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.

Just for a moment
My love I'm showing you
Hoping you'll notice
Where I was going
I can't let go of you
It's alright, just call me & imma make it right
So dark now & imma make it bright
I want you, baby you're my type
Just listen to me one more time
That empty look thats in your eyes
Just call me & imma make it right
I feel it, feel it deep inside
Cause things been bad too long
Take me to your heart
Where nothing can go wrong
Sleeping in your arms
I'm trying to stay strong
The world holds us apart
I'll cross it, risk the fall
Want you to take my all
Just admit it, imma make it make a million
Off of singing 'bout you baby take a listen
I know they wanna copy, always asking how I did it
You're asking lots of questions man you seem like a beginner
And i'm runnin 'round the city on a mission
Making money like it's growing on trees
Please don't DM me im tired of these children
Just some children found a mic and started bitching
It's alright, just call me & imma make it right
So dark now & imma make it bright
I'll wander deep into the night
I want you, baby you're my type
Just listen to me one more time
That empty look thats in your eyes
Just call me & imma make it right
I feel it, feel it deep inside
Hoping you'll notice
Just for a moment
My love i'm showing you
Hoping you'll notice
Where I was going
I can't let go of you
Did you know?
Did you know?
