about

‘Truth Hurts’ personifies the afterglow of the triumphs and accomplishments of the previous year despite all the obstacles faced. The title of the track perfectly summarizes the intention of it, with doubters and nay-sayers left with a bitter taste in their mouth, forced to submit that MAMMOTH.'s trajectory is star bound regardless of their lack of belief. Truth Hurts features production from Sydney producer chub.e, who has rose to prominence with his collaborative release of “The Chubby Tape”. This single is the long awaited follow up to the critically acclaimed “Opus Magnum”, which won Best Hip-Hop Album in the Music Victoria Awards for its nuanced take on underground rap. The song's feel is triumphant and uplifting, with a strong Autumn appeal.

lyrics

Verse
Go against the grain I fucked the industry,
Walk inside a room all full of suits, they’re thinking who is he.
Now they see holy shit whole factor that I had to breathe,
Clap your hands, tap your feet, bump your heads to my CD.
See I brought the art of dropping albums back, a masterpiece,
pledge allegiance to this game, tamed my flow, my heart don’t beat,
Unless it's on a metronome, take a moment. Hug the team,
PL fucking did it, beginning, of writing history,
you see it or you don’t, bad luck, we got these advantages,
hustle through the cracks and knew our worth we had to interject,
coz people doing wrong, I’m only in it for long jeopardy,
best to be a leader, y’all are mirrors of celebrities.
I speak my shit, I count my cents and write all that is in my head,
like every night I have to vent, and didn’t use a feather pen
when molding verses like a scripture only took me 30 minutes,
mammoth how you do it? Give me tips, I mean it make no sense,

Hook
i studied and I researched and put in all these hours,
powered my whole body, stacking music like a tower
Not everybody’s built for pressure, made 10 racks from trapping loud,
used to grasp a cone piece, but learnt growth is in your sober hours, so allow it

Verse
People acting shifty, always keep my poker face on,
His was catching hissy fits, I think he hold his faith wrong
Paper coming quickly, had to spend it all or wishy wash it
Fuck it, take a risk and save and yourself from hitting empty pockets
Living large, but hitting lows, he tipped the scales back in his favor,
Doin show to show and fans telling me I’m speaking like their savior
tell them row the boat, deep in sea and never cease ur sale
Coz the more you swim, is more fish you can catch, can never fail now
Side of my car seat, shush with the package,
installed with the flat screen, like its a Tesla
throwing notes like confetti, im putting my dosh first.
knew I had to step up, but boss I have concerns,
ten pounds came and it's gone, it took 1 hour.
Blacked out jeep full of product, on the way now,
tracks these maps I’m the one who needs a reroute,
lost in the middle of the road, I don’t know how
