Tell the Truth
Twelve24 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I grew up I crew up
That kid who needs love
Daddy's leaving and he ain't coming home tonight
It's my life and I fight just to breathe just to be
In inside I'm like tell me what it's all about
Rappers told me to smoke burn and sell coke
My mum ma told me that life will you know hope
Dad found his truth down the bottom of the bottle
I'm just a kid I don't know who to follow
Then you came like a knight and shinning amour
You said son won't you let me be your father
I started crying like that all that I wanted
Jesus you're the best thing that happened to me

It all about you and all you do
Can these words be left unsaid
If I don't speak out how would they know
So I get to tell the truth
How you gave you it all
All for Love so I open up and give you all me Life
This Love is amazing oo a oo a oo x2
This Love is amazing

I had enough
Stupid riddles
Tired of been played like a second fiddle
I got love
Not a little
Sick of been being stuck in the middle
Your amazing I can't change it
Your the greatest thought I'd let you know
And when these walls come crushing down
I know that you're still
writing the pages of my life and I'm praying that you put me on stages so can make you famous

It all about you and all you do
Can these words be left unsaid
If I don't speak out how would they know
So I gotta tell the truth
How you gave you it all
All for Love so I open up and give you all me Life
This Love is amazing oo a oo a oo x2
This Love is amazing

Said I use to be a sinner now I'm forgiving
I use to be so better but you change me forever now
I (tell the truth) you (you the truth) yea (the whole truth and nothing but it) x2

It all about you and all you do
Can these words be left unsaid
If I don't speak out how would they know
So I gotta tell the truth
How you gave you it all
All for Love so I open up and give you all me Life
This Love is amazing oo a oo a oo x2
This Love is amazing





Tell the truth you the truth the whole truth and nothing but it x2
This Love is amazing
