Pete Cannon - The Truth Is lyrics

The truth is, that I couldn't give two sh**s If you think I'm a huge dick, then the shoe fits But I'm a chuck a size 11 boot until you're toothless On my own at your show, telling you ya crew's b**h Watch the mood switch, crazy to insane They say I got a chemical imbalance in my brain I ain't different, them lot are the same Forget the fame, this ain't a game, I'm tryna wrestle with my pain Can you feel it? Yeah! I know that you can feel it You might think I'm wack but can't deny that I'm the realest I ain't a pessimist, pathetic pricks, I'm just a realist Were born to die so crawl inside I'll show you what the deal is I don't a need a deal b**h, I live to smash the show I know that with the majors I'd have major cash to blow Tinchy Strider had a number 1, I'm happy for the bloke But that don't change the fact I want to stab him in his throat See raps a ma**ive joke but I ain't laughing at it though Everybody's stacking that imaginary dough I don't care if you're the type to aim the strap & let it go I'll tell you to your face that I think your pathetic bro Cause real recognise real, & all I see is strangers Just a bunch of try hards, tryna make it famous I used to do it to escape but I just wasted ages Now I'm tryna find myself inside the words I pen on pages See that's what happens once you stick your head inside the matrix It's hard to fathom like the very second life's created I used to over an*lyse but took it back to basics Once I double necked a couple reds & woke up on that space ship So while you agents shape shift, I'll continued to evolve Until I can see the world in binary code Try comprehending it, your mind will explode And I'll be on that Bill Hicks roller coaster, riding home Reporting life, live from inside my dome Where even my inner demons are scared to the spend the night alone Keep ya plastic happiness, I'm tryna find my own And I get closer every single time I hold the microphone You can tell just but my tone, that I mean every word I say I'm focused on the truth, they're focused on a turn of phrase It took me until now to snap but it was worth the wait Cos I've learned more about myself with every track I burnt to date And id trade every single penny that I've ever worked to make For a chance to earn my place before I hit that early grave Cos even though the system got my vision turning grey I still believe in love within this bitter world of hate This is for my listeners, sitting burning grade For the little me, digging in my mother's purse for change For every other mistake I've had the nerves to make Cos they're the reason I became the person that I am today So if you're thinking, who the hell are you? I'm the one dude left that still chooses to tell the truth Every day I do something that they'll never do I live for my art, they think the culture is for revenue I do need to collect the odd cheque or two For rent, not to mention the brews that I'm getting through But I'm a rebel when I pen a tune So if ya stepping to my crew, I bet ya get ya effing head removed Art over money, Love over everything That's why id die for my music & my next of kin Sometimes I get stressed, get mad depressed & think To end it all, but rest a**ured the pessimist will never win Cos there's optimist hidden deep inside me An honest voice of hope that only ever speaks silently And you can hear it, you just gotta listen close enough Cos its only ever heard on those occasions that I open up I'm extrovertly introverted So if you think my bars are just bag of jokes You must have missed the purpose Sometimes you got to dig beneath a hidden surface Pick apart the words I guarantee you'll see a different person Listen to the verses, I admit it isn't perfect But I refuse to spoon feed you news week, it isn't worth it Think deep; speak dumb, I'm a cryptic wordsmith Cos my soul's so philosophical but my brain is ill equipped to serve it And I've never written one bar for the listener I'm just tryna map the meaning of my thoughts out onto A4 Sometimes I get trapped inside my mind like I'm a prisoner But I escape my demons when I walk across the stage floor The microphones my confidante, my confessions rhythm based I shed my insecurities on beats and hope they dissipate Destiny is manmade, there's no such thing as fate So While you marvel at the stars, I'll be investigating inner space Cause some of us were never made to fit in So over time we learnt to generated a thick skin They say Life's too short, celebrate existing I say life's too long, get blazed & swig gin Bring the fat lady, I'm dying hear the b**h sing Up in court shouting f** the law as the pigs grin See I live where the quids king sh**'s grim, but wait until reality kicks in Yeah, I know man, I'll Crack a brew with ya Back a few, strap a zoot, slap a few hipsters My fam's like, what's with the attitude Mr As I paper over cracks with a pack of blue rizla You get the picture, I just say nothin' When in reality I'm up late pacing All ever is hear that I should stay patient And things will get better but they just ain't changing, nah It's more of the same old Brain waves, say that I'm a slave to the pain so I look for love I once lost on the way home I need more than my name embossed on a grave stone They don't, they need to be famous I'm tryna supersede the human greed that seems to plagues us From stories in the news you see or choose to read in papers We define ourselves with terms they use to separate us So this is dedicated to all of my Haters To every radio DJ that never played us To artists, to promoters who's asked me for a favour ‘Til I need one in return & then they treat me like a stranger Later, don't think I'll forget because I won't I got love for everybody that was honest when we spoke But to everyone who thinks that I'm a failure cos I'm broke You're a joke & I stand by every word I've ever wrote
