word up
That's the truth
Word up is a casual greeting or expression of agreement, emerging from African American slang in the 1980s.
As a greeting, it's roughly equivalent to "what's up" or "hey": Word up, how you been?
As agreement or affirmation, it means "that's right" or "I agree": Word up, that's exactly what I'm saying.
The shortened form word carries the same affirmative sense.
