WHO TOLD YOU?

V4.5-ALL

**[INTRO — soft male, whispered]**
You think you know me...
You think you've heard the story...
But there's one thing I wanna know—

**Who told you?**

**[VERSE 1 — male rap, low and controlled]**
You walked in with a story like you knew me from the start,
Had a list of little rumors like you mapped out every part.
You said you knew my reasons, said you knew what I had done,
Funny how you know the ending when the story's just begun.

Who gave you all the details?
Who filled you in?
Who told you what I think?
Who told you where I've been?

You speak like you've been standing
Right beside me every day,
But somehow all the things you know
Are things I never said.

**[PRE-CHORUS — female, rising]**
You know my name,
But do you know me?
You heard the words,
But did you hear the story?

**[CHORUS — female, haunting]**
Who told you?
Who told you I was like that?
Who told you?
Who gave you all the facts?
You think you've got the whole truth
Written in your hands—
But if you really know me...

**[Male, whispered]**
Who told you?

**[VERSE 2 — male rap, faster]**
Maybe you heard it from a friend of a friend of somebody,
Who heard it from a person who was probably guessing something.
By the time it got to you, it had changed a hundred ways,
Now you're looking at me like you know me from the page.

You took a little truth
And you stretched it into fiction,
Then you called it information
Like you had a firsthand witness.
You don't know what I meant,
You don't know what I saw,
You don't know what I kept
And you don't know what I lost.

So tell me—

Who told you?

**[PRE-CHORUS — female]**
You know my name,
But do you know me?
You heard the words,
But did you hear the story?

**[CHORUS — both]**
**[Female]**
Who told you?
Who told you I was like that?
Who told you?
Who gave you all the facts?

**[Male]**
You got a version of me
But you never got the truth—

**[Both]**
So if you think you know me...

**[Female]**
Who told you?

**[BRIDGE — female, quiet and eerie]**
Maybe you don't have to know
Every secret that I keep.
Maybe some things aren't yours to hear,
Some things belong to me.

**[Male, distant]**
And maybe what you heard...

**[Female]**
Was never true at all.

**[RAP BREAKDOWN — male, rapid]**
Who said it? Who heard it?
Who started the word?
Who changed it? Who shaped it?
Who made it absurd?
Who took what I said
And turned it into something
That sounded nothing like me
But somehow became everybody's version?

You don't know me.
You know a rumor.
You know a sentence.
You know a story.

But you don't know—

**[SUDDEN SILENCE]**

**[Female, whisper]**
Me.

**[FINAL CHORUS — huge]**
Who told you?
Who told you I was like that?
Who told you?
Who gave you all the facts?
You can keep your little story,
You can keep your little truth—

**[Both]**
But if you really think you know me...

**[Male]**
Who told you?

**[OUTRO — female, fading]**
You know my name...

**[Male, distant]**
That's all you know.

**[Female]**
So...

Who told you?
