If you drop a 'T' and look at it in reverse it can hurt

from Lupe Fiasco – Glory Lyrics on Rap Genius

The King of Lyrical Trickiness does it again.

Despite the fact that this is more straightforward and most people understand, it’s still very impressive to be able to incorporate this sort of wordplay into your bars.

For those who don’t understand:

Drop a t in truth and you get truh.
Looked at backwards, it spells hurt.

It goes even deeper than seen at first glance. The opposite of truth is a lie. When looking at the truth in reverse (a lie), it can hurt.
