Teddy Obot - Be Honest Lyrics

I'm still learning to be honest
And the truth is I'm not always straight up but I'm on it
Vulnerability is power
Maybe the truth is more than a good thing strength I've been missing
When words lack conviction it's nothing but fiction

Fear enforces foreign reasons
Feel the force and it's forcin' a feelin'
I post it on my history
To shape the way you look at me

But knowing yourself ain't easy
Nowhere to hide these feelings
I'm settin' aside my ego
I'm willing for whenever we go there
If we go there

I'm still learning to be honest
And the truth is I'm not always straight up but I'm on it
Vulnerability is power
Maybe the truth is more than a good thing Strength I've been missing
When words lack conviction it's nothing but fiction

Ooh, I know there's something about you
I can see the hope in your views
But you decorate your history
With shapes, colors and sizes to fit society

Sensibly self inflicted
Unnecessary encryption
An urgency undetected
Ensuring that my behavior is unusual to me
And so it is you see
That honestly

I'm still learning to be honest
And the truth is I'm not always straight up but I'm on it
Vulnerability is power
Maybe the truth is more than a good thing Strength I've been missing
When words lack conviction it's nothing but fiction

A wise words been shown to have the power to change the course and flow of history
But a wise word ain't nothing but a truthful statement that's been dipped in honesty
Have you ever stopped to think the truth you're given is responsibility

Been wonderin lately
Been running lately
Running late see,
Got a date with myself
Things to address that got nothing to do with nobody else
I'm just tryna know myself

I'm still learning to be honest...

Just wanna be honest
Tryna be honest, oh honest, yeah
Honest, honest, honest, yeah
On it, on it
Truth is more than a good thing
Words lack conviction, nothing but fiction
