I donât mind, rushing through traffic just to get dinner ready in time
And I, donât mind, calling when Iâm late just to give you peace of mind
And I, donât mind, you staying out all night long hanging with the guys
But I do mind, when you look me right dead in the eye and you tell me lies
You see it pays to tell the truth and look at what you had to loose
Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?
You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you
You could have had it all, too bad you gotta fall
Now you live, now you live with zero
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
Now you live with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didnât do it
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
Now you live with zero
Now you live with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth
Oh why I tried, giving you chances just to get your act right
And I, I tried, everything from praying to getting things
For getting out of line
Those tears Iâve cried, it hurts so deep inside
That almost drained me dry
But now, itâs time, for you to man up cause Iâm taking back whatâs mine
You see it pays to tell the truth and look at what you had to loose
Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?
You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you
You could have had it all, too bad you gotta fall
Now you live, now you live with zero
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
Now you live with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didnât do it
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
Now you live with zero
Now you live with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth
I lie just to protect you, never to disrespect you
Cause what we have was so 38 special
And it was times that I heard niggas test you
But I ainât even ask, I was waiting to catch you
But you caught me and everything was on me
It was time to face the music, everything was on key
And them lies sounded good, didnât it
Now you sick of me, now Iâm supposed to leave with zero, is you kidding me?
One minus one equals none
And if you gonna live then you might live with some
But you gonn think about me everytime you see my son
And Iâma think about you everytime I see the sun, in the morning
Itâs gonna be times we get caught up in the moment
But donât turn your back on your man you belong with
Cause if you loose then I loose too
And if you cool then Iâm cool too
Now you live, now you live with zero
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
Now you live with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth but you didnât do it
Nothing, now you live with zero, nothing nada
Now you live with zero
Now you live with zero
You see it pays to tell the truth
