Paroles
[Verse 1]
You put my name where the rumors go
Dress up a guess like a thing you know
Tell me how I ought to walk and speak
Then call me weak when I don't look meek
You say I'm broke like that proves your case
But you can't buy truth or borrow my face
I know what happened, I know what's mine
I won't bend just to fit your line
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it loud, say it twice
Doesn't make your version right
I won't answer every lie
I can look you in the eye
[Chorus]
I stand tall, I don't beg
Truth is steady underfoot
Sort your words, sort your mess
Don't pin your choices on my name
You don't get to write my life
You don't get to call me bought
I stand tall, I don't beg
I know the truth, and that's enough
[Verse 2]
You hint that somebody pays my way
Make up a story, then call it a day
I'm not your escort, not your sugar baby
Quit speaking on me like you know me, maybe
You were the one out there having your fun
Now you point at me when the questions come
Keep your threats; they don't change the facts
I won't wear a lie you invented to act
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it loud, say it twice
Doesn't make your version right
I won't answer every lie
I can look you in the eye
[Chorus]
I stand tall, I don't beg
Truth is steady underfoot
Sort your words, sort your mess
Don't pin your choices on my name
You don't get to write my life
You don't get to call me bought
I stand tall, I don't beg
I know the truth, and that's enough
[Bridge]
Keep the rumors, keep the blame
I won't carry what you made
My own steps, my own say
I know the truth; I'll be okay
[Final Chorus]
I stand tall, I don't beg
Truth is steady underfoot
Sort your words, sort your mess
Don't pin your choices on my name
You don't get to write my life
You don't get to call me bought
I stand tall, I don't beg
I know the truth, and that's enough
[Outro]
I know the truth
That's enough
You put my name where the rumors go
Dress up a guess like a thing you know
Tell me how I ought to walk and speak
Then call me weak when I don't look meek
You say I'm broke like that proves your case
But you can't buy truth or borrow my face
I know what happened, I know what's mine
I won't bend just to fit your line
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it loud, say it twice
Doesn't make your version right
I won't answer every lie
I can look you in the eye
[Chorus]
I stand tall, I don't beg
Truth is steady underfoot
Sort your words, sort your mess
Don't pin your choices on my name
You don't get to write my life
You don't get to call me bought
I stand tall, I don't beg
I know the truth, and that's enough
[Verse 2]
You hint that somebody pays my way
Make up a story, then call it a day
I'm not your escort, not your sugar baby
Quit speaking on me like you know me, maybe

Now you point at me when the questions come
Keep your threats; they don't change the facts
I won't wear a lie you invented to act
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it loud, say it twice
Doesn't make your version right
I won't answer every lie
I can look you in the eye
[Chorus]
I stand tall, I don't beg
Truth is steady underfoot
Sort your words, sort your mess
Don't pin your choices on my name
You don't get to write my life
You don't get to call me bought
I stand tall, I don't beg
I know the truth, and that's enough
[Bridge]
Keep the rumors, keep the blame
I won't carry what you made
My own steps, my own say
I know the truth; I'll be okay
[Final Chorus]
I stand tall, I don't beg
Truth is steady underfoot
Sort your words, sort your mess
Don't pin your choices on my name
You don't get to write my life
You don't get to call me bought
I stand tall, I don't beg
I know the truth, and that's enough
[Outro]
I know the truth
That's enough
Style de musique
Defiant contemporary hip-hop with a tense half-time groove, punchy kick and dry snare, deep restrained bass, sparse minor-key piano stabs, and subtle percussive details. Close, assertive female rap vocal with crisp diction and controlled intensity; verses stay lean, chorus opens into a memorable melodic chant, final refrain gains stacked harmonies. Polished, uncluttered mix with vocal upfront.
