Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
They can tell it how they want
You know who I am
[Verse 1]
Dad, why do they tell lies about you?
Because the truth takes time and a lie gets through
They pass it around like a family name
Then act surprised when it sets a house aflame
Your baby mamas trade stories at the sink
Leaving out the parts that make the whole thing stink
They need a villain just to sleep at night
So they sharpen every memory till it fits their fight
[Pre-Chorus]
But you saw the miles, you saw the doors
You saw the hands that kept us fed and warm
They can rewrite every year they knew
But they can't rewrite what we lived through
[Chorus]
You kids know me, you know my heart
You know who stayed when the hard days started
Let them talk behind my back if that's what they need
A lie is cheap, but the truth don't leave
You kids know me, that's all I ask
No courtroom words, no family mask
When the room goes cold and the stories run free
Look me in the eye—you kids know me
[Verse 2]
They justify their picture of the man I am
With a half-told tale and a borrowed plan
One says I vanished, one says I never cared
But both forget the nights I was already there
Working double shifts with a cracked phone screen
Missing pieces of myself so you could chase a dream
I wasn't perfect, I won't dress it up
But every scar I carry came from showing up
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I stumbled, I admitted what I did
Never put the blame on a child who was a kid
They can build a case from the scraps they choose
But you remember every ride, every meal, every truth
[Chorus]
You kids know me, you know my heart
You know who stayed when the hard days started
Let them talk behind my back if that's what they need
A lie is cheap, but the truth don't leave
You kids know me, that's all I ask
No courtroom words, no family mask
When the room goes cold and the stories run free
Look me in the eye—you kids know me
[Bridge]
I won't make you pick a side
I won't poison what you feel inside
If they need my name to carry their pain
I'll let the thunder roll across the plain
But when your own memories call
You'll know I was there through it all
[Final Chorus]
You kids know me, you know my heart
You know who stayed when the hard days started
Let them talk behind my back till the last word's gone
The truth keeps walking when the rumor moves on
You kids know me, and I know you too
No matter what they say, I believe in you
When the room goes cold and the stories run free
Look me in the eye—you kids know me
[Outro]
Dad, why do they tell lies about you?
Because the truth is harder to carry through
But you kids know me
And that's enough for me

rap-country crossover, midtempo acoustic guitar strums, dusty dobro accents, restrained live drums, deep 808 sub beneath the chorus, gritty conversational male rap verses, warm melodic male country hook, tense verses opening into a defiant singalong refrain, dry intimate vocal production with roomy gang harmonies on the final chorus
