It sounds like a more poetic way of saying actions speak louder than words.

I think she is trying to say that most of the time we act the way other people like us to be but under certain circumstances we show who we really are, for example upsetting situations! and that's what you should believe about that person, not the way he or she acts under perfect conditions!

Basically that many people put up a facade. But when you see the core of their character via their external actions then you can believe whether or not their words match who they say they are.

When the facade of everyday life finally drops what is left behind is all that can be trusted in the world - the truth. If someone lets you see their true self accept them for who they are.

i totally agree wit dat quote (haha gangsta impersonation) I think it means if some one is acting like the real person they are instead of frontin you should believe that this is who they are and you should accept them for it.
