Tell The Truth
Shakaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you really wanna know the truth
Take a look inside of you
Ain't no one gonna push you through (push you through)
Is someone gonna be there for you
Chorus
You wanna know the truth
Ain't no one gonna push you though
You wanna second chance
But you ain't makin' no plans
You can talk but don't say what you won't do
Verse 1 (Simone)
You gotta have a plan
There's a reason for you to understand
Gotta change your attitude
Baby there's a life for you to choose
Don't have to ask why
You don't even make me wanna try
You gotta keep your head strong
There's a chance don't take too long
You don't wanna stuff it up this time
Pre Chorus (x2)
Chorus
Verse 2 (Naomi)
You said you want it so bad
Like you'll do anything
But you just never have
You said the past seemed so sad
Because of opportunities you've had
You said you wanna get so high
Reach up for the sky
You can look anywhere
But you know that it's all in you (it's all in you)
Pre Chorus
Chorus
The song "Tell The Truth" by Shakaya is a call for self-reflection and taking responsibility for one's actions. The pre-chorus emphasizes the importance of looking within oneself for the truth, as no one else can push you to find it. It's a reminder that we are in control of our own lives and decisions, and we must be accountable for them. The chorus repeats this message, highlighting the need to take action and make plans for the future rather than just talking about it.
The first verse sings about the significance of having a plan and a positive attitude. The message is clear - change your attitude, and you can change your life. The second verse speaks to the regret of missed opportunities due to past decisions but asserts that it's not too late to make a change. The focus is on the individual's power to achieve their potential and reach their goals.
