[Chorus: J.I.D & Mereba]
And if I'm trying to tell the truth, it's all bad
'Cause if you looking for the proof, it's all there
Come on baby, I'ma tell the truth and nothing but the truth
You can't handle the truth, you can't handle it, ahh
And if I'm trying to tell the truth, it's all bad
'Cause if you looking for the proof, it's all there
Come on baby, I'ma tell the truth and nothing but the truth
You can't handle it, you can't handle the truth, no

[Verse 1: J.I.D & Mereba]
And if I'm trying to tell the truth, it's all bad
Baby, do you love me? I know that you do
I been trying so hard, I know I gotta be real with you
Can't be playing with hearts, I know you feel like you feel it too
I'm gon' step into the shade
I don't want the sun in my face, but I don't want to walk away
Without me saying what I have to say
And I been praying it's another way
But it's like mayhem on my fucking brain
I gotta say, I'm finna go insane, shame, shame
And I don't know what I can do (Fuck)
'Cause maybe you're past I
And maybe your last guy was probably just right for you
And baby, I can't fight the truth
Baby, I can't provide the proof
And baby, I can't fight with you, yeah

[Chorus: J.I.D & Mereba]
And since I'm trying to tell the truth, it's all bad
And since you're looking for the proof, it's all there
Come on baby, I'ma tell the truth and nothing but the truth
You can't handle the truth, you can't handle it
And since I'm trying to tell the truth, it's all bad
And since you're looking for the proof, it's all there
Come on baby, I'ma tell the truth and nothing but the truth
You can't handle the truth, you can't handle the truth, no

[Bridge: J.I.D & Mereba]
And since I'm trying to tell the truth
So tell me why you got to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie?
So tell me why you got to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie?

[Verse 2: Mereba]
See I'ma call it off here, boy this intuition ancient, oh
You ain't even really gotta say shit
I peep your in-the-cut shit, yeah, I'm a sharp motherfuck—er
No peace 'til we sleeping
We find reasons for deceiving
And then we both been keeping secrets
I remember when it felt like a dream
I hope it's a blessed world
Though I bet your next girl won't tell you the truth, like I do
It's just we were coasting on a new high
You never let slip that hand on my hip
It was Heaven, it was bliss 'til it flipped right
I ain't finna lie to you though
I ain't finna cry, never mind that you lied
That you spilled milk all on my clothes (fuck)
They say you reap what you sow
Lord knows that's some lies I've been told
Oooh watch it grow

[Outro: J.I.D & Mereba]
And I done finally heard the truth is all bad
I wasn't looking for the proof, but God damn
Come on baby, you should tell the truth, but baby fuck the truth
I can't handle it, you can't handle it

[Outro: Mereba]
You got me extremely fucked up

Destin Choice Route (b. October 31, 1990), better known by the stage name J.I.D, is an American rapper from Zone 6, Atlanta, Georgia. He describes himself as “a soft-spoken but intricate lyricist with a cocky side.” His stage name originates from “jittery,” his grandmother’s nickname for him due to his sporadic behavior as a child.

J.I.D began attending Hampton University on a football scholarship in the fall of 2008. At that time, he was nicknamed ‘Jidd’ and released music under multiple variations of that name. His first mixtape, CakeWalk, was released in May 2010 and featured a number of friends from Hampton. The tape also marked two of his earliest collaborations with EARTHGANG. He released his second mixtape, CakeWalk 2, in June 2011. J.I.D was expelled from Hampton at some point during his senior year. Route of Evil was released in June 2012 as J.I.D’s third mixtape. DJ Tay James, Justin Bieber’s official DJ, hosted each of these three mixtapes. J.I.D does not publicly acknowledge any of these tapes, and they are not easily discoverable on the internet.

In October 2013, J.I.D released Para Tu, his fourth mixtape. Around this time, he also officially created the Spillage Village collective with EARTHGANG, Hollywood JB, and JordxnBryant. J.I.D re-released Para Tu on SoundCloud in December 2017 after fans had discovered it and were posting it online.
