The Truth (Ebony)

[Verse 1] You walk in like you own the town, Silver tongue, but you're sinkin’ down. Dressed up fine in a three-piece lie, But the truth's still lookin’ in your eyes. [Pre-Chorus] You think a suit can hide the stain, But real men own up to their name. [Chorus] Clothes don't make the man, no, they never will, You can shine those shoes, but you're standing still. Say what you want, but I see right through, Ain’t about the look, it’s about the truth. [Verse 2] Words roll out like a practiced line, Smiles so slick, but they don’t shine. You play the part, you wear it well, But I know your stories, I can tell. [Pre-Chorus] You think a tie can make you right, But real love don’t wear disguise. [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] Buttons and cufflinks don’t cover the past, You can’t dress up what will never last. [Repeat Chorus] No, it ain’t about the look, it’s about the truth.
