He first got into music as a teenager, listening to contemporary Christian music and becoming a talented drummer. He said, "I had no interest in rap music. As a matter of fact, I was disenchanted with the whole idea of rap." However, Da' T.R.U.T.H. soon discovered his gift of free-styling, co-founded the group NIV, and gained his new nickname at the age of 19 to minister "da truth" to the urban culture. Da' T.R.U.T.H. is a graduate of Philadelphia Biblical University and the Institute of Jewish Studies.

Da' T.R.U.T.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
In circles
I don't know with them thangs
You don't know about the pain
Some things are awfully strange
Baby stay in your lane
Got a gift to give
Why you look so pissed
It ain't that serious
We've been through this and through this
And through this and through this and through
Over and over and over and
And over and over and over again
Cause all we do is run around, run around
In circle
Oh lord
And all we do is run around, run around
In circle
On again, off again
You keep pondering
About why we even bothering
To finish what we started
Shit
I was under the impression that
We ignore the fact
Of my crazy past
Only way this last
You give me chance
Like a number three hat
Fuck if girls and they feedback
Act like we need that
Negativity feedback
With the same shit
Whole lip bite tongue
Whole lit I'm young
If you leave there's more 'bout to come
Why don't you holler at me
When you're done
God damn
We've been through this and through this
And through this and through this and through
Say all the shit you want have
you can even block my phone
Cause we keep doing this
Over and over and over and
And over and over and over again
A nigga really tried
But girl I'm tired
Look man
You should find God damn
Cause all we do is run around, run around
In circle
And all we do is run around, run around
In circle
All we do is run around, run around
In circle
When we fight
We run our miles
And it just hurts you
All we do when we fight
Is be rude to each other
I can't do another night
Talking shit over supper
Something new in my life
I'm so sick of the same old
Losing my mind
Spinning out the same hole
Cause all we do is run around, run around
In circles
And all we do is run around, run around
In circles
Cause all we do is run around, run around

Baby stay in your lane
Please stick to your role and avoid causing unnecessary complications.
Got a gift to give

We've been through this and through this

Again and again, without making progress.
And over and over and over again
Repeating the same patterns and mistakes.
On again, off again
Our relationship keeps fluctuating between being together and breaking up.

Something new in my life

Losing my mind
I am becoming mentally overwhelmed and unstable.
Spinning out the same hole
Continuously facing the same problems and challenges.
