The Truth

[Intro]
The truth is something people fear
More than anything in the world
Yeah-yeah
Wanna tell you about it

[Verse 1]
Why do people fear the truth, mmm-mmm
It seem like no one wanna hear the truth, mmm-mmm-mmm
I said "why do people fear the truth?"
It seems like everyone's afraid of the truth, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Some people say that truth is the light
But when you lay it on 'em, they wanna fuss and fight
Tell someone a lie, and they'll believе you
But tell them the truth, and thеy'll surely deceive you
You can tell your best friend his woman is doin' wrong
But you might as well be lookin' down the barrel of a gun
I saw my friend's lover sneakin' out
But when I told him what I saw
He went and hit me in my mouth, yeah

[Bridge]
Lord, have mercy
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Truth is good
But the truth is also hell

[Verse 3]
The truth is the way, that's what everybody say
But if you try to tell it, you got hell to pay
Everyone's afraid of the truth
No one wanna hear the truth
