You Got to Go

Can't teach the lesson til you've learned it
Can't spread the message til you've heard it
You take the credit don't deserve it
The fear you hide i can taste it
Oh now, you play the hypocrite i'll tell you whats right
You might thank me by the end of the fight
You play the hypocrite i'll tell you whats right
Future ain't written but it is within sight

So when the hypocrite comes to greet you
Smilingly deceives you
With promises oh seduces you
You just say no no no, no no
You've got to go

You blame the messenger to justify your own pride
Hide behind your ignorance you try
The playing field you still define
I'm trying to be on your side
Oh now, you ask my expertise
But my needs get a blind eye
I realize you've got to make your bottom line
You have a vision i am aiming to serve
Not sorry that my truth strikes a wrong nerve

So when the hypocrite comes to greet you
Smilingly deceives you
With promises oh seduces you
You just say, no no no, no no
You've got to go

So don't pose like you know
When you know it ain't so
You can't sell what you owe
Cause the skills you don't own
No don't pose like you know
When you know it ain't so
You can't sell what you owe
Cause the skills you don't own
No, you don't own

You believe all those white lies you sell
But i got truth wright here in my well
You know you wan't that yeah you wanna tap that
You know you want that yeah, but you can't

You profit i make you profit
You profit but who's the prophet now
Yeah you profit i make you profit
You profit but who's the prophet now
Yeah you profit, i make you profit
You profit but who's the prophet now
Yeah, woh oh, that you don't own

Can't teach the lesson til you've hear it
Can't spread the message til you've heard it
You take the credit don't deserve it
The fear you hide i can taste it
The fear you hide i can taste it
The fear you hide don't waste it
