The truth hurts, hard pill to swallow. Leader of the pack, I'll never follow. You can't see that, Where's ya head, Sleepy Hollow, Pen game sick, Spit gospel, write a novel. Fire in the booth, Make mics melt, Put ya soul on the track, They hate love ya self. It's all about expression, Grind study lessons, Hip Hop forever, You got any questions? [Intro] The truth hurt, hard pill to swallow Leader of the pack, I'll never follow You thought you were the ruler of this world But I twirled around you, now watch me model [Verse 1] I saw what you did to my family Confused, lost, scared, well you can't handle me I've been sleeping for a long time I wake up and I see you, the slime of all time Pen game sick, been gospel, write a novel Iron in the booth, make my mouth put your soul on the track If you hate, love yourself, all expression Rhymes stay level and fall forever, you got any questions? Rock Since my birth my mission was charted You were cunning, almost had me guarded Thought I could change you, rearrange you But now I see the unchangeable you [Build] The way you tempt, afflict, oppose Disguise the real you, but everybody knows Embracing the truth is all you can do When the truth hits hard, your majority turns few The truth hurt, hard pill to swallow Leader of the pack, I'll never follow Iron in the booth, make my mouth put your soul on the track If you hate, love yourself, all expression, rhymes stay level—rock [Chorus – Purple Throne] Today is a dream come true I am a queen here to take my throne, make way when I come through That is why my favorite color’s purple Purple for the Kings, Queens, all things under “I Am” in my circle When the truth comes to the majority you thought you had will become few This is nothing new, I review the day my words sound toxic to the enemy But fresh to the ones who got faith in me I bring joy, hope, peace, love—things you can’t contemplate, you can’t duplicate me [Verse 2 – Battle Flip] You the accuser, just an abuser Of the Holy One, the son of creation, loser I have overcome you, but yet you knew And still blew your chance for eternal life too Like a knife my words stab your back Iron in the booth, put your soul on the track This is it for you, so hit the road, Jack Headless, you can’t see down, sleepy hollow, fade to black [Final Hook] The truth hurt, hard pill to swallow (swallow) Leader of the pack, I will never follow (never follow) Purple on the crown, see the royalty shine Kings, Queens in the light, leave the darkness behind Today is a dream come true When the truth comes, your many turn few I’m a queen, take the throne, let the speakers say Amen to the truth, let the whole house pray—rock!
