Truth Is Offensive
You think I'm the kind of guy to be dishonest?
The only person dishonest is you.
Do not underestimate me, or it will come back to you;
I have no regrets and I never will.
I tell the 100% truth,
And most of my honesty is offensive,
So if you ever tell me to only say nice things,
Either I lie to you, or you've earned my
compliments.
