"Honesty's the best policy."
Ha! I'm laughing my bitter ass
I could not count the many times
I got trouble for honesty
I already know how this goes
It starts with word and then it flows
You are no longer in control
When your words has taken its' toll
The realest people are friendless
No one can ever stand the truth
So I think I'd just shut my mouth
And keep what I want to express
"Honesty's the best policy."
But no one is really ready
To speak and listen to the truth
It just opens a new dispute
They say the truth will set you free
Oh but it only bothers me
When everyone loses their shit
Each time I would let the truth out
I remember telling the truth
Because of that, I lost a friend
Because I told him a secret
I love him and it marked our end
"Honesty's the best policy."
Ha! I'm laughing my bitter ass
For I could not count all the times
I got trouble for honesty
