"Walk My Walk" lyrics

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
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'mma 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'mma keep on talking and walking my walk

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 the crowd
If I fall down, I'll fall down proud
I'll talk my truth, I'll live my way
Ain't nobody's ever gonna take my say
This road's been rough, but I learned to trade
It's sweat, souls, and dues I paid

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'mma 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'mma keep on talking and walking my walk

Let the haters talk, and the rumours 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'mma 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'mma keep on talking and walking my walk
