Walk my walk     (video)

Em

Mm....

Em

1. Been beat down, but I don't stay low,

Am

got mud on my jeans, still ready to go.

C

Every scar's a story that I survived,

Am B7

I've been through hell, but I'm still alive.

Em

They say slow down, boy, don't go too fast,

Am

but I ain't never been one to live in the past.

- C

I keep moving forward, never looking back

B7

with a worn-out hat and a six-string strap.

Em

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk,

D

I'm gonna keep on talking and walk my walk,

Am

ain't changing my tone, ain't changing my song,

B7

I was born this way, been loud too long.

Em

You can hate my style, you can roll your eyes

D

but I ain't slowing down, I was born to rise

Am

so kick them rocks if you don't like how I talk,

B7

I'm gonna keep on talking and walk my walk.

+ Em - C - Am - Em - B7 (mm... )

Em

2. I've lost some friends, made a few new foes,

C

but that's just life, that's how it goes,

Am

I ain't bending over just to please the crowd,

B7

if I fall down, I'll fall down proud.

- Em

I'll talk my truth, I'll live my way,

- C

ain't nobody gonna take my say,

Am

this road's been rough, but I learned to trade,

B7

it's sweat, soul, and dues I paid. + CHORUS

Em C

+ Mm, let the haters talk, let the rumours fly,

Am

I ain't got time to wonder why.

B7

The good Lord knows the man I am,

Em

and I'll die standing, tall with a mic in my hand.

Em

You can kick rocks if you don't like how I talk

D

I'ma keep on talking and walk my walk

C

Ain't selling my soul for a seat at your table,

B7

I'm rough, I'm raw, I'm wild, I'm able.

Em

You can hate my fire but you can't kill my spark,

D

I'm a midnight flame burning through the dark,

C

so kick them rocks if you don't like how I talk

B7

I'm gon' keep on talking and walk my walk

Em D C

+ You can kick rocks ! You can kick rocks ! You can kick rocks !

B7

I'm gonna keep on talking and walk my walk.

+ Em - D - Am - B7 - Em
