[Verse 1]
You said you changed
You swore you did
Told your friends I’d vouch for it
I hear my name in every fight
Like I was there
Like I picked sides
You spin the story
Bend it slow
Turn me to someone I don’t know
Every excuse that you roll out
Somehow you drag my name around
[Chorus]
Why you got my name in your mouth?
Every time you’re tryna talk your way out
You wear me like a mask
Like a crown
Then you toss me to the ground
You keep using my name to lie
Like a shield every time that you’re caught
But when all of your covers run dry
They’ll remember my face
And you’re not
[Verse 2]
You tell your mom I’m doing fine
While using me to cross that line
You make me promise things I never said
It’s like you’re living in my head
I’m getting tired of cleaning up
All of the blame
All of the dust
I’m not your alibi on call
I’m not the writing on your wall
[Chorus]
Why you got my name in your mouth?
Every time you’re tryna talk your way out
You wear me like a mask
Like a crown
Then you toss me to the ground
You keep using my name to lie
Like a shield every time that you’re caught
But when all of your covers run dry
They’ll remember my face
And you’re not
[Bridge]
Say it straight or don’t say it at all (say it)
If you speak about me
Speak it honest
Speak it raw (raw)
You built a house of cards on every borrowed word
Watch it fall
Watch it burn (watch it burn)
[Chorus]
Why you got my name in your mouth?
Every time you’re tryna talk your way out
You wear me like a mask
Like a crown
Then you toss me to the ground
You keep using my name to lie
Like a shield every time that you’re caught
When the truth finally cuts through the sky
They’ll remember my face
And you’re not (you’re not)
