True Lies - Black Milk

Yeah

They told me keep it pure

Caught up in the allure

But see that’s not what I’m looking for

Wasn’t sure

I wanted more

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Yeah

Was born into a hell

So you already feel

They say don’t live life on the edge

Man I might as well

Yeah

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Yeah

Better brace yourself, brace yourself

We’re close to the end, save yourself

You out for the money, make your wealth

Move silent, don’t waste your breath

Do better 'cause they never taught us stocks and bonds

Only taught designer clothes, gold chains rocking charms

So I hardly paid attention, in my hood you feel the tension

Well I’d rather make it flipping than to go pay a tuition

Always listen when they said to hold your head

Lives ruined

Better days are on the way

But I think they all lied to us

Yeah

Told us to keep it pure

Caught up in the allure

But see that’s not what I’m looking for

Wasn’t sure

I wanted more

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Teacher teacher why you keep feeding me false

Information taught is just a way to keep me lost

Said you here to make me brighter but you keep me in the dark

Told me turn the chapter and remember everything you taught

Educated fool that’s why we hated school

I guess I’m different, had me venting 'bout my teachers

But my preacher wasn’t no different

Mama picked up on tradition of religion, I knew it

Had to break tradition, told mama they lied to us

Yeah

Told us to keep it pure

Caught up in the allure

But see that’s not what I’m looking for

Wasn’t sure

I wanted more

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Yeah

Was born into a hell

So you already feel

They say don’t live life on the edge

Man I might as well

Yeah

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies

Tell no lies

Tell me no lies
