Give It to Me Straight

I don’t want your bias, don’t want your slant

Don’t tell what I can do or what I can’t

Don’t say to find out I must wait

Can’t you just give it to me now and Give it to me straight

I’m hearing chatter that just don’t jive

You’re feeding me stuff and it all sounds like lies

Selling me bullshit, I can’t relate

Stop bending the truth And give it to me straight

Look straight in the camera then you change your tune

You think we won’t remember but we’re no fools

It’s whatever line suits you at the time

changing your story to just another lie

Rare apologies that sound more like blame

every one of you do it exactly the same

worrying about your legacy rather than fate

it’s not an apology if you can’t give it to me straight

You sold your soul to stay in this role

while everything around you spins out of control

Is it incompetence or did you premeditate?

Doesn’t mean a thing if you can’t get your story straight

You fooled enough to just get by

doing everything you can do to please both sides

you show up again, put your game face on

your message is flawed and weak as your heart

Pitch a tent, put on a show

cause it’s a circus everywhere you go

pointing fingers and placing blame

false accusations, it’s a crying shame

Have to be faithful in the small to be faithful in the huge

smalls lies are still lies no matter their hue

Negotiate, but hate is still hate

Open your mind man I’m giving it to you straight
