Lyrics
### Prove It On Me Blues (2024 Remix)
**Verse 1:**
Went out last night with my best gal Sue,
People talkin', sayin' things that ain't true.
They say they saw me, but what do they know,
I'm just livin' my life, goin' with the flow.
**Chorus:**
You may doubt me, you can spread the news,
But you gotta prove it on me, give me my due.
Talk all you want, but it ain't no use,
I got the Prove It On Me Blues.
**Verse 2:**
Saw me with a bottle, dancin' real slow,
Gossip's burnin' up, like a wildfire's glow.
But what I do ain't none of their concern,
I got my own way, and lessons to learn.
**Chorus:**
You may doubt me, you can spread the news,
But you gotta prove it on me, give me my due.
Talk all you want, but it ain't no use,
I got the Prove It On Me Blues.
**Bridge:**
They point their fingers, try to bring me down,
But I'll keep on smilin', won't wear no frown.
Live my truth and stand my ground,
Their words ain't nothin' but a hollow sound.
**Verse 3:**
When the sun sets and the moon's on high,
I'll keep on movin', reachin' for the sky.
They can whisper and they can shout,
But they can't keep this soul in doubt.
**Chorus:**
You may doubt me, you can spread the news,
But you gotta prove it on me, give me my due.
Talk all you want, but it ain't no use,
I got the Prove It On Me Blues.
**Outro:**
So sing your song, and play your game,
But you can't tarnish my good name.
I'll rise above, and I'll refuse,
To be bound by the Prove It On Me Blues.
This song follows the style and thematic elements of Ma Rainey's classic blues song, capturing the defiant and self-assured tone while addressing rumors and gossip.
