Walk My Walk

Mm-hm-mm

Been beat down, but I don't stay low
Got mud on my jeans, still ready to go
Every scar's a story that I survived
I've been through hell, but I'm still alive

They say, "Slow down, boy, don't go too fast"
But I ain't never been one to live in the past
I keep moving forward, never looking back
With a worn-out hat and a six-string strap

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'ma keep on talking and walk my walk
Ain't changing my tone, ain't changing my song
I was born this way, been loud too long

You can hate my style, you can roll your eyes
But I ain't slowing down, I was born to rise
So kick them rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'ma keep on talking and walk my walk

Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm, mm

I've lost some friends, made a few new foes
But that's just life, that's how it goes
I ain't bending over just to please a crowd
If I fall down, I'll fall down proud

I talk my truth, I live my way
Ain't nobody gonna take my say
This road's been rough, but I learned the trade
It's sweat, soul, and dues I paid

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'ma keep on talking and walk my walk
Ain't changing my tone, ain't changing my song
I was born this way, been loud too long

You can hate my style, you can roll your eyes
But I ain't slowing down, I was born to rise
So kick them rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'm gon' keep on talking and walk my walk (mm, mm)

Let the haters talk, let the rumors fly
I ain't got time to wonder why
The good Lord knows the man I am
And I'll die standing tall with a mic in my hand

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'm gon' keep on talking and walk my walk
Ain't selling my soul for a seat at your table
I'm rough, I'm raw, I'm wild, I'm able

You can hate my fire, but you can't kill my spark
I'm a midnight flame burning through the dark
So kick them rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'ma keep on talking and walk my walk

You can kick rocks (mm-mm)
You can kick rocks (mm-mm)
You can kick rocks (mm-mm)
I'ma keep on talking and walk my walk

Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm, mm
