Go
Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
Happy would ease your troubled mind
How do the fade just stay behind?

I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry .. this is why I fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last

You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide

If happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness

And the truth is you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go

May not be true to see that you would return one day
But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall

Now presiding in this quarter: hip-hop
Justice, my rap forté
Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
Et ceteras, paraphas
My modus operende
It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Comprende?
The people versus, you ain't no Sensi
Teaching that style of word-play
We got the words they
Regardless of what your friends say
They're all disable
Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
And this long arm of the law grabs a mightier
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The sentence of this live litigator
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they're saying to persuade them
They realize exactly how I've played them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as in' with lies will
I brew skill with free fills from now until
Plagiarizing MC's get their flows distilled

Baby I don't die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms that burn
Baby I won't die just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn

I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't die if you're not by my side

And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth

    General Comment:I think lonirangeron generally has the lyrics right, but I have a few of what I think are minor corrections, best as my ears can tell, anyway:

    Now presiding in this court of hip hop
    Justice! my rap forté is
    Judge, jury, bailiff and prosecuting D.A.
    caeteris paribus
    My Modus operandi
    Is carpe diem whether de facto or de jure
    Comprende?
    The people versus, you and your Sensei
    Teaching that style of word-play
    Weaker than Wednesday
    Regardless of what your friends say
    They're all dis-able
    Striken from the record and deemed inadmissible
    and this long arm of the law grabs a mic to
    Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
    The death sentences of this live litigator
    Who Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
    Stenonographers, that study law again, the jargon
    Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
    But when you read back verbatim
    What they're saying to persuade them
    you realize exactly how I've played them
    I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
    'Cause the truth hurts just as much as f***in' with lies will
    I brew skill with refills from now until
    Plagerizing MC's get their flows distilled

    General Comment:Its about the differing sides of the "truth" Roisin's part have more to do with relationships: a relationship that started superficial but now they have both fallen for each other and even though the guy doesn't want to admit that he has fallen for her and is making him bitter. j-Lives verse is about truth in the court of hip hop in where he and the people help to prosecute rappers who aren't being truthful and have no skills or knowledge about what true hip hop is.. plagiarizing mcs get their flows distilled.

    lives verse is way off:

    General Comment:J-Live's part is fucking amazing and I don't even like rap.

    It's very witty, but the lyrics are off on this .

    General Comment:Did you change these to be correct?? This is literally the only place online that I can find the correct lyrics to J Live's verse. It's ridiculous. Every other place just butchers it and it completely loses its meaning.
    Thanks!

    Song Meaning:The song, well Roisin's part, is about recognizing that a relationship has been over for some time, but doing nothing about it. What she's saying is, you go away and do what you need to do. It won't kill me if you leave. But you can't hide from the truth of the situation, so just accept it.

    General Comment:I wish I could tell what this song is about, but I can't, however it is amazing in more than a few ways, enough, infact, to put me in a rap mood, which is weird 'cause I don't normally like rap too much

    basically: awesome song.
