HARSH TRUTH written by Vijai Chris Rampersad & Sheldon Manoo (1997)


Intro:    So you wanna know the harsh truth
            Well I’ll tell you the harsh truth
            Let me give you the harsh truth
            Cause you wanna know the harsh truth
            Now listen up!

All your life you been believing in lies
All this time I am one you despised
You kept telling me I been doing wrong
You never would give an ear to my song
You look at me and you criticize
But look again I wear no disguise
I got to put you in your place
So I stick the harsh truth in your face

Chorus:This is the harsh truth
            This is the harsh truth
            Nobody’s working for free
            This is the harsh truth
            This is the harsh truth
            You gotta let us be
            Harsh truth can set you free!
            Harsh truth can set you free!
            Set me free!

            SOLO

You spend your life antagonizing me
You treat my music like an enemy
You mess my life up in every way
You tell me I don’t kneel down and pray
But who are you to judge me
When your ignorance doesn’t budge me
You live your life in substitutes
Now you must face the harsh truth

Chorus:This is the harsh truth
            This is the harsh truth
            Nobody’s working for free
            This is the harsh truth
            This is the harsh truth
            You gotta let us be
            Harsh truth can set you free!
            Harsh truth can set you free!
            Set me free!

This is the harsh truth
I am me, you are you
You have no right to condemn what I do
This is the harsh hitting truth!
