[Verse 1]
[Solo:] Said I'm [Em]a
night owl,
[Am]fly above the [C]city after l[Em]ights out*
Cause my thoughts [C]are clearest
when the noise dies [Em]down
So while [Am]you sleep I'm up late [C]work
ing on my escape plan
[Em]So take my hand cause we
[C]leaving right now
[Em]And you can march with me or
you can move aside
Whether you a true [C]droogie or you
just cruising by
For[Am]get the do or die,
just [Em]loosen your suit and tie
They too concerned with being [Bm]cool,
I'm con[C]cerned with los[Em]ing mine
Hear the stomach rumble,
it's running on empty
But [G]still I break bread with those
who [Am]trespass against me
[Em]Cause even angels tell lies on
their bad days
[G]Tryn'a navigate a [Am]world
that's man made
But the [Em]aforementioned characters
who inhabit my shoulder blades
Are both claiming [C]they know the way,
fucking [Am]with my pokerface
But I'm [Em]feeling like a pimp so
I'm gonna brush 'em off
Look 'em in the eyes when I tell 'em straight,
welcome [C]overstayed
[Am]"Truth be to[G]ld" - Ja[Am]y- Z[Em]
[G][Chorus:]
[C]Let [Am]no man b[Em]e afraid to speak his part
But let it come from
the heart and the [C]soul
[Em]An alibi's just a lie in
the absence of proof
Above all, let the truth [C]be told[Am]
[Em][Am]
[Em][C]
[Solo:]
Same [Em]crews, some songs,
but there's been a name change
From today on you can [C]call
[Am]me Mr. [Em]Gameface
Cause I got my game face on
Me and Adit came back to give
"The Grey [C]Space" a paint [Am]job
And we [Em]ain't cut from the [Am]same cloth
My hat perched [C]on a double crown
cause I'm twice the [Em]king
Steady tryna build a kingdom out
[Am]of rhythm and [C]rhyme
We on your porch banging [Em]on your
front door till you invite us in
Truth be told I'm a stoned
out scatterbrain
But I never smoked a cigar[C]ette
[Am]Cause if I did t[Em]hen I'd probably
smoke a pack a day
And that's a lot to pay
for [C]a little bit of death
[Em]See, truth be told I'm just doing
my best
But regardless, I'ma stick to my guns
So listen up while I get this stuff
off of my chest
Cause honestly yo, my conscious
weigh[C]s a tonne[Am][Em]
[C]"Truth [Em]be told"

[C]Z[Am][Em][G]
[Am][RepeatChorus:]
[Solo:]
[Em]So[G]
[C]now[Am] we move [Em]like comets
round this planet of rock
Colliding off one another till we [C]finally stop
Sign [Em]of the times,
if motherfuckers put they mind in they rhymes
Then [C]they might find that they
could write some [Em]like mine
Or better yet like [C]yours
Cause there ain't nothing [G]stopping you
[C]from penning your thought[Am]s
[Em]You see, kids get bored, kids kill time
So [G]long as there's kids on this planet,
kids [C]will rhyme
[Em]So tell me how you gonna
earn your stripes
Cause I'm tryna get mine
with just some [C]words and a mic
And [Em]we on target,
songs sparking chain reactions
Across the neighbour[Bm]hood
[C]like the sound of dog[Am]s barking
And I send these word[Em]s to
be there with you when I [C]can't
In your [G]pocket on your
[Am]iPod, wherever you are
[Em]Let the truth be told up in your ear[C]
From [Bm]around the corner [Em]to around
the globe in both [Am]hemispheres
[Em]"Truth be to[C]ld" - Ja[Em]y-[C][Em]
[C]Z
