Swear Down

phrase

Tell the Truth; Used to stress that what someone’s saying is true or not exaggerated. Common in grime and road talk, it carries a tone of emphasis or disbelief, either to convince someone, (similar to “I promise!”), or to react when you’re shocked at what you’ve heard, (similar to “do you promise?”).
