Truth

The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society
And we are as a people inherently and historically
Opposed to secret societies
Secret oaths and to secret proceedings
Yeah
We need truth in here
I said we need truth in here
We need honesty
We need integrity
We need proof in here
We need power too
To rise from the coups in here
But there ain’t no ruse in here
I’m talkin' 'bout we need juice in here
We need longevity
The fountain of youth in here
You from the city of the fountains too
Come through and get a souvenir
And the mood is clear
We done got things moving here
But the we turned into me
Now it’s just Joey cool in here
So here I stand
One man
By myself
One plan
Closet full of kicks
Red vans
Bulls hat
Chicago clan
Let’s settle a bit
This y’all new testaments
Little nigga like a silver-back gorilla
Now y’all know who y’all messin' with
Estimate that your estimations
Your prophecies and self proclamations
Be the result of your termination
After I deter your determination
By sim-ply spitting this raw
I’ma handle when it’s time
You ain’t gotta get involved
Man I think it’s time I do a bit off chopping on the jaw
Midwest bred nigga bitch I got it in my palm
Better believe I do it you know I gotta get it done
Little boy on these motherfucking tracks
Man avoid that hood
Then avoid nigga rap
Team DIBKIS all on the map
Magnum Opus, the Mona Lisa
Control your focus
Turn up your speakers
Once the student becomes the teacher
And then from teacher, becomes the preacher
But it’s like the preacher started smokin' reefer
Picked up the mic and started spittin' ether
When the people watch they make a double feature
Play 'em back to back up at the movie theater
It’s Coolie season
Y’all stay focused
Y’all keep dreaming
Y’all keep hoping
It’s my time now
Call me Joseph
It’s that greatness
Magnum Opus
