Apollo Piero - If I'm True Lyrics

I'm just trying to write this song
Jotting down my thoughts, balling up papers
So much pressure from the media
Telling you you have to be a gangster to be a rapper
I just wanna be truthful, that's what I'ma do

This is me, this is right, this is real, this is life
This is me spittin' hard, pen and pad and a mic
This is all I ever wanted, got a dream and I'm dreaming
An analytic mind and ya boy stay scheming
Got to move, move harder than I ever moved
Got to groove, groove harder than I ever grooved
Cause a dude got to make it, the world gonna hate it
But I still got soul even if they strip me naked
Got to get my clothes, got to flow, God I know
That I got your gift, so I gotta blow, gotta go
And hit the track running swift and nimble
I spit so sick man, look at my lymph nodes
The only dude out saying only true info
I'm raising the bar like I ain't good at limbo
Oh, I make it sound so simple
But all I got to do is sit back and watch the pen go
But you know I guess I got to thank Em though
For pioneering for me man look at the wind blow
It's so breezy how I do this so easy
And 99 percent of them haters wouldn't believe me
If I told 'em what I do, what I did, what I am
All the things I overcame wit my own two hands
And now my own two hands got the whole world in 'em
Back spittin' again and the whole world wit em, yo

I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true
I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true
I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true
I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true

I was born in D.C. right around the time crack rose
Cops being killed everyday in the back roads
I could take that road, rap and get cash flow
But it wouldn't really be about what I know
I was removed from it all, I can't lie, I can't choose
The type of the life that I lived, man I got to be true
I ain't no gangsta bending bodies with a shotty like Pilates
In fact with people like that I never thought really highly
So I highly doubt my clout coming from a bout
But the fact of the matter is it's not what I'm about
I'm about the music, I'ma use it to reach heads
But how I'm gon do it destroying my street cred
Cause now you got to be hard just to have a job
Wit a mic in ya hand, heard they liking it man
But they spite it like damn, he ain't from the gutta
He ain't gon shoot a dude for the stress that he under
He ain't gon cap off or blow nobody back off
You see him in the streets ain't nobody gonna back off
But back off the norm, retract the crack movement
Get back to the facts and back the rap movement
Cause now I gotta album, I never thought the outcome
I just stayed bouting, found the youth in the fountain
And I'm moving the mountains, I stay strong
Stay tagging along to a song when I'm on
And I'm on my way, never turning never slowing
Going like I'm going, all along never knowing
Never knowing, that I'd see stages in Vegas
Outrageous ain't it, I feel like I can make it

I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true
I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true
I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true
I wanna make a song but I don't know what to do
I guess they cant hate me if I'm true, If I am true

If I am true
If I am true
