This is probably the most challenging record you have ever put on your turntable.. [MC Serch] The facts, the facts get fried like your eggs scrambled truth until it falls off the ledge lays dead or vexed Tennis feds(?) need the last price, gassed ego He don't show or know about the last nights and days of a brother who went for his My land built on hatred and sent to kids Ice Cube killed his own and it was square biz So if I say fuck you to a jew, you know what time it is Of my own kind but not of my own mind Came to America but became blind Chased from the four corners of the earth But over here it's alright, at least your ass is white So sit down and mingle with the devil over supper The only difference between us and a brother is the color Instead of hittin the last nail in the coffin try to pull it out And find out what the hard but true is all about [Chorus] It's hard.. but it's true The hard but the true It's hard.. but it's true The hard but the true So hard.. but so true The hard but the true It's hard.. but it's true The hard but the true [MC Serch] Hard, what? Truth sometimes too hard to be true So I'ma make it stick like glue Too many times too many crimes get backed up Case comes up, oops! Switch all the facts up Three kids rape a sister at St. John's and become graduates, instead of cons Instead of washin drawers or be somebody's whore College wack buffed and polished and they kept the doors closed Jail time (yeah?) Wasn't even fazin 'em Probably one of the fathers gave the school a gymnasium Korean kills a girl and claims insane, and gets a pardon? Bring her honor to the court of Nickerson Garden And get a lifetime sentence of the bent over Tell a fool, tell a friend and then sent over Hollow point slugs made of nothin but lead The hard but true is takin you straight to the head [Chorus] [MC Serch] Reggie McBride, yeah.. Asalaam alaikum to a Muslim Shalom alaikum is the same to a Hebrew Peace akeem, akeem peace to a Zulu Tell me what's the difference why you riffin what's the point of view? Universal greeting is the same The game is three-sixty it don't matter what the slang Gangs of thugs carry slugs use the mind as a glock 9 Wake the ones then shake the ones then make the ones come into the daytime And spark the mark labelled X And knowledge the text Use the wit not as a whip reload the clip then shoot from the hip Cause yo! This is some ol' next shit One circle, one hurdle, one jump One nation under the groove, and then over the hump of racist dogs, that keep barkin in the street Serch'll bring the hard but true to your feet, complete! [Outro] It's hard.. but it's true The hard but the true It's hard.. but yo, it's true The hard but the true It's hard.. but it's true The hard but the true So hard.. so true The hard but the true Yeah Wolf & Epic, cool Ay you, ay you ay you, ay you ay you Ay you, it's hard but it's true Ay you, ay you ay you ay you It's hard but it's true, you hebrew or you jew Your christian, your muslim, your islam, your brother, your sister It's hard but it's true.. peace
