Tell the Truth
The Plug Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
I spoke to my bro the other day
He told me niggas changing boy
You know what I'm sayin'

How the fuck they leave us waitin'
Me and bro was patient
Learnt to whip at 14 shout out big homie no fake shit
Man he lost his savings
Married to the corner, I was married to the pavement
God gave me a chance, and I'll take it
I used to bag the whole box, it used to take me ages
I'm just going through these phases
If I pour another box, can you cop, are you sure?
We stay drippin' in Dior, YSL there you go (YSL there you go)
YSL I buy you more, all this money in my Goyard I can go and buy the store

First things first
I can, really get a nigga hit with ease
I don't, need more drama I need more lean
She can, get a new bag maybe Céline
I'ma disappear like I'm Houdini

I can go and buy the store now
Bitches fuckin' in the road now
Bought a Rollie it was bust down
I'm in the Bentley ain't no bus now
Switcharoo them bitches I can't cuff now
Fuck her in the mansion she get bust down
She a vegan but she eat meat
Porsche I got the two seat
Ain't in love with Keke
Fuck her when she greet me
The bankroll on overload
I'm too rich I don't need you hoes
Got more ice than an Eskimo
Got more checks than an envelope (Yuh!)
Makin' more than me I doubt it
Had to cut 'em off they doubted
I got a Bentley had to mount it
Too much money I can't count it (Rich!)

First things first
I can, really get a nigga hit with ease
I don't, need more drama I need more lean
She can, get a new bag maybe Céline
I'ma disappear like I'm Houdini

I've had fed chases, court cases, niggas writing statements
20 crackheads in my alleyway I'm telling 'em, "be patient"
Took the other side to war
Selling crack, run the whole UK on tour
I was so bummy wow but I'm getting money now
My fiend just asked me for a fix 'cause his nose is getting runny now
She just told me that's she's coming now
She my lady that's a thousand pound on shoes for her to run around

First things first
I can, really get a nigga hit with ease
I don't, need more drama I need more lean




She can, get a new bag maybe Céline
I'ma disappear like I'm Houdini

Overall Meaning

In "Tell The Truth" by The Plug, the rapper talks about his own journey and experiences, as well as how some people change when they start getting money. He talks about his loyalty to his friend, his struggle with drug addiction, and his success in the rap industry. In the first verse, The Plug refers to his early days, when he used to deal drugs to make a living, but also mentions how he was able to grow and learn from his experiences. He also talks about his friend who lost all his savings and how some people forget their roots when they start making money.


The chorus talks about The Plug's ability to make serious things happen with ease while also needing drugs to deal with the drama that's involved in his life. The second verse portrays The Plug's success story and his newfound riches, including a Bentley that he mounted, and how fame has transformed his life. However, it also mentions that he had to cut off some people who doubted him and how he can buy anything he wants with his overflow of money.


The final verse talks about The Plug's present situation as a well-known artist in the UK. He mentions his past struggles with drug addiction, and how some of his fans, fiends, and friends are still dealing with the same issues, but he is now in a position to help them. He expresses his love for his girlfriend by buying her a thousand-pound worth of shoes. The last line in the chorus talks about his ability to disappear just like the famous magician Houdini, which could signify his desire for privacy or simply his ability to escape negative situations.

He's pulling his weight more and more but he needs to tweak the autotune. Sounds a bit annoying sometimes
