Where the Truth Lies

The truth lies between silence wisdom, knowledge, and deception it lies between politicians and big business men supreme court judges and prosecutors who be doing the sentencing and the ones who know are too afraid to come forward because fear is what they be living in, and why I fight to expose the truth the ones who fight to keep it hidden be collecting big checks and counting their dividends The Truth lies between stupidity and ignorance a lot of niggas talk that gangsta, gang banging trappin, gun totting, killa life they tell me to get it how I live so I'm livin Christ-Like the truth lies between family ties and business partners, peace makers, risk takers the ones that wanna see someone do good and the people that we call haters it lies between savoring the moment and those who are outspoken, heartbroken, they say stop snitching or your loved ones gettin a death certificate notice the truth lies between me and them friends and enemies trusting in man and puttin faith in the one who was and who will always be with me
