Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]No matter what we face
We must [Em]face the [F]moment of truth,
[Em]baby
[Dm][Em]

[Verse 2]
[F][Em]
They say [Dm]it's lonely at the top,
in [Em]whatever you do
You [F]always gotta watch mother
[Em]fuckers around you
[Dm]Nobody's invincible, no [Em]plan is foolproof
We [F]all must meet our moment of truth
[Em]The same

[Verse 3]
[Dm]sheisty cats that you hang [Em]with,
and do your thang with
[F]Could set you up and wet you up, [Em]nigga,
peep the language
[Dm]It's universal,
you play [Em]with fire it may hurt you
[F]Or burn you, lessons are [Em]blessings
you should learn through
Let's [Dm]face facts,
[Em]although MC's lace tracks
It doesn't [F]mean behind the scenes
there ain't no [Em]dirt to trace back
That goes [Dm]for all of us,
there ain't [Em]nobody to trust
It's like [F]sabotage,
it's got me ready to bust
[Em]But I can't je[Dm]opardize,
what I have [Em]done up to this point
So I'ma [F]get more guys,
to help [Em]me run the whole joint
Cultiv[Dm]ate, multiply, motiv[Em]ate,
or else we'll die
[F]You know I be the master of the who,
what, where [Em]and why
[Dm]See when you're shining,
[Em]some chumps'll wanna dull ya
[F]Always selfish, jealous punk[Em]s,
will wanna pull ya
[Dm]Down, just like some [Em]shellfish
in a bucket
'Cause [F]they love it, to see
your ass squirm like a worm
[Em]But just[Dm] as you'll receive
what is [Em]coming to you
[F]Everybody else is gonna
[Em]get theirs too
I ain't no [Dm]saint,
therefore I [Em]cannot dispute
That every[F]one must meet
their moment of truth
[Em]Ac

[Verse 4]
[Dm]tions have reactions,
don't be [Em]quick to judge
You [F]may not know the hardships
people [Em]don't speak of
It's best [Dm]to step back,
and ob[Em]serve with couth
For [F]we all must meet
our moment [Em]of truth

[Verse 5]
Sometimes you [Dm]gotta dig deep,
when [Em]problems come near
Don't fear, [F]things get severe
for every[Em]body everywhere
Why [Dm]do bad things happen
[Em]to good people?
Seems [F]that life is just a constant war
between good and [Em]evil
[Dm]The situation that I'm facin'
[Em]is mad amazin'
[F]To think such problems can arise
[Em]from minor confrontations
[Dm]Now I'm contemplatin',
in my [Em]bedroom pacin'
Dark [F]clouds over my head,
my heart's racin'
[Em]Suicide?[Dm] Nah,
I'm not a [Em]foolish guy
Don't even [F]feel like drinking,
or even [Em]gettin' high
'Cause all [Dm]that's gonna
do really is [Em]accelerate
The [F]anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
[Em]But wait, I've[Dm] been through
a whole lot of oth[Em]er shit before
So [F]I oughta be able to with
[Em]stand some more
But I'm [Dm]sweatin' though,
my eyes are [Em]turnin' red, and yo
[F]I'm ready to lose my mind,
but instead I use [Em]my mind
I [Dm]put down the knife,
and take the [Em]bullets out my nine
My only [F]crime,
was that I'm too [Em]dam n kind
And now some [Dm]scandalous motherfuckers
wanna [Em]take what's mine
But they [F]can't take the respect that
I've earned in my [Em]lifetime
And [Dm]you know they'll never stop
the furi[Em]ous force of my rhymes
[F]So like they say, every [Em]dog has its day
An[Dm]d like they say,
God works [Em]in a mysterious way
So [F]I pray, rememberin'
the days of my [Em]youth
As I [Dm]pre pare to meet
my moment of truth
[Em]"You

[Verse 6]
[F]sha[Em]ll know the truth a[Dm]nd
[F]the [Em]trut[F]h shall set you free"
[Em]Yo, I got

[Verse 7]
[Dm]one lyric pointed
at [Em]your head for start
[F]An other one,
is pointed at [Em]your weak-ass heart
heart
Now if I [Dm]pull the trigger,
on [Em]these fully loaded lines
You're gonna [F]wish I woulda pulled a black nine,
I [Em]mack dimes
[Dm]Crack the spines of the fake[Em] gangsters
Yeah, the [F]bitin'-triflin' niggas, niggas,
and the [Em]studio [Dm]pranksters
Yo, lookin' at the situation [Em]plainly,
will you [F]re main G?
Or will you be looked upon [Em]strangely?
[Dm]I reign as the [Em]articulator, with
the greater data
[F]Re volvin' on the [Em]TASCAM much
doper than my last jam
[Dm]While others struggle to j[Em]uggle
tricky metaphor[F]s
I explore more, to expose [Em]the core
[Dm]A lot of emcees act [Em]stupid to me
And we [F]have yet to see if they can
[Em]match our longevity
[Dm]But anyway, it's just anot[Em]her day
Another [F]fake jack I slay with my
spectac' rap [Em]dis play
[Dm]Styles, smooth but rugged,
[Em]you can't push or shove it
[F]You dig it and you dug it 'cause
[Em]like money you love it
The king [Dm]of monotone,
with [Em]my own throne
Righteously [F]violent prone,
my words bring winds like [Em]cyclones
[Dm]Stormin' your hideout,
[Em]blockin' out your sunlight
[F]Your image and your business
[Em]were truly not done right
[Dm]Throw up your He Allah [Em]Now
Divine Saviors
[F]You got no hand skills,
there's no security to [Em]save ya
[Dm]No pager, no celly, [Em]no drop-top Benzy
I [F]came to bring your phony
hip-hop [Em]to to an ending
[Dm]My art of war will leave you
[Em]sore from the abuse
'Cause [F]you must meet
your moment of truth
[Em]They say

[Verse 8]
[Dm]it's lonely at the top
in [Em]whatever you do
[F]You always gotta watch
mother[Em]fuckers around you
No [Dm]one is untouchable,
no [Em]man is bulletproof
[F]We all must meet our moment
[Em]of truth[Dm][Em]
