I Put Grief In Check

Verse 1

I didn't know that I was strong until he left me

And all the tears had filled my eyes

I had to find a way to get my heart right

So I had to face the five

Verse 2

First one came talkin', callin' me out his name

"Denial" was his first name

He tried to tell me that it wasn't real

I said, "Boy, you're trippin' if you think I believe"

I put that man in check

Verse 3

Then came a mean one, his name was "Anger"

Man, he was a real dang-er

He said, "Hit and kick, break a few dishes"

I said, "Not on my watch, no, sir"

I put that man in check

Pre-Chorus

And the Reaper, he's been stalkin'

He's been waitin', he's been watchin'

Prayin' all this stress gon' give me a heart attack

A little shot of poison, get me on a hospital gurney

He's been hopin' that I'm weak, but he forgot one thing

Chorus

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

Verse 4

Third one came whisperin', "What you'd give?"

"Bargainin'" is how he lived

Said, "Try, try again, maybe God'll listen"

I just told the man, "I got Jesus, I ain't missin'"

I put that man in check

Verse 5

Fourth one was a crybaby, his name was "Depression"

He said, "I know how it all ends"

"Cry 'til you're dry, ain't no use fightin'"

But I don't give up easy, I'm a fighter

I put that man in check

Pre-Chorus

And the Reaper, he's been stalkin'

He's been waitin', he's been watchin'

Prayin' all this stress gon' give me a heart attack

A little shot of poison, get me on a hospital gurney

He's been hopin' that I'm weak, but he forgot one thing

Chorus

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

Verse 6

Last one came down easy, his name was "Acceptance"

He said, "I can't even tempt this"

"You've come so far, you've been such a soldier"

You got stronger with every stage you conquered

You put that man in check

Pre-Chorus

And the Reaper, he's been stalkin'

He's been waitin', he's been watchin'

Prayin' all this stress gon' give me a heart attack

A little shot of poison, get me on a hospital gurney

He's been hopin' that I'm weak, but he forgot one thing

Chorus

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

Outro

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

I'm too strong (I'm too strong)

It's gon' take more than that to put me in the ground

I'm too strong
