Lyrics True Story (Track By Track Commentary) - Kirk Franklin

So this next song is called True Story
You know, one thing that I've always felt like
Is that I felt like gospel music can be vertical conjugal songs
Most about songs in that genre but vertical, you know

Lord, I love you, Jesus, I love you
And that's a great thing
But we can also tell stories about horizontal that lead people to a vertical posture
And I wanted this song to do that
You know to just tell stories like country music does

You know, stories like pop music can do
Because Christian music can handle that type of narrative as well
And I wanted to do that on this song right here called True Story
