letra de truth - david strickland

[verse 1]
take notice from great focus, new times approach us
giving doses and see who comes the closest
one dose of fear, fake natives disappear
i put posers on posters, i’m like this all year
aw, yeah, and my natives is all here
we worldwide and our visions is all clear
i’m straight out the slums where i’m banging and draggin’ drums
i ain’t bragging, but i’m draggin’ bodies across the sun
never settled for levels, jumped outta the cage
i love writing ’til my words jump outta the page
from my words you can see sounds
punks jump up to get beat down
my whole crew’s from the underground
to survive you gotta dodge shots, watch for cops
if it’s up to them, your life’s gon’ stop
that’s the plot, watch how it thickens
history repeats itself ’cause it was written

[chorus]
seek truth, be you, in the rearview
reflect, respect ’til they hear you
shine bright, be the light in the clear view
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
[verse 2]
my bars are barbiturates barrin’ any ‘biturate
rap prime minister, spark with my constitutes
came before columbus, correspond with the indigenous
we got ’em on bendin’ on their knees and callin kapernick for this
a birth of a nation, a verse for the first nation
it’s verbatim, my words and verbs blazin’
by any means necessary
my ancestors told that i’m legendary, never secondary, check it
while the masters contemplating the election
we congregatin’, movin’ in the right direction
since the early ’90s made songs referring to the reservation
now it’s elevation, moving to our destination
beats bangin’ and they blare through
sticking to my vision, always lookin through a clear view
punchlines and paragraphs, they teach and tear through
plus, when you speak the truth, you know they gonna fear you

[chorus]
seek truth, be you, in the rearview
reflect, respect ’til they hear you
shine bright, be the light in the clear view
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
do right for the ones that need you
[verse 3]
grandma, hope you proud of me, i put that bottle down
startin’ to fill up slowly, my heart was hollowed out
seen that smile on your face when my hair grew
and all the things you sayin now, i can hear you
i know the questions that i ask can cut deep at times
i hope what i’m doin now can give you piece of mind
i know it reopens wounds that i’m seekin’ facts
but everything they took from you, i’m tryna get it back
it’s a slow walk through the rain in search of lighter weather
and we can talk about the pain if it makes us better
i still deal with feeling worthless, i’m far from perfect
inside of me, it’s this anxiety, it’s got me nervous
but i’m tryin, though
you gotta understand your low isn’t like my low
but i put a smile on my face and say it’s fine, though
keep on digging through the rubbish, you might find gold, so
