Benefit - Word of Mouth lyrics

[Hook 1] The truth spreads by word of mouth, let 'em know Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a foe The truth spreads by word of mouth, let 'em know Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a foe The truth spreads by word of mouth, let 'em know Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a foe The truth spreads by word of mouth (echoes) ... yo [Verse: Benefit] I make the dirty beat on Tape with the warble and the flutter And spit it for the poor kid starving in the gutter Who never had love from his father nor his mother So he's probably going to grow up robbing from his brother Never taught to respect the truth Now he's home by himself just a neglected youth And he's turning on the radio to bump it alone And listen to the music these companies pump in his home Now he's sunk in the zone, absorbing every single word that sunk in his dome His dad's drunk and he's gone So how is he supposed to know what's right from wrong And know that these guys lie when they're writing their song And know that the rich use it dividing the strong? He won't know it, he's just bobbing his head riding along Just then, he hears a knock on his door His friend's coming to pick him up to stop at the store Now this bigger fellow's going to pick up some cigarillos Pressing the gas with his velcro shell toes In the car, he notices a track playing And he starts paying attention to what the rap's saying “Hey yo man this is ill, who is this?” “it's Benefit” “Benefit? Who's Benefit?” “Benefit's the dopest in the history of music on earth Kicking rappers out the game for abusing the turf And you should listen again if it's confusing at first You're not used to the fusion of flow with the views interspersed So many dead emcees after he's using his verse He should get a side hustle and just cruise in a hearse Music's a drug, he's got them abusing it worse Than the fiend at the shop pawning her shoes and her purse His style's explosive like a missile dropped bomb Want the truth? go to benefitofficial.com" [Hook 2] The truth spreads by word of mouth... (4x) Benefit's back, tell 'em all, let 'em know Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a foe Benefit's back, you can tell by the flow Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a foe [Outro] The spectacular rap vernacular's back!
