I Know The Truth (Lies)
(written by Tonéx)
(recorded by Shirley Caesar)
Chorus:
(You've been telling lies),
but I know the truth.
(Satan, you been telling lies),
but I know the truth.
(The devil's been telling lies),
but I know the truth.
I have been delivered,
Satan's under my feet,
I've been forgiven,
so you ain't got nothing on me;
the devil's been telling his lies,
but I know the truth, I know the truth.
Rap 1 (Tonéx) :
They call me Prince, but my name is Tonéx,
and I'm with queen Shirley, the one and only.
Let me break it down to ya,
she got something like forty-six Grammy's,
from the Cali to Miami, got the game on lock.
One, two step,
with the clown walk mix,
with the church flow stomp,
three times, it's a wrap, yo.
Chorus
Vamp 1:
I know the truth.
Vamp 2:
I know it, I know it.
I know it, I know it.
Rap 2:
(Tonéx)
Throwback with The Caravan sample,
I'm a make you an example,
like I did with Hezekiah, yep.
When you've ever heard
of rap mixed with traditional,
so unconventional,
you know it's on fire.
Shirley Caesar is a show crowd pleaser,
but please don't get it twisted,
'cause she's holiness or hell.
Never thought she'd link with the Jesus freak,
people talkin' trash,
but I'm on my way to glory, oh well.
(Shirley)
Talk about me just as much as you please,
but the more that you talk,
I'm gonna sell cds.
Everybody's tripping on this track,
'cause it's so groundbreaking,
that we're taking church back to the streets.
Stomp on the devil,
take ya to another level,
betta duck, start flyin',
then they pass church fans.
You telling lies,
but I know the truth,
we're off to the Grammy's
clap with me if you can.
Vamp 2
Ending:
I have been delivered,
Satan's under my feet,
I've been forgiven,
so you ain't got nothing on me.
You ain't got nothing on me.
(repeat as desired)
The devil's been telling his lies,
but I know the truth, I know the truth.
