One shot from a lawman's gun

My father paid for the things he done

Mama got old when she was 31

I was born alone I'm william's son

Back and forth to the foster homes

Til 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 stand my ground

Just to keep my head from hanging down

Ain't gonna hide and I ain't gonna run

Hell ya'll know me I'm william's son

I know it ain't right to feel this way

But I'm kinda glad my daddy got blown away

I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean

But me and little sister no we ain't to blame

W e'll spit in your eye and stand our ground

Just to keep our heads from hanging down

We ain't gonna hide and we ain't gonna run

Hell ya'll know me I'm wiliam's son I'm wiliam's son

Some days I can see some hope

I never been to jail and I don't do dope

Every now and then I kneel and pray

That things will get better one of these days

I 'll spit in your eye stand my ground

Just to keep my head from hanging down

Ain't gonna hide and I ain't gonna run

Hell ya'll know me I'm william's son

I 'll spit in your eye stand my ground

Just to keep my head from hanging 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
