Moment Of Truth (LY2)

[Intro]

Yeah, in these times we need a little bit of inspiration
And seeing as though I got the platform to inspire people
I wanna use my voice, use it to inspire, yeah
It's on you though

[Verse 1]

It's human nature for us to want to be something greater
Doing favors to stack the paper to spend it later
For rappers it's for us to be major and build a fanbase
Just to rap around the globe like an equator
As the DJ pushes he fader, he's like an instigator
Now we feel nobody's braver, we can wrestle alligators
And we're supposed to savor the moment hoping to cage it and own it
Embrace attonement, escape the omen's enrollment
At the same time, how do you shine when you're surrounded by crime
Grind, even when you're grounded make a climb
Skip the bitching and crying, it's time to get a spine
Put something on your mind, you're running out of time
If the clock runs out, what's out of your mouth is null and void
It's too late to put on for all of your boys
All of the noise you make it means nothing
If you don't get your butt up out of your seat and be something

[Hook 2x]

It's the moment of truth, and you only got one chance to make it
Opportunity's knocking, you better take it
It's no time, this whole time you've been waiting
No time for contemplating or faking you better take it

[Verse 2]

It begins with a dream, then building up a team
A regime to assist you in taking over the scene
This relationship with music for me is more than a fling
Engaged since a teen we're just waiting on the rings
Even though she fills me up with hatred and steam
And makes me wanna scream everytime I play a stream
Or I see you on the screen, I'm trying to stay serene
But you playing me is like Mugsy trying to play Kareem
And Hakeem all at once, that's what you call a punch
See I'm a homerun when I hit, you're just a bunt
But these are the results when you focus on what you want
Just keep your eyes on the prize and surely it'll come
Probably not quicker than bullets from a gun but trust me
It's better when you make it happen without rushing
M.C. without a hammer still you can't touch me
Or hush me I'm taking over this industry

[Hook 2x]
[Verse 3]

I gotta shout out Eminem for that inspiration
I had to make a new one for the next generation
Hoping to inspire them to push innovation
Mental stimulation to be something amazing
Whether you're black, asian, latin or caucasian
Don't turn the station this is a special occasion
No matter if you stay in a house or the Days Inn
Or locked down in jail and feel like you're caged in
Just hold your head up high and know that you're worth it
You're still alive so that means you still have a purpose
Nobody's perfect, even Obama gets nervous
Even when I do I spit hot as a furnace
Now I got them sweating, G, and wondering how
A rapper with this style can still make it out
That's 'cause everything is authentic that comes out of my mouth
Have no doubts, it's time to go all out

[Hook 2x]
[Outro]

Yeah, when opportunity knocks will you take it
Or will you keep faking, the choice is yours
