Exaggeration Of Allegations - JohnnieB

Lyrics

( Johnnie B On The Beat ) Guess I’m the man who cried truth and they called it a game, Said I made it all up ’cause I wouldn’t say names. But when the village gets quiet and the wolves leave stains, Don’t blame me when the bite looks worse than the claim. I ain’t Little Johnnie howling just to scare the town, I’m JohnnieB watching all the fake shit circle around. One side wants facts, one side wants sound, So I put both together and let the truth touch ground. I saw red flags dressed up like friends, Saw fake support with a knife in the end. Saw gossip grow legs and start walking again, Then they asked why my trust got thin. Big John said, “Tell truth, but keep your soul clean,” Little Johnnie said, “Drag ’em through the whole damn scene.” JohnnieB said, “Fuck it, I’ll stand between, And turn every allegation into gasoline.” You can call it exaggerated, but don’t call it fake, Sometimes pain talks loud when it’s carrying weight. Sometimes a warning sounds wild when it comes too late, Sometimes the wolf looks small till it’s at your gate. Hook Exaggerations of allegations, Truth got stretched through bad translations. They called me wrong with no explanation, Now the facts came back with confirmation. Exaggerations of allegations, Rumors turned into conversations. You can call me dramatic, call it imagination, But I saw the wolf before the whole damn nation. Verse 2 See, I mocked the accusations just to flip the script, Made sarcasm bite when the fake ones slipped. Didn’t drop names, but the guilty got pissed, Funny how silence starts sweating when truth exists. If it wasn’t about you, why the fuck you mad? If it wasn’t your shoe, why it fit that bad? If it wasn’t your story, why you grabbed that tag? If it wasn’t your dirt, why you guarding that bag? I lived it already as the scapegoat kid, Got blamed for shit that the whole room hid. Had to grow from the mud where the old me slid, Now I write what I saw, not what they forbid. I’m not here to prove every scar on command, Not here to hand out maps to where I had to stand. Not here to beg belief from a fake-ass clan, I’m just telling my side like a grown-ass man. The church bell rang when the facts got louder, Truth walked in and the lies lost power. Every false story started tasting sour, Now the wolf in the field got exposed by the hour. Hook Exaggerations of allegations, Truth got stretched through bad translations. They called me wrong with no explanation, Now the facts came back with confirmation. Exaggerations of allegations, Rumors turned into conversations. You can call me dramatic, call it imagination, But I saw the wolf before the whole damn nation. Verse 3 I ain’t saying I’m perfect, I’m saying I survived, Saying some shit was twisted, but some shit was live. Saying every rumor had a knife on the side, And every damn lie had a truth trying to hide. They wanted me quiet so the story stayed neat, Wanted me wrong so their version stayed clean. Wanted me crazy so nobody believed, But the same damn wolf left tracks by the trees. So call me dramatic, call me loud, call me wrong, But don’t act shocked when it ends in a song. I held that weight for too damn long, Now every allegation got a hook that belongs. Little Johnnie cried wolf from the dark in his head, Big John told truths with grace instead. JohnnieB stands where both sides bled, Turning all that noise into proof when it’s said. So apparently all I say are lies, right? Then why does every line make the room get tight? Why does every fake smile lose its light? Why does every wolf run when I grab that mic? Hook Exaggerations of allegations, Truth got stretched through bad translations. They called me wrong with no explanation, Now the facts came back with confirmation. Exaggerations of allegations, Rumors turned into conversations. You can call me dramatic, call it imagination, But I saw the wolf before the whole damn nation.
