Truth

Somebody asked me
What it really mean to be true
Somebody tell me
Tell me what it mean to you
You can't find it in a TV screen
You can't read it in a book no
You won't see it in the future
No matter how hard you look ya'll
You know truth ain't hard to find
You know sitting deep inside
And that truth can be in disguise
You don't have to go far
Truth is right where you are
Somebody asked me
What it really mean to be true
Somebody tell me
Tell me what it mean to you
You're trying to find it in the government ya'll
And look for it in the courthouse too
You try to speak it in the cell phone ya'll
Waiting to hear it on the radio news
You can't find it in a whisper
You can't find it in a shout no
You can't find it in a schoolyard
They sing about it in the church house
I said truth
Getting hard to find
You know truth
Somewhere deep inside
You know truth
It'll change your mind
And truth
It may be in disguise
You don't have to go far
Truth is right where you are
Got to got to got to got to got to got to got to
Gotta have a little truth now
Little truth now
How bout a little bit of
How bout a little bit of
Just a little bit of truth now
Somebody somebody somebody tell me
(truth
can't hide it
truth
can't fight it)
