Do you want respect, or do you want truth? [Verse 1:] Life's too short to be afraid of the dark And we don't stop after making the mark Separate your chest from your heart To help everybody wag your tail with a lot less bark Put the costume angst away I was born on the year of the razorblade I'm in the back corner of a one way train This storm ain't nothing but Sunday rain Let's go [Hook:] (Do you want respect, or do you want truth?) Get a taste of your soul when you hold breath (Do you want respect, or do you want truth?) We act like we got a whole lot of road left (Do you want respect, or do you want truth?) So don't mind if I drive with the top down (Do you want respect, or do you want truth?) Let me know that you know what you want now [Verse 2:] Earthbound, aim for the soft spot So much purpose I walk like a molotov Shot gla**, rock hard, penetrate nonstop Cops on the way with the bomb squad Now let it be known We're trying to get ahead before we get a headstone But a rich man still face d**h alone That's why we turn up the touch and connect the tone Get shown [Hook] [Verse 3:] Dashboard ain't clean as it was Back before I first took the last seat on this bus But the children dance when we beat the drums And they still understand why we speak in tongues All city, American built A pocket full of cash take care of the guilt The crabs all crash in a barrell of milk But when they clear the snow I'mma steer the Seville It goes, look for the sign, wait for the right time A lifetime to outlive the night time And when the paint chips fall Gonna find my name on the wall with the crown in the skyline I keep bad on the back of my mind I'm an average guy, I just happen to fly Supernatural high and I'm laughing inside One nation with a capital I Come on [Hook] [Verse 4:] Everybody wanna be the next to blow So let it flow, so fresh it grow Just to let you know I could let you go, ho ho Millenium Do-Re-Mi-So-Fa-La-Ti-Do-Do Everybody's difficult, everybody's simple We all on d**h row, we all gon' tip toe I run with kleptos, I still wear big clothes Hold my dick the way you hold your crystals Pissing in the middle of nowhere Fishing in a lake full of frozen tears I'm like a polar bear from the Southside of over there I disappear into the open air, Atmosphere Get a taste of your soul when you hold breath We act like we got a whole lot of road left
