If Eloquence A Fruit
9.24.2018
You can’t see honesty
Never find it on a mask
You can’t hear integrity
Ear pressed against the glass
If eloquence a fruit
Doesn’t make its juice the truth
He’ll catch you with a tease
So be careful where you squeeze
He’s putting on the mask
He’s putting one on you
Don’t look for honesty
On faces of paint
Don’t look for integrity
In places where it ain’t
Won’t find it from the source
When it’s the action has the force
It’s not when it’s said
It’s when it’s done
And it’s not how it’s said
It’s only when it’s done
Don’t be blinded
By glitz and shine
May be music to your ears
But not what you have in mind
Looks like candy
Tastes like rind
Feel with your heart
But think with your mind
Or the man behind the mask
Will beat you every time
All part of his plan
To beat you all the time
If eloquence a fruit
Doesn’t make its juice the truth
He’ll catch you with a tease
So be careful where you squeeze
He’s putting on the mask
He’s putting one on you
Don’t look for honesty
On faces of paint
Don’t look for integrity
In places where it ain’t
Won’t find it from the source
When it’s the action has the force
It’s not when it’s said
It’s when it’s done
And it’s not how it’s said
It’s only when it’s done
If eloquence a fruit
Doesn’t make its juice the truth
He’s putting on the mask
He’s putting one on you
But only if you let him
