Truth Be Told

We as people sometimes really don't know
our worth until something happens life changing
me I got my heart on my sleeve and yeah 
there's a dent in there but for the moment 
it's looking kinda stainless, me I'm living 
off experience so never mind my past,
I was running the streets brainless at 
some point, now I'm back on point 
like a needle in a haystack and I learned 
from experience don't chase that woman
cuz if it's true love she'll come right back
like income tax, my worth is priceless 
I can't be bought and since my kingdom 
is in Heaven spiritual knowledge is what
I was taught, so truth be told me & you,
do the math we ain't equalivent got some 
similarities & differences but thats about it.
