The Return of the Truth (Paul Pierce)

It's the return of the truth you want proof
Watch me raise another banner to the roof
For all the youths who missed out on Parish and Bird
And or Russell and Cousy you all have my word
And word is bond the list goes on and on
There was Havlichek and DJ McHale and Heinsohn
Or Heinson and Reggie Lewis R I P
Six years in this league for me I'm living legacy
It's pride and it's heart and I've said from the start
I want to restore what is rightfully ours
This city's more than Irish Pubs and bars you want proof
I'll show you about a dozen scars I'm the truth

It's the return of the truth, you want proof
Watch me raise another banner to the roof
Green seventeen for the elders and youths
And every in between I'm Paul Pierce I'm the truth

Honestly I'd rather not be singing this or rapping this
I'd rather not explain how it could happen this
Last two years when D A traded away
Just about everyone with whom I ever played
Antoine and E Dub Battie and Kenny A
Delk then Walter with only a little faulter
Three coaches in two years I've been the Rock of Gibralter
Twenty four seven and four every game
It's insane for me to think some say I'm lame
A prima donna whiny me first uncoachable player
That's the same rap McGrady got same rep Vince Carter got
Same rep some sucker going to get when I'm gone
But only I stay strong I been here all along
And I'm not moving until we're number one

It's the return of the truth, you want proof
Let me take you back to May twenty fifth two thousand two
Eastern conference finals game three versus the nets
They had gotten the best of us and Antoine like let's
Just do this like the old Celtics use to just do that thing
We did our damn thing on a forty one to sixteen run
We had just begun and now we back together up at number one
Won the Atlantic for the first time since Bird
And we're about to let our new heroics be heard
And be seen and be assured for the playoffs the third time's a charm
I'm doing this for my mom
I'm doing this for Inglewood and Kansas
I'm doing this for Boston

It's the return of the truth, you want proof
Watch me raise another banner to the roof
Green seventeen for the elders and youths
And every in between I'm Paul Pierce I'm the truth
