[Verse 1] He said, "I'm living in my truth." I said, "Well, bless your heart. Does yours include the speed limit, Or just the easy part?" He said, "I feel it's seventy." The sign said thirty-five. The cop said, "Tell your feelings They're not licensed to drive." [Verse 2] She said, "I am a millionaire." Her debit card said no. She blamed the bank's bad energy For blocking her cash flow. "Your numbers aren't inclusive, And that balance isn't kind." The teller said, "I hear you, ma'am, But your card is still declined." [Chorus] Your truth needs a fact-check Before you pass it round You can holler at the compass But north ain't backing down I'll listen to your story But a claim still needs some proof You can have your own opinion You don't get your own truth [Verse 3] I found a screaming headline That proved my side was right I sent it round the family Before I read the site When the story fell to pieces I was tempted to deny But a lie that helps my argument Is still a dressed-up lie [Chorus] Your truth needs a fact-check Before you pass it round You can holler at the compass But north ain't backing down I'll listen to your story But a claim still needs some proof You can have your own opinion You don't get your own truth [Verse 4] The Lord who knows my story Sees the parts I like to hide He doesn't need a polished tale To stay here by my side He loves me through correction He can handle all my doubt I can trust Him with the truth of me— He won't walk out [Bridge] Lord, if truth costs me an argument Let my pride be what I lose You have never failed to love me— You're the truth I'm gonna choose [Final Chorus] Your truth needs a fact-check Before you pass it round You can holler at the compass But north ain't backing down I'll listen to your story But a claim still needs some proof You can have your own opinion You don't get your own truth [Outro] Tell your feelings they can ride— They just don't get to drive
