No matter what we   ■ ■     ■ face


[Verse]
                           F#m7      
We must face the moment of truth baby
                                   G#m7           
They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do
Amaj7                  E                       
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
F#m7                   E                
Nobody's invincible no plan is foolproof
   Amaj7                            
We all must meet our moment of truth
         F#m7                                                  
The same sheisty cats that you hang with and do your thang with
Amaj7                                                  
Could set you up and wet you up nigga peep the language
F#m7                                             
It's universal you play with fire it may hurt you
Amaj7                                                     
Or burn you lessons are blessings you should learn through
F#m7                                      
Let's face facts although MC's lace tracks
   Amaj7                                                           
It doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
          F#m7                                     
That goes for all of us there ain't nobody to trust
          Amaj7                             
It's like sabotage it's got me ready to bust
      F#m7                                              
But I can't jeopardize what I have done up to this point
   Amaj7                                            
So I'ma get more guys to help me run the whole joint
F#m7               E                         
Cultivate multiply motivate or else we'll die
Amaj7                                                 
You know I be the master of the who what where and why
F#m7                    G#m7                        
See when you're shining some chumps'll wanna dull ya
Amaj7                                          
Always selfish jealous punks will wanna pull ya
F#m7                E                    
Down just like some shellfish in a bucket
       Amaj7                                          
'cause they love it to see your ass squirm like a worm
    F#m7                                        
But just as you'll receive what is coming to you
Amaj7                                 
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
           F#m7                            
I ain't no saint therefore I cannot dispute
     Amaj7                                   
That everyone must meet their moment of truth
F#m7                         G#m7             
Actions have reactions don't be quick to judge
    Amaj7                      E                    
You may not know the hardships people don't speak of
          F#m7             E                 
It's best to step back and observe with couth
       Amaj7                            
For we all must meet our moment of truth
          F#m7                    G#m7              
Sometimes you gotta dig deep when problems come near
Amaj7                                                
Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere
    F#m7                               
Why do bad things happen to good people
Amaj7                                                       
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
F#m7                   E                    
The situation that I'm facin' is mad amazin'
Amaj7                                                     
To think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
F#m7                                      
Now I'm contemplatin' in my bedroom pacin'
Amaj7                                     
Dark clouds over my head my heart's racin'
F#m7                             
Suicide Nah I'm not a foolish guy
           Amaj7                                  
Don't even feel like drinking or even gettin' high
           F#m7                                
'cause all that's gonna do really is accelerate
    Amaj7                                  
The anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
    F#m7                                                   
But wait I've been through a whole lot of other shit before
   Amaj7                                  
So I oughta be able to withstand some more
        F#m7                    E                     
But I'm sweatin' though my eyes are turnin' red and yo
Amaj7                                              
I'm ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind
  F#m7                                               
I put down the knife and take the bullets out my nine
   Amaj7                                
My only crime was that I'm too damn kind
             F#m7                     E                     
And now some scandalous motherfuckers wanna take what's mine
         Amaj7                                                 
But they can't take the respect that I've earned in my lifetime
    F#m7                                                      
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
Amaj7                                 
So like they say every dog has its day
F#m7                                           
And like they say God works in a mysterious way
   Amaj7                                  
So I pray rememberin' the days of my youth
     F#m7                              
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth
G#m7 Amaj7 E F#m7 E Amaj7
■    ■     ■ ■    ■ ■    
    Amaj7                                                
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free
F#m7                          E                  
Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
Amaj7                                       
Another one is pointed at your weakass heart
       F#m7                                          
Now if I pull the trigger on these fully loaded lines
             Amaj7                                         
You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine I mack dimes
F#m7                                  
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
     Amaj7                                              
Yeah the bitin'triflin' niggas and the studio pranksters
F#m7                                         Amaj7   
Yo lookin' at the situation plainly will you remain G
            Amaj7                   
Or will you be looked upon strangely
F#m7                                            
I reign as the articulator with the greater data
Amaj7                                              
Revolvin' on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam
F#m7                                            
While others struggle to juggle tricky metaphors
Amaj7                            
I explore more to expose the core
F#m7                            
A lot of emcees act stupid to me
       Amaj7                                          
And we have yet to see if they can match our longevity
F#m7                            
But anyway it's just another day
Amaj7                                                
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
F#m7                     E                         
Styles smooth but rugged you can't push or shove it
Amaj7                                                  
You dig it and you dug it 'cause like money you love it
         F#m7             E            
The king of monotone with my own throne
Amaj7                                                       
Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones
F#m7                                            
Stormin' your hideout blockin' out your sunlight
Amaj7                                                 
Your image and your business were truly not done right
F#m7                                     
Throw up your He Allah Now Divine Saviors
Amaj7                                                
You got no hand skills there's no security to save ya
F#m7              E               
No pager no celly no droptop Benzy
Amaj7                      E                  
I came to bring your phony hiphop to an ending
F#m7                         E                  
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
Amaj7                                    
'cause you must meet your moment of truth


[Chorus]
         F#m7                      G#m7           
They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do
Amaj7                  E                       
You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you
F#m7                  E                    
No one is untouchable no man is bulletproof
Amaj7                          E     F#m7
We all must meet our moment of truth ■
