[Intro: Left-Eye]
Yo, this is a story of a male female threat to society
You know, being misjudged and not respected for what we are
But I wanna send this special shout out to my girl Tawana Brawley
'Cause no matter what we say or what we do
They'll always believe his story (Oww)

[Chorus: Chilli, T-Boz, Left-Eye]
His story (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
His story (Ow)
They're gonna believe
His story
His story (Ow)

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Why does it have to be that we get labeled for what we do?
It's hard enough for us to be ourselves without being used (Ow)
Girls have an image too
But when they get mad at you
There is no telling what they'll say to hurt you

[Bridge: Chilli, Chilli, T-Boz, Left-Eye]
This is a story of a male female threat to society (Ow)
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (Yeah yeah, oooh)
His story over mine his story will be his story
And my story is a waste of time (Ah, ah, ah)
They're gonna believe
[Chorus: Chilli, T-Boz, Left-Eye]
His story (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
His story (Ow)
They're gonna believe
His story
His story (Ow)

[Verse 2: T-Boz]
Sometimes I feel like there is no reason for me to explain
No matter how much we complain
You know it all stays the same (Ow)
They try to call us freaks
Why does it have to be?
We can't get justified until we speak up (Ooh)

Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (Yeah, yeah, ooh)

His story over mine his story will be his story
And my story is a waste of time (Ah, ah, ah)
(You know it's just a waste of my time)
They're gonna believe
His story over mine (Yeah)
(So what you gonna do? Don't let it take over you, hey)
My story is a waste of time
It's hard enough for us to be ourselves without being used
(This-this-this-this-this-this-this-the-this-this)
[Breakdown: Left Eye, (Chilli, T-Boz, Left-Eye)]
(His story) So, yo, take it from me
Don't be a victim of society (His story)
You can't put yourself in a position to be neglected
And disrespected (His story)
