Are ya'll gonna make me do somethin' crazy

Hmm, wait wait i gotta turn down the radio for this one
Wait h'm her best friend ill ask her the question

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Janet Jackson's "Truth" are a playful and provocative exploration of the game "truth or dare," and specifically the "truth" aspect of it. In these particular lyrics, Janet is being asked to share information about her past relationships - specifically, to describe the best ex-boyfriend she's ever had. There's a sense of hesitation in her response; she wants to be truthful, but also wants to make sure she's answering the question in a way that won't cause any trouble. The line "wait, wait, I gotta turn down the radio for this one" suggests that whatever she's about to say is going to be scandalous or controversial.


Overall, this section of the song speaks to themes of honesty and openness in relationships. It's about being willing to share intimate details about oneself, even if it might be uncomfortable or difficult. At the same time, it suggests that there are limits to what one should reveal - Janet is careful to avoid saying anything too incriminating or sensitive, and she relies on her friend to guide her in what to say.
