Capo II
One shot from the lawman's gun
My father paid for the things he done
Momma got old when she was 31
I was born alone I?m William?s son
Back and forth to the foster home
Till I figured out I was better off alone
I hold my head high when I walk these streets
Get suspicious looks from the people I meet
I?ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
Just to keep my head from hangin down
Ain?t gonna hide and I ain?t gonna run
Hell ya'll know me I?m William?s son
Verse 2
I know it ain?t right to feel this way
But I?m kinda glad my dad got blown away
I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean
But me and my sister was not to blame
I?ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
Just to keep my head from hangin down
Ain?t gonna hide and I ain?t gonna run
Hell ya'll know me I?m William?s son
Some days I can see some hope
I?ve never been to jail and I don?t do dope
But every now and then I kneel and pray
That things?ll get better one of these days
I?ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
Just to keep my head from hangin down
Ain?t gonna hide and I ain?t gonna run
Hell ya'll know me I?m William?s son
Ya'll know me I?m William?s son
