lyrics

well, they like to spread them lies around this town
push themselves up while they try to hold me down
they heard from a friend that I get around

did they tell you, I been 'round lookin for you
did you buy half but pay for the whole truth

people talk often just to pass the time
I can't blame them for having a simple mind
they heard from a friend that I crossed the line

did they tell you I crossed it lookin for you
did you buy half but pay for the whole truth

word on the street is that I had a heavy night
caught me south of north street with two black eyes
they heard from a friend that I was in a fight

did they tell you that I was fightin' for you
did you buy half but pay for the whole truth

if it's dirt you're looking for maybe you'll find it
I got a dirty past and I won't hide it
Made a change in my life for the truth
but I still ain't as clean as my intentions
with you

they whisper rumors all around this town
smiling at my pain to diminish their frown
they heard from a friend that I came unbound

did they tell you that I was bound for you
did you buy half but pay for the whole truth

did they tell you that I was fightnin for you
did you buy half
