TRUTH
by Tanan the Infinite


Chorus
Sometimes you meet someone who’s real
Someone who knows the deal whose heart can feel
Who doesn’t have to steal, lie or wear a disguise
But can you see this in your own eyes?
As you look within?
Are you your own best friend?
Cuz in the end, all that matter is the truth

Verse 1
All my life I had people try to tell me who to be
The stereotypes of a white suburban family
I grew up proud, from a religious background
People pressured me to pick paths I couldn’t back down

Sometimes I’d act out and go against the grain
If I didn’t make the right choice the devil was to blame
Tempting me to sin, tallying marks against my name
So I believed what they said, continued to live my life in vain

Began to feel ashamed walking my natural path
Felt people behind my back point their fingers and laugh
Force to wear a mask when I knew I was un-true
Doing all the things I was taught I wasn’t suppose to

But what do you do when faced with such a situation?
How do you have faith with a mind that’s constantly debating?
No hating, by all means I’m a good guy
And I wanted to be together with my family if I die

But I was tired of living a lie so I let it go
More and more started trusting in the flow
Being true to myself, my spirit started to grow
Found many fallacies in things I thought I’d already known

Numerous visions shown, recognized the signs
Opened my mind realized the whole time I was walking blind
Finally started to see, understanding internal energies
Found the person I’d been looking for my whole life, Me.






Chorus
Sometimes you meet someone who’s real
Someone who knows the deal whose heart can feel
Who doesn’t have to steal, lie or wear a disguise
But can you see this in your own eyes?
As you look within?
Are you your own best friend?
Cuz in the end, all that matter is the truth

Refrain
This is a reminder to yourself to walk real, talk real
Love real, hug real, hit real, spit real,
Act real, laugh real, be true about how you feel,
If you ain’t all these thing then you need to get real

Verse 2
Now I can look inside myself and I see the stars
Knowing why we’re here and who we are
So near so far, simplistic distance
Born into a body to experience and witness

What is this? Is the question many times I’ve asked
Why am I the one to wear this particular mask?
Sometimes it’s so fast, sometimes it’s so slow
So many questions that I still strive to know

Every day I grow, every day I change
Every day the book of life turns another page
Hoping my light won’t fade, that some sort of innocence remains
But it gets intense to sense the pain

I can’t refrain sometimes I give into temptation
But every once in a while we all need stimulation
I’m waiting with patience, but working with urgency
Becoming who I came to be, Tanan the Infinite-T

Refrain

Sometimes you meet someone who’s real

Who doesn’t have to steal, lie or wear a disguise
But can you see this in your own eyes?
As you look within?
Are you your own best friend?
Cuz in the end, all that matter is the truth
