walk my walk

Verse 1

Been knocked around, yeah I felt that pain

Walked through fire, danced in the rain

Got dirt on my boots, scars on my skin

But every loss just toughened my grin

They told me, “Kid, better slow that pace”

But I’ve been chasing dreams, not playing it safe

I don’t rewind, I don’t replay

I live right now, yeah I own my way

Pre-Chorus

You can talk all you want, throw shade my way

I’ve heard it all, got nothing to say

I’m still standing, strong and tall

Didn’t break then, won’t break at all

Chorus

So kick those stones if you don’t like me

I ain’t here to fit your scene

I’ll speak my truth, I’ll walk my line

This voice, this fire — it’s all mine

Ain’t changing face, ain’t changing tone

I built this life, I made this home

You can doubt, you can criticize

But I was born, yeah, I was born to rise

Verse 2

Lost some people, gained some scars

Learned real quick who you really are

Some turned cold, some stayed real

That’s just life, that’s how you feel

I won’t bow just to earn your praise

I won’t dim just to fit your gaze

If I fall, I’ll fall with pride

Get back up, no place to hide

Pre-Chorus

Let ‘em whisper, let ‘em judge

I don’t carry all that grudge

I keep moving, step by step

No regrets, no second guess

Chorus

So kick those stones if you don’t like me

I ain’t here to fit your scene

I’ll speak my truth, I’ll walk my line

This voice, this fire — it’s all mine

Ain’t changing face, ain’t changing tone

I built this life, I made this home

You can doubt, you can criticize

But I was born, yeah, I was born to rise

Bridge

I won’t sell my soul for a seat at your table

I’m raw, I’m real, yeah I’m more than able

You can try, but you can’t dim this spark

I’m a wildfire lighting up the dark

Let the noise fade, let the truth stay loud

I stand alone, I stand unbowed

Outro / Chorus

So kick those stones if you don’t like me

I’ll still be who I’m meant to be

Talking my truth, walking my way

No matter what they do or say

Ain’t slowing down, I’ve come too far

I know exactly who you are

You can hate, but I’ll still rise

Yeah, I was born… I was born to rise
