[Intro: Tony Tillman & Stephanie Teague]
Yeah
You cannot have your own truth
You cannot have your own truth
[Verse 1: Christopher Teague]
The truth is under attack
Deceptive schemes seems so pristine
We glean from newsfeeds and magazines
Just light a match and pour the gasoline, mmm
If we don't identify the sly, poison lies
Disguised by vile devices, yeah
[Chorus: Stephanie Teague]
Truth is truth no matter what it is
You can't say mine is mine and his is his
Emotional notions are a poor excuse for proof
But that's how some use half-truths on you
Oh, there's no time for blurring the lines
You can have your own opinion
But you cannot have your own truth
You cannot have your own truth
You cannot have your own truth
[Verse 2: Christopher Teague, Christopher Teague & Stephanie Teague]
The world is hard pushing back, well now
You tell me are we truly free to speak
And say things that we believe?
Will we surrender to the enemy? Yeah
With a gun to my head
Would I say what he said?
Would I sway from a threat or die for it?
[Chorus: Stephanie Teague, Stephanie Teague & Christopher Teague]
The truth is truth no matter what it is
You can't say mine is mine and his is his
Some get offended when their friend buy the truth
And that's why they do those things they do
Oh, there's no time for blurring the lines
You can have your own opinion
But you cannot have your own truth
[Post-Chorus: Stephanie Teague]
You'll find there's hope and peace
Free from complexity when you know the truth, oh
You might find it in yourself but
It's there from someone else
And when you know you'll finally see
It will set you free
[Bridge: Tony Tillman]
Yeah, it's the new age of manipulation, they so clever (They so clever)
I see wings but behind the scene they so devil (Uh)
They levitating while telling me that I'm low level (Low level)
You mean to tell me that Benz gon' make me roll better?
Okay that image got me shook like that
Empty my wallet for that product, I get took like that
Wanna be fly as Peter Pan 'cause I'm hooked like that
Get liposuction if them pants make me look like that
Won't be a slave to opinions
I'm annoyed, they words buggin' (Buggin')
Claiming they got their own truth (Uh), the nerve of 'em
It's so absurd to serve lies that serve nothing
But you think truth is relative like my third cousin, yeah
[Chorus: Stephanie Teague & Christopher Teague]
Truth is truth no matter what it is
You can't say mine is mine and his is his, yeah
Emotional notions are a poor excuse for proof
But that's how some use half-truths on you
Oh, there's no time for blurring the lines (There's no time, oh)
You can have your own opinion
But you cannot have your own truth (Mm-mmm)
You cannot have your own truth (Mm-mmm)
You cannot have your own truth
[Outro: Christopher Teague & Stephanie Teague]
Cannot have your, oh, no, no, no (You cannot have your own truth)
You cannot have your, oh, no, no, no (You cannot have your own truth)
You cannot have your (You cannot have your own truth)
You cannot have your
You cannot have your (You cannot have your own truth)
