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 (Chorus) And I'll spit in your eye, 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 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 meand little sister, no we ain't to blame And we'll spit in your eye and stand our ground Just to keep our heads from hangin down We ain't gonna hide and we ain't gonna run Hell ya'll know me, I'm Wiliam's son And I'll spit in your eye, 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 I'm William's son
