Truth Lyrics

[Intro]
Is anybody there?
I mean I hope somebody out there can hear this right here
Just listen

[Chorus]
You're gonna drive me crazy (Don't do that)
You're gonna drive me mad (Don't do that)
Better things are coming
I said there's truth in that

[Verse 1]
Ayo, it's better things, can you hear 'em sing?
Ain't this like a celebration?
Switch gears to the top we steer
Notice my acceleration
I do it for the have-nots
For the boy playing ball on the block
Xaphoon told me that this was the shot
So I stopped skipping math, but I came with a plot
Plot, I've prolly moved onto my next axis
And if she calling, I don't care 'bout what my ex asks
Why? 'Cause I'm in a lab like Bill Nye the Science Guy
Flyer than fly, I could jump over top of the Empire State Building, just glide

[Chorus]
You're gonna drive me crazy (Don't do that)
You're gonna drive me mad (Don't do that)
Better things are coming
I said there's truth in that
[Verse 2]
Harder to fail, you see a train
Don't be the fool that jumps on the rail
High on the scale, if I nail, girl say
That I am well-endowed like Harvard and Yale
Ladies' man, Jesse Katsopolis
I'm getting shows booked, I'll be the novelist
Superman, metropolis, I profit off my topic pics
Periodically, I'm in my element, Phosphorus
I'm prosperous
Say we loud and too rockerish
Pro, how long are you locked in this?
I say until apocalypse, I got this sh—

[Chorus]
You're gonna drive me crazy (Don't do that)
You're gonna drive me mad (Don't do that)
Better things are coming
I said there's truth in that

[Bridge]
Is anybody there?
I mean I hope somebody out there can hear this right here
Just listen
I say until apocalypse, I got this sh—
[Chorus]
You're gonna drive me crazy (Don't do that)
You're gonna drive me mad (Don't do that)
You got an angel on your shoulder
Making hairpins outta glass
Baby, don't be unhappy
Baby, don't be said
Better things are coming
I swear there's truth in that
(Don't do that)

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
