Analysis of 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.
