Lomepal Lyrics: "La vérité" feat. Orelsan 2026

Table of Contents :

«The Truth» is a piece of Lomepal featuring Orelsan, from the album Jeannine released on December 7, 2018.

The two rappers are rehearsing «Tell the truth, nothing but the truth» like a mantra, in the face of a frustrated artist who has become mean even though he’s just bad.

The message is simple: a friend who tells you the truth is better than a fan who showers you with praise just to make you happy.

The lyrics to «La vérité»:

[Introduction by Lomepal]
Okay

[Pre-chorus by Lomepal]
How wonderful it is to see a frustrated artist turn mean
Even though it's just bad
Just because he keeps trying doesn't mean it's right
Flattering him to be nice leads nowhere
Now tell the truth, the truth
Tell the truth, the truth
Especially if it's your buddy, the truth
Hurting him is important—that's the truth

[Chorus by Lomepal]
Tell the truth, tell the truth
Nothing but the truth (the truth)
Tell the truth

[Verse 1 by Lomepal]
You hadn't even started working on your album yet, and you were already saying that no one was ready
You had fifteen friends, you made fifteen sales—it sure looks like nobody was ready.
It's not enough to want the legend to penetrate it
There's nothing original about you, nothing unexpected—as soon as you speak, I get a sense of déjà vu (it's true)
You can never force people to want to listen to your noise
I'm nice behind my screen, but in the real world, I'll destroy you
I'm telling you this for your own good—you're full of it. Gucci
But you don't hear the good grades or the advice; you're alone in your own world, like a Tamagotchi
Normally, it goes like this: «Don’t listen to others—live your dreams,» but you’re the exception that proves the rule.
Your album is like an MRI scan; to sell it, you make up a life as a thug for yourself
Seriously, have you seen yourself? It's not like you're some big shot—go back to your mom's, bye bye, arrivederci (adios)

[Chorus by Lomepal]
Tell the truth (the truth)
Tell the truth (the truth)
Nothing but the truth (the truth)
Tell the truth (the truth)

Okay, that's it—I think he gets it now.
No, leave it to me

[Verse 2 by OrelSan]
Why are you hurting yourself? Are you completely stupid, or do you just have no self-respect? (hmm)
I feel awkward, like when someone tells me a joke and I know it's not going to be funny (hmm)
You pretend to be close to your fans, but you’re as close to your victims as a con artist (hmm)
You charge them fifty bucks and you still don't know how to hold a mic (hmm)
Too much hype for how good you really are (oh), your suck-up friends are full of it (oh)
You're in philosophy class, you're doing Migos (oh), the album is like a round of chemo (oh)
I'm sick of listening to you spout nonsense just to make it rhyme; I've had enough
I'm sick of it—everyone uses the same expressions; it's a Smurf party.
I'm sick of this—you shouldn't have sold your soul to the devil; stop complaining about your record label—I'm sick of this
I'm sick of your love songs where you compare your girlfriend to your mom
Of your shitty DV clips (eh), of your attempts at failed hits (eh)
No charisma—you should've worn a mask (eh)—you can't even plagiarize, damn it

[Pre-chorus by Lomepal]
How wonderful it is to see a frustrated artist turn mean (it's true)
Even though it's just bad (bad)
Just because he keeps at it (no) doesn't mean it's right
Flattering him to be nice leads nowhere
Now tell the truth (the truth)
Tell the truth (the truth)
Especially if it's your buddy (the truth)
Hurting him is important (the truth)

[Chorus by Lomepal]
Tell the truth (the truth)
Tell the truth (the truth)
Nothing but the truth (the truth)
Tell the truth
