at your weak-ass heart
Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines
You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
Yeah, the bitin'-triflin' niggas, and the studio pranksters
Yo, lookin' at the situation plainly, will you remain G?
Or will you be looked upon strangely?
I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
Revolvin' on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam
While others struggle to juggle tricky metaphors
I explore more, to expose the core
A lot of emcees act stupid to me
And we have yet to see if they can match our longevity
But anyway, it's just another day
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
Styles, smooth but rugged, you can't push or shove it
You dig it and you dug it 'cause like money you love it
The king of monotone, with my own throne
Righteously violent prone, my words bring winds like cyclones
Stormin' your hideout, blockin' out your sunlight
Your image and your business were truly not done right
Throw up your He Allah Now Divine Saviors
You got no hand skills, there's no security to save ya
No pager, no celly, no drop-top Benzy
I came to bring your phony hip-hop to an ending
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
'Cause you must meet your moment of truth
They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
No one is untouchable, no man is bulletproof
We all must meet our moment of truth
No matter what we face
Non importa cosa affrontiamo
We must face the moment of truth, baby
Dobbiamo affrontare il momento della verità, baby
They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do
Dicono che è solitario in cima, in qualsiasi cosa tu faccia
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
Devi sempre guardarti le spalle da quelli intorno a te
Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
Nessuno è invincibile, nessun piano è infallibile
We all must meet our moment of truth
Tutti dobbiamo incontrare il nostro momento di verità
The same sheisty cats that you hang with, and do your thang with
Gli stessi gatti loschi con cui ti aggiri, e fai le tue cose
Could set you up and wet you up, nigga, peep the language
Potrebbero tenderti un agguato e bagnarti, nigga, guarda il linguaggio
It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
È universale, se giochi con il fuoco potrebbe farti male
Or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
O bruciarti, le lezioni sono benedizioni che dovresti imparare
Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracks
Affrontiamo i fatti, anche se gli MC's fanno tracce
It doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
Non significa che dietro le quinte non ci sia sporco da rintracciare
That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
Questo vale per tutti noi, non c'è nessuno di cui fidarsi
It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
È come un sabotaggio, mi ha messo in allerta
But I can't jeopardize, what I have done up to this point
Ma non posso mettere a rischio, quello che ho fatto fino a questo punto
So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
Quindi prenderò più ragazzi, per aiutarmi a gestire tutto
Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
Coltivare, moltiplicare, motivare, o altrimenti moriremo
You know I be the master of the who, what, where and why
Sai che sarò il padrone del chi, cosa, dove e perché
See when you're shining, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
Vedi quando stai brillando, alcuni perdenti vorranno offuscarti
Always selfish, jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
Sempre egoisti, gelosi punk, vorranno tirarti
Down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
Giù, proprio come dei crostacei in un secchio
'Cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
Perché amano, vederti contorcerti come un verme
But just as you'll receive what is coming to you
Ma proprio come riceverai ciò che ti spetta
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
Anche tutti gli altri avranno il loro
I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
Non sono un santo, quindi non posso negare
That everyone must meet their moment of truth
Che tutti devono incontrare il loro momento di verità
Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
Le azioni hanno reazioni, non essere veloce nel giudicare
You may not know the hardships people don't speak of
Potresti non conoscere le difficoltà di cui le persone non parlano
It's best to step back, and observe with couth
È meglio fare un passo indietro, e osservare con tatto
For we all must meet our moment of truth
Perché tutti dobbiamo incontrare il nostro momento di verità
Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
A volte devi scavare a fondo, quando i problemi si avvicinano
Don't fear, things get severe for everybody everywhere
Non temere, le cose si aggravano per tutti ovunque
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Perché succedono cose brutte a persone buone?
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
Sembra che la vita sia solo una guerra costante tra il bene e il male
The situation that I'm facin' is mad amazin'
La situazione che sto affrontando è pazzesca
To think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
Pensare che tali problemi possano sorgere da piccole controversie
Now I'm contemplatin', in my bedroom pacin'
Ora sto contemplando, nella mia camera da letto passeggiando
Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin'
Nuvole scure sopra la mia testa, il mio cuore sta correndo
Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy
Suicidio? Nah, non sono un tipo stupido
Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin' high
Non ho nemmeno voglia di bere, o di farmi una canna
'Cause all that's gonna do really is accelerate
Perché tutto quello che farà davvero è accelerare
The anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
Le ansie che vorrei poter alleviare
But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit before
Ma aspetta, ho passato un sacco di altre cose prima
So I oughta be able to withstand some more
Quindi dovrei essere in grado di resistere a un po' di più
But I'm sweatin' though, my eyes are turnin' red, and yo
Ma sto sudando, i miei occhi si stanno arrossando, e yo
I'm ready to lose my mind, but instead I use my mind
Sono pronto a perdere la testa, ma invece uso la mia mente
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine
Metto giù il coltello, e tolgo i proiettili dalla mia nove
My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind
Il mio unico crimine, è che sono troppo dannatamente gentile
And now some scandalous motherfuckers wanna take what's mine
E ora alcuni figli di puttana scandalosi vogliono prendere ciò che è mio
But they can't take the respect that I've earned in my lifetime
Ma non possono prendere il rispetto che ho guadagnato nella mia vita
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
E sai che non fermeranno mai la furiosa forza delle mie rime
So like they say, every dog has its day
Quindi come dicono, ogni cane ha il suo giorno
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
E come dicono, Dio lavora in modi misteriosi
So I pray, rememberin' the days of my youth
Quindi prego, ricordando i giorni della mia giovinezza
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth
Mentre mi preparo a incontrare il mio momento di verità
"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
"Conoscerai la verità e la verità ti renderà libero"
Yo, I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
Yo, ho un testo puntato alla tua testa per iniziare
Another one, is pointed at your weak-ass heart
Un altro, è puntato al tuo debole cuore
Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines
Ora se premo il grilletto, su queste linee completamente cariche
You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes
Vorrai che avessi tirato fuori una nove nera, io mack dimes
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
Spezzo le spalle dei finti gangster
Yeah, the bitin'-triflin' niggas, and the studio pranksters
Sì, i niggas mordaci-trifolati, e gli scherzi in studio
Yo, lookin' at the situation plainly, will you remain G?
Yo, guardando la situazione chiaramente, rimarrai G?
Or will you be looked upon strangely?
O sarai guardato in modo strano?
I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
Io regno come l'articolatore, con i dati più grandi
Revolvin' on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam
Girando sul TASCAM molto più tosto della mia ultima jam
While others struggle to juggle tricky metaphors
Mentre altri lottano per gestire metafore complicate
I explore more, to expose the core
Esploro di più, per esporre il nucleo
A lot of emcees act stupid to me
Molti emcees agiscono stupidamente con me
And we have yet to see if they can match our longevity
E dobbiamo ancora vedere se possono eguagliare la nostra longevità
But anyway, it's just another day
Ma comunque, è solo un altro giorno
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
Un altro falso jack che uccido con la mia spettacolare rappresentazione rap

You dig it and you dug it 'cause like money you love it
Lo scavate e lo scavate perché come il denaro lo amate
The king of monotone, with my own throne
Il re del monotono, con il mio trono
Righteously violent prone, my words bring winds like cyclones
Giustamente incline alla violenza, le mie parole portano venti come cicloni
Stormin' your hideout, blockin' out your sunlight
Tempestando il tuo nascondiglio, bloccando la tua luce solare
Your image and your business were truly not done right
La tua immagine e il tuo business non sono stati fatti bene
Throw up your He Allah Now Divine Saviors
Alza le tue He Allah Now Divine Saviors
You got no hand skills, there's no security to save ya
Non hai abilità manuali, non c'è sicurezza per salvarti
No pager, no celly, no drop-top Benzy
Nessun cercapersone, nessun cellulare, nessuna decappottabile Benzy
I came to bring your phony hip-hop to an ending
Sono venuto per portare il tuo finto hip-hop a una fine
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
La mia arte della guerra ti lascerà dolorante per l'abuso

It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
