Truth - Joey Cool

The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society

And we are as a people inherently and historically

Opposed to secret societies

Secret oaths and to secret proceedings

Yeah

We need truth in here

I said we need truth in here

We need honesty

We need integrity

We need proof in here

We need power too

To rise from the coups in here

But there ain’t no ruse in here

I’m talkin' 'bout we need juice in here

We need longevity

The fountain of youth in here

You from the city of the fountains too

Come through and get a souvenir

And the mood is clear

We done got things moving here

But the we turned into me

Now it’s just Joey cool in here

So here I stand

One man

By myself

One plan

Closet full of kicks

Red vans

Bulls hat

Chicago clan

Let’s settle a bit

This y’all new testaments

Little nigga like a silver-back gorilla

Now y’all know who y’all messin' with

Estimate that your estimations

Your prophecies and self proclamations

Be the result of your termination

After I deter your determination

By sim-ply spitting this raw

I’ma handle when it’s time

You ain’t gotta get involved

Man I think it’s time I do a bit off chopping on the jaw

Midwest bred nigga bitch I got it in my palm

Better believe I do it you know I gotta get it done

Little boy on these motherfucking tracks

Man avoid that hood

Then avoid nigga rap

Team DIBKIS all on the map

Magnum Opus, the Mona Lisa

Control your focus

Turn up your speakers

Once the student becomes the teacher

And then from teacher, becomes the preacher

But it’s like the preacher started smokin' reefer

Picked up the mic and started spittin' ether

When the people watch they make a double feature

Play 'em back to back up at the movie theater

It’s Coolie season

Y’all stay focused

Y’all keep dreaming

Y’all keep hoping

It’s my time now

Call me Joseph

It’s that greatness

Magnum Opus
