Truth Be Told

It's Zayy
It's Zayy
It's Zayy
It's Zayy (Nahriyaha)

It's Zayy
It's Zayy (They told me speak what's on my mind)

Even though I kept my distance, you knew I was always there
Truth be told, a nigga push away when he be scared
Wish I had a better way of showing you that I care (Nahriyaha)

We can argue through the night, I'll still hold you til the morning
Don't you jump to no conclusions, girl just hop in this foreign
I guess I'll right all of my wrongs on the road while we touring
I could teach you how to ball, dish assists, have you scoring

I was the one who held you when yo brother called from that jail
And at that time I didn't know him, I'm just wishing him well
I had to check myself before I end up next in that cell
Love letters hit the most when that shit come through the mail

And we both hold on to secrets that we know we won't tell
You know I never trust these hoes, they leech for info to sell
The more you know, the more you grow, it's crazy that get you killed
I know some niggas touching guns but they not out in that field

But all that pain that I was holding, I had lost to a pill
Dreaming with my eyes open, when I crack open seals
I hate me too for what I did so yeah I know how you feel
They saying time could fix them wounds, so I'm just praying you heal

Even though I kept my distance, you knew I was always there
Truth be told, a nigga push away when he be scared
Wish I had a better way of showing you that I care (Nahriyaha)

But girl I made mistakes, I can't take away
All that built up pain, I'm ashamed
Life is just a game, all 'bout how you play

Day by day, had to walk through rain
Will it be the same?
Switching lanes, will we ever change?
Go against the grain?

When I seen you cry, it made me think about my old ways
Why can't we be happy like they was back in them old days?
Running out of love, I guess that shit was just a small phase
'Cause when I didn't have to, I still put you first, always

Gotta show me different, you love me? That's what they all say
Diary of a flexing nigga, caught me in my Dog Days
Rolling with a Barbie, you can catch me where the dolls stay
I don't feel I've done enough until my niggas all paid

Ima grind so y'all don't have to, ima make sure that we all straight
Gotta watch yo people, 'cause to me them bitches all fake
Everybody not yo friend, I learned that shit the hard way
I'm up like thirty on them niggas who laughed in them hallways

Even though I kept my distance, you knew I was always there
Truth be told, a nigga push away when he be scared
Wish I had a better way of showing you that I care

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Nahriyaha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Nahriyaha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Nahriyaha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Nahriyaha)

Now even though I kept my distance, you knew I was always there
Truth be told, a nigga push away when he be scared
Wish I had a better way of showing you that I care (oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (it's Zayy)
Yeah, yeah (it's Zayy), yeah, yeah (it's Zayy)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
