"truth had me against the ropes, and semi-conscious without no boxing skills" – pharoahe monch, "the truth"

March 23, 2007 | Filed Under Favourite Songs, Music Discussion 

on a smooth soul-driven track by three of hiphop’s prime lyricists, Pharoahe Monch delivers a healthy dose of reality using his trademark no-nonsense approach towards the end of the first verse – setting up perfectly Common & Kweli’s verses to follow..

“Truth brings light, light refracts off the mirror
Visions of yourself and error could never clearer
The truth is that you ugly, not on the outside
But in the inside on the outside you frontin you lovely
The discovery of these things and all are well-hidden
But when you in denial of self it is forbidden, that’s the truth”

i need to make music again :/
