[00:13.41]You always gotta watch mother****ers around you
[00:16.05]Nobody's invincible no plan is foolproof
[00:18.75]We all must meet our moment of truth
[00:20.70]The same sheisty cats that you hang with and do your thang with
[00:24.18]Could set you up and wet you up mother****er peep the language
[00:26.91]It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
[00:29.46]Or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
[00:32.10]Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracks
[00:34.53]It doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
[00:37.20]That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
[00:39.84]It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
[00:42.42]But I can't jeopardize, what I have done up to this point
[00:45.21]So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
[00:47.82]Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
[00:50.64]You know I be the master of the who what where and why
[00:52.44]Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth (from The Lincoln Lawyer (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)) - See when you're ****ing around, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
[00:56.16]Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
[00:58.83]Down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
[01:01.20]'Cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
[01:03.87]But just as you'll receive what is comin' to you
[01:06.78]Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
[01:09.00]I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
[01:11.64]That everyone must meet their moment of truth
[01:14.43]Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
[01:16.71]Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth (from The Lincoln Lawyer (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)) - You may not know the hard-****ing-hits people don't speak of
[01:19.86]It's best to step back, and observe with couth
[01:22.32]For we all must meet our moment of truth
[01:24.84]Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
[01:27.60]Don't fear things get severe for everybody, everywhere
[01:30.36]Why do bad things happen, to good people?
[01:33.06]Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
[01:35.88]The situation that I'm facin', is mad amazin'
[01:38.52]To think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
[01:41.37]Now I'm contemplatin' in my bedroom pacin'
[01:43.59]Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin'
[01:46.17]Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy
[01:48.84]Don't even feel like drinkin' or even gettin' high
[01:51.36]'Cause all that's gonna do really, is accelerate
[01:54.24]The anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
[01:56.76]But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit, before
[01:59.67]So I oughta be able, to withstand some more
[02:02.22]But I'm sweatin' though, my eyes are turnin' red and yo
[02:05.16]I'm ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind
[02:07.77]I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine
[02:10.23]My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind
[02:12.75]And now some skanless mother****ers wanna take what's mine
[02:15.48]But they can't take the respect, that I've earned in my lifetime
[02:18.42]And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
[02:21.06]So like they say, every dog has it's day
[02:23.73]And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
[02:26.25]So I pray, rememberin' the days of my youth
[02:28.74]As I prepare to meet my moment of truth
[02:30.63]You should know the truth
[02:31.17]And the truth shall set you free
[02:39.15]Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
[02:42.36]Another one, is pointed at your weak ass heart
[02:44.61]Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines
[02:47.34]You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes
[02:50.70]Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
[02:52.62]Yeah the bitin' triflin' mother****ers, and the studio pranksters
[02:55.56]Yo lookin' at the situation plainly, will you remain G?
[02:59.28]Or will you be looked upon strangely?
[03:01.05]I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
[03:03.51]Revolvin' on the TASCAM much ****r than my last jam
[03:06.51]While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphots
[03:09.18]I explore more to expose the core
[03:11.64]A lot of MC's act stupid to me
[03:13.89]And we have yet to see if they can match our longevity
[03:17.19]But anyway it's just another day
[03:19.23]Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
[03:22.05]Styles, smooth but rugged you can't push or shove it
[03:24.90]You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it
[03:27.24]The king of monotone, with my own throne
[03:29.91]Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones
[03:33.09]Stormin' your hideout, blockin' out your sunlight
[03:35.55]Your image and your business, were truly not done right
[03:38.43]Throw up your he-Allah-I now, divine saviors
[03:40.77]You got no hand skills there's no security to save ya
[03:43.41]No pager, no celly, no drop top Benzy
[03:46.08]I came to bring your phone hip-hop, to an ending
[03:49.02]My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
[03:51.39]Cause you must meet your moment of truth
[03:53.73]They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do
[03:56.67]You always gotta watch mother****ers around you
[03:59.31]Nobody's invincible no plan is foolproof
[04:02.01]We all must meet our moment of truth
