TELL THE TRUTH

My daddy had a small house

Up on the east side (alright)

Willy down the block

Threw me the peace sign (oh yeah)

Moved to the big city

Now we sit, killing (alright)

My daddy growed up

When times was hard and gritty (oh yeah)

Whether looking for love?

Are you looking for fame?

Before you go off

Better know the game, oh

He said, tell it like it is (tell the truth)

Live how you live (I'm talkin' to you)

When you're doing what you do

Just tell the truth, uh (tell the truth)

Tell it like it is (tell the truth)

Love how you live (I'm talkin' to you)

When you're doing what you do

J-ju-ju-ju-, just tell the truth, ah

I'm thinking 'bout my papa

Now that I'm a star (alright)

Lost in translation

People all across the nation, oh (oh yeah)

Just say it, plain and simple

Amongst the complications (alright)

I'm packing all my sneakers

I never had a car

Before you drive off, yeah

Better know who you are

He said, tell it like it is (tell the truth)

And live how you live (I'm talkin' to you)

When you're doing what you do

Tell the truth (tell the truth)

He said, just tell it like it is (tell the truth)

Love how you live (I'm talkin' to you)

When you're doing what you do, ow

Ha, yeah, just tell the truth (tell the truth)

Uh, uh, just tell the truth (tell the truth)

Ah, ah, just tell the truth (tell the truth)

Ooh, ooh, ow

Tell it like it is (tell the truth)

Live how you live (I'm talkin' to you)

When you're doing what you do, ooh

I said, just tell it like it is (tell the truth)

Love how you live (I'm talkin' to you)

When you do it

Be you, be you, be you

I said, tell it like it is, no, no, no, no

Do it like, you feel

Do ya feel? Do ya feel, feel, feel, feel?

Ow, ayy, ow

When you're doing what you do, do it
