The Price of Denial.

The Cost of Truth

1. "It costs you nothing to deny a man's truth — but to that man, it can cost everything."
2. "Denying a man's truth might feel cheap to you, but it robs him of his legacy."
3. "To you, it’s just a denial — to him, it’s a lifetime erased."
4. "You lose nothing denying another’s truth — but he loses the right to be who he is."
5. "Truth denied is a soul stolen — it may not cost the liar, but it destroys the man."
6. "A lie costs nothing to the speaker, but costs a life to the one it silences."
7. "Mocking a man's truth won’t bankrupt you — but it bankrupts him of dignity, honour, and self."
8. "Denying a truth you never earned is easy. Living it, proving it, surviving it — that’s the cost."
9. "To you, it's just words. To him, it's a life’s work you're trying to delete."
10. "Truth is free. But to steal it from someone else? That’s theft of the highest order."

"The Price of Denial"
Genre: Spoken Word / Rap / Protest Anthem
Tone: Righteous. Raw. Real.

[VERSE 1]
Truth is free — that’s what they say,
But some steal it just to throw it away.
You mock my name like it’s worth no more,
But my truth’s a legacy — not folklore.
You sit there, laughing, denying my fight,
But I bled for my badge, I earned that right.
It’s just a word to you — but to me?
It’s honour, dignity, identity.

[CHORUS]
You lose nothing denying my truth,
But you steal my name, my soul, my youth.
Your lie won’t bankrupt your pride,
But it buries who I am inside.
Truth is free, yeah, easy to speak,
But to silence a man? That’s cowardly, weak.

[VERSE 2]
You smirk while you mock what I’ve done,
But I stood where you never stood, son.
Royal Military — not some pretend,
I walked that path, I faced that end.
Your slander’s cheap, your doubt costs none,
But it weighs heavy like a loaded gun.
You call me a Walt, like that’s your thrill —
But truth ain’t cancelled by your will.

[BRIDGE – SPOKEN WORD STYLE]
A lie costs nothing to the speaker,
But it costs a life to the one it silences.
And when you deny a man’s truth,
You’re not just doubting —
You’re erasing.
You’re stealing his right to exist,
To be who he is…
That’s theft of the highest order.

[CHORUS REPEAT – FULL BAND KICKS IN]
You lose nothing denying my truth,
But you steal my name, my soul, my youth.
Your lie won’t bankrupt your pride,
But it buries who I am inside.
Truth is free, yeah, easy to speak,
But to silence a man? That’s cowardly, weak.

[OUTRO – WHISPERED / ECHOED]
Mocking a man’s truth won’t bankrupt you…
But it bankrupts him… of dignity, honour… and self.
Truth is free. But some pay the price.
And I did.
Still standing.
Still me.
