Lyrics

What if half the things ever said

Contemplating the possibility that many spoken words are false

Turned out 2 be a lie

Raising the question of how one can discern the truth

How will U know the Truth?

Reflecting on the difficulty of knowing what is true

If U were given all the answers

Considering a scenario where all answers are provided

And U stopped 2 wonder why

Pausing to question the reasons behind the provided answers

But how will U know the Truth?

Reiterating the challenge of discovering the truth


Everybody's got a right to love

Acknowledging everyone's entitlement to love

Everybody's got a right to lie

Recognizing the existence of the right to deceive

But the choice U make ain't no piece of cake

Highlighting the difficulty in making choices

It ain't no motherfuckin piece of pie

Emphasizing the complexity of decision-making


What If time's only reason?

Speculating on the potential purpose of time as instilling fear

Was to give us all somethin' 2 fear?

Contemplating the fear-inducing nature of time

And if so y'all, the end of the journey's so clear

Suggesting that the end of life's journey becomes apparent with time


Questionaire, What did U stand 4?

Posing questions about one's principles and values

Questionaire, Who did U save?

Asking about who or what one has prioritized or rescued

When it gets right down to, wait a minute

Expressing a realization or interruption in thought

When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty

Focusing on the essential and challenging aspects

When it gets right down to it U take more than U gave

Highlighting the tendency to take more than give in critical moments


Everybody got a right to love

Reiterating the universal right to love

Everybody got a right to lie

Acknowledging the existence of the right to deceive

But the choice U make ain't no piece of cake

Repeating the challenge in decision-making

It ain't no motherfuckin motherfuckin piece of pie

Emphasizing the arduous nature of decision-making


Mmmm oh

Expressing a contemplative or emotional sound

Gotta tell the truth y'all

Stressing the importance of truth-telling

Gotta tell the truth

Reiterating the importance of truth-telling

Gotta tell the truth y'all

Emphasizing the significance of truth-telling

Gotta tell the truth

Reiterating the significance of truth-telling

Gotta tell the truth y'all

Stressing the necessity of truth-telling

Gotta tell the truth

Reiterating the necessity of truth-telling


If there was just one day

Contemplating a hypothetical scenario of universal honesty

That everybody tell the truth

Suggesting a collective action of truth-telling

We'd all trade bank accounts & move to back to Neptune

Humorous suggestion of the consequences of universal honesty
