Story behind the song
My entry in the August 2007 KVR Music contest. Inspiration for this month's entry came from multiple sources. In the July gossip thread at KVR, there was talk about having a rap theme. I haven't tried rapping before, and thought it would be fun. The contest theme turned out not to be rap, but I figured there wasn't anything to prevent it. So I decided to make my ABA entry a rap. Sound-wise, I've been playing around a lot with synth1 lately. When I first tried it over a year ago, I dismissed it as a farily weak-sounding synth, based primarily on some sounds in the included bank. That was a mistake, as I discovered recently when I came across a number of free banks for it that were quite good. I ended up using synth1 for all of the synth sounds on this track. Lyrically, there was a discussion in this month's gossip thread at KVR that reminded me of many other discussions I've seen online. There always seems to be at least one person out there who "knows" the truth, and they'll let you know it. This track isn't aimed at any particular person (let that be absolutely clear); the gossip thread discussion just reminded me of that general tendency (which certainly extends beyond the internet), and I thought it would make a good subject for my rapping.
Lyrics
Met a man online says he knows it all He knows when words come short and tales grow tall The things he knows could make the government fall If only someone dared to take his call He proved his point to all just the other day Forced the lesser drones to let him have his say Argued hours non-stop and wouldn't let it lay When you know the truth, it's the only way Truth-divining skills, you just can't beat it Even Keyser Soze could not defeat it Just say it once, don't you dare repeat it His perfect knowledge will just complete it Don't you try to lie - it's just no use Don't you try to hide - he knows the truth Don't you try to run - it's just no use He won't let it slide - he knows the truth He knows it, he knows it He knows it, he knows it He's got the truth, he's got the knowledge, got the power He's gonna share it with you hour after hour He's got the truth, he's got the knowledge, got the power He's gonna share it with you hour after hour The other's say that he's delerious And his manner seems imperious I find his logic quite mysterious But he says his peace, and he's serious He writes it all down in black and white He keeps discussion going day and night If you disagree it'll start a fight 'Cause the man knows that he's always right Don't you try to lie - it's just no use Don't you try to hide - he knows the truth Don't you try to run - it's just no use He won't let it slide - he knows the truth Don't you try to lie - it's just no use Don't you try to hide - he knows the truth Don't you try to run - it's just no use He won't let it slide - he knows the truth He knows the truth.
