letra de limping truth - taymay

“limping truth”
int:
they told me, “stand for something.”
i tried
my leg said otherwise

verse 1:
i learned politics from kitchens, not the news
from whispered arguments and unpaid dues
they taught us flags before they taught us facts
taught us how to point fingers, never look back
i watched leaders speak in polished threats
selling fear like hope with different labels on the set
every promise got a body in thе fine print
every speech clean — ‘causе the blood was edited
they call it order when the poor stay quiet
call it freedom when the bombs ain’t near ‘em
i tried to stay neutral — turns out that’s a side
turns out silence got a favorite every time

« if i talk to truth, it limps like me
broken bones don’t march, they testify quietly
i don’t wave flags — i read the cost
i don’t need a hero, i need less loss.»

verse 2:
my leg broke, but not from falling — from stopping
from standing still while the world kept shopping
hospital lights taught me patience and rage
i counted ceiling cracks like days in a cage
they said, “heal up,” but the bill said “pay,”
pain got interest, debt don’t fade
i watched my body argue with my pride
every step a reminder: strength got lied to me my whole life
i used to run from thoughts — now they catch me easy
crutches made time honest, slow and greasy
i learned who visits when you can’t move fast
who needs your power, not your ass
bridge:
they love you standing
they fear you thinking
they clap for motion
they hate the limping

verse 3 (ukraine):

while i learned to walk again, cities learned to burn
ukraine on my screen, but the pain felt stern
kids learning sirens before alphabets
homes turning memories into silhouettes
they debate it in studios, suits untouched
talking borders and numbers, never talking guts
i seen mothers carry silence like coffins
i seen fathers age ten years in one morning
and they’ll call it complex, they’ll call it geopolitics
while a missile makes a bedroom philosophical
i got one broken leg — they got generations snapped
tell me who’s exaggerating facts?
if god watching, he ain’t neutral either
every prayer got a language, every bomb got a supplier
and if my voice shakes — that’s not weakness in tone
that’s history speaking through flesh and bone
«if i talk to truth, it limps like me
broken bones don’t march, they testify quietly
i don’t wave flags — i read the cost
i don’t need a hero, i need less loss.»
outro (spoken):

they asked me where i stand
i said, “where i can.”
sometimes that’s on one leg
sometimes that’s enough
