Truth decay brush up on your facts.
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice


Truth is truth 
No matter what I think 
Knowledge is power 
But it ain't
If you cant occupy your own body & mind
See thru the blind
In this place full a lies 
Television tellin lies 
To your vision and face
Seems like more of us in prison
Than the workplace
Gettin gadgets 
So it's easy to forget
Economics
No money
Not a damn thing funny 
Some diggin every minute of it
I'm hatin every second of it
Driven 
Ever since I heard the lie about thanksgiving
While in still thankful through all that fibbin
The truth dies while lies make a living
History games
Playing stealing family names
Slave names turned into government names
Name of the game is to hide that game 
And them lies living on with no shame ..no lie


Truth decay brush up on your facts.
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just dismiss us
But enlist us to grow and pick their stuff


Truth is truth 
No matter what I think 
I ain't drunk 
Cause I don't drink
Don't smoke
Or
Laugh at the facts like stupid ass jokes
Or get lost in my own sauce, I check the source
I challenge information 
Trace it to the boss
Refuse to accept the truth
When it be be lost
Lies in the key of new songs
You think it's old news
How come the young don't know
It ain't new because you never knew
I tell them, it's only new to you 
Opinion is what it is and its up to you
The challenge information 
To see if it's true
Never have so many been screwed by so few
You heard I'm using it for this song too
Damn crooks 
Ask a question get some stupid ass looks
Truth don't sell a lotta records or books 
To hell with rapes to murder rates
To lyin on a mixtapes
I want the truth


Truth decay brush up on your facts.
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they just miss us
But enlist us to fight for their justice
Truth decay brush up on your facts.
All you gotta do is check them stats
But what sense is a census
When they forget us
