Hm-hm-hm

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'm gonna 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 gonna keep on talking and walk my walk

I've lost my 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 gonna take my say
This road's been rough, but I learned to tradе
It's sweat, sold, and dues I paid

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk
I'm gonna keep on talking and walk my walk
Ain't changing my tonе, 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 gonna keep on talking and walk my walk

Let the haters talk, let 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'm gonna 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'm gonna keep on talking and walk my walk

You can kick rocks
You can kick rocks
You can kick rocks
I'm gonna keep on talking and walk my walk
