Creativity Quote by Ice Cube

Ice Cube frames truth less as a virtue than as a force that kicks down doors. Coming from an artist who built a career on confrontation - from N.W.A.'s police-state reportage to his later pivots into film and public commentary - the line treats honesty like street-level leverage: not polite transparency, but pressure. "Ultimate power" is a deliberate reversal of how power usually works in America, where institutions can bury facts with budgets, PR, and paperwork. Cube's claim is that truth has a delayed fuse, not a weak one.

The second sentence is where the quote earns its swagger. "When the truth comes around" implies inevitability and timing: truth is a beat that eventually drops. Lies aren't refuted in a debate; they "run and hide", personified as cowards exposed by daylight. That's both a moral judgment and a tactical one. In Cube's world, misinformation survives by controlling the scene - the narrative, the camera angle, the official report. Truth arriving is a change in conditions, like witnesses speaking, footage surfacing, or history catching up.

The subtext is righteous paranoia turned into confidence. Cube has long trafficked in the idea that systems lie first and apologize later, if ever. This line promises a reckoning: the cover story can't stay on top forever. It's a sentiment made for eras of media spin and viral half-truths, but it also carries a rapper's faith in testimony - that naming what's real, loudly and repeatedly, can outlast the people paid to deny it.
