Dirty Lies

Version)” [Intro – eerie strings, 808 slide] Yeah… Whole town talkin’… But they don’t know nothin’… ⸻ [Hook – chant style, cold delivery] On a dime — she switched sides On a dime — told them lies On a dime — I’m crucified Whole time she double-tied Baby on the way, truth on pause Now my name in police reports ⸻ [Verse 1] She said she left him, I believed that cap Whole time she was runnin’ it back Told me I’m different, I’m not like dude Guess I was just convenient too Late night texts sayin’ “you my peace” Next week she back in his sheets That’s foul play, that’s dirty work Smile in my face while she dig my dirt Now I’m painted like I lost my head Off words she fed Twisted statements, bent that script All so she ain’t gotta admit Blue lights flashin’ at my door I’m lookin’ at ‘em like “what for?” Accusations out the blue Built off lies that never grew ⸻ [Hook – harder] On a dime — she switched sides On a dime — told them lies Now it’s “he’s unstable” Just so she can sit at his table Baby on the way, truth on mute Whole town judge off no proof ⸻ [Verse 2 – heavier punchlines] Small town gossip move like waves Everybody talk but nobody brave Family spread rumors like wildfire smoke All off stories she half-spoke They debate who the father is Like I ain’t got skin in this I ain’t even seen her face Still feel tied to that space Could be mine, could be his Math don’t lie but she does, it is what it is If that bloodline trace back me I’m standin’ firm, that’s fact, no flee You can smear my name for now But truth don’t stay underground Time reveal what lies conceal Steel sharp, but facts more real ⸻ [Bridge – beat strips down] I ain’t perfect, I admit that But I never did what she said, that’s fact You don’t frame a man to clear your slate That karma circle don’t show up late ⸻ [Final Hook – full beat drop] On a dime — she switched lanes Left me standin’ in the rain Baby here and I still don’t know But if she’s mine, I won’t let go On a dime — she told that tale But truth don’t die, it prevails Whole town talk, let ‘em speak I’ll be standin’ on my feet ⸻ [Outro – dark fade] Yeah… Slide 808, let it breathe… Truth over rumor… always.
