Dizzy Wright - Honesty Poem lyrics

[Verse 1] Is...being honest always the way to go? You lie cause you don't wanna let em go, but you wanna let em know, that you're not just the average joe Inside's burning from the pain you may feel From her first reaction and you walkin down the lane to be real To be honest, to be everything she asks for To be the color to her sky in her rim to her backboard But you go back and forth thinking if honesty is the right way to go Cause the object is to keep her and not see her turn and walk out that door But you wanna show her you're honest and that you're trying to make it through round one But just like they say don't ask the questions if you don't wanna know the answer Why be honest if you don't wanna know the outcome? Now, I done had my share with women, share some women, hell, scared of women But of also bare with women who compare attention needed only to repair some women Now, I'm realizing that honesty from the words of the lips can emerge like a fist, smack you And have you feeling lower then ever You can be closer to never when you lie So why be honest and lose when you can be happy and hide? It's like setting yourself up for failure, setting yourself up for destruction Stressin', cryin', laying in the bed thinking about nothing Catching the emotional case staring off in space, getting on myspace just to see if they took you off there top Cause you don't wanna do it, but you don't wanna be the first And you also don't wanna be like every man, but you don't wanna be the curse See, women are the verse to the most unique sound we all cherish And when you find them set of words that you enjoy being honest is helpless That's what we tend to think when we're honest and lose So women if you don't like the truth don't ask for a honest dude Understand that a man comes a dime a doz' And, just because I have a mind of love doesn't mean I'm gonna wine and dine you up Just respect what you ask for and we'll be alright And when I'm honest and it's a problem, respect when I lie Is being honest really worth it?
