Songtexte TELL THE TRUTH (Uptown Remix) - Jon Batiste

Just tell the truth, just tell the truth
Just tell the truth
Talk about the night wall
Tell 'em, I'm big chief (Just tell the truth)
Don't want no trouble, just tell 'em don't mess with me
(Just tell the truth)
But well, the only thing is my pride and joy
(Just tell the truth)
My 'Liv doll and my baby boy
(Just tell the truth)
Picky-youndi, picky-youndi with the Pepsi
(Just tell the truth)
People mad at Hollywood, I've done made the front page
(Just tell the truth)
When you see the big chief, see mе on the news

My daddy had a small house up on thе east side (Alright)
Willy down the block threw me the peace sign (Oh yeah)
Moved to the big city, now we sitting 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

He said, tell it like it is (Tell the truth)
Love how you live (I'm talkin' to you)
When you're doing what you do
Just tell the truth (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
Just tell the truth

I'm thinking 'bout my papa
Now that I'm a star (Uh huh)
Lost in translation
People all across the nation (Oh yeah)
Just say it, plain and simple
Amongst the complications (No lie)

I'm packing all my sneakers
I never had a car
Before you drive off, boy
Better know who you are

He said, tell it like it is (Tell the truth)
Love how you live (I'm talkin' to you)
When you're doing what you do
Tell the truth (Tell the truth)

He said, 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!
Just tell the truth (Tell the truth)
Just tell the truth (Tell the truth)
Just tell the truth (Tell the truth)
Ooh, ooh, ow!

Tell it like it is (Tell the truth)
Love how you live (I'm talkin' to you)
When you're doing what you do
I 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
When you do it, be you, be you, be you
