CACs this thread aint for you. Black folks, I know you've heard your uncle say this shyt. I've heard this saying all my life. My mama used to say it all the time, I've said it without ever thinking bout it. But wtf does it mean and how tf did someone come up with it?

It makes so much sense but doesn't make sense at all..

It is what it T.I. is.

The "TIS" is an old adage that was used by FBAs which stands for "truth is sacred."
