Lyrics TELL THE TRUTH - Jon Batiste
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
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)
Live
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
(alright)
Lost
in
translation
People
all
across
the
nation
(oh,
yeah)
Just
say
it,
plain
and
simple
Amongst
the
complication
(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)
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!
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)
Live
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,
be
you,
be
you"
I
said,
"Tell
it
like
it
is
Now
do
it
like
you
do
Do
ya,
do
ya,
do,
do,
do,
do,
do,
do,
do
When
you're
doing
what
you
do
