Ugly Truth by AI and Lil Emotion
“Ugly Truth” (Verse 1) I see the pain in my people, feel the weight in they eyes, Another young soul gone, momma breakin’ and cries. This world cold, got no love for the broke or the black, They stack prisons while they takin’ all our books off the racks. They poisonin’ our food, and they call it a meal, Then wonder why these kids grow with trauma they conceal. We raised in the chaos, taught not to trust, Even love got a price, and the streets raise us rough. Cops lurkin’, trigger-finger itchin’ for death, We say “hands up,” still they aim at the chest. Media paint us as monsters, feed fear for the vote, While they sip champagne off the backs of the broke. (Hook) Society’s ugly, full of greed and disguise, Truth buried deep underneath all the lies. We cry for help, but they deaf to our pain, This ain’t life, this a cage with invisible chains. (Verse 2) Politicians preach peace, but they pockets the goal, They sellin’ out souls just to sit in control. Meanwhile the hood starvin’, babies needin’ some shoes, And the system laugh loud while we lose and lose. Ain’t no hope in the air, just smog and despair, Tryna breathe through the hurt, like who really care? They glorify the fake, kill the real with no shame, Make a martyr outta truth, then erase the name. Schools fallin’ down, but the jails look new, Tell me how that reflect what we value and do. It’s a war on the poor, dressed in legal disguise, They takin’ lives with a pen while we bleed in the skies. (Hook) Society’s ugly, full of greed and disguise, Truth buried deep underneath all the lies. We cry for help, but they deaf to our pain, This ain’t life, this a cage with invisible chains. (Outro) Still I rise, like the ashes of the ones they forgot, With a voice full of rage and a heart that won’t rot. I speak for the lost, for the broken, the used— ‘Cause even in the dark, real ones never lose. ⸻ You want this matched with a beat or turned into a full song layout (intro, hook, bridge, etc.)? I can build it out.
