[Short drum solo intro] [Verse 1/Intro; light acoustic guitar with slow light drum beat to keep the verse flowing until the pre-chorus] Make sure you know me before you talk shit I’ll be climbing up while they all quit Go ahead and tell me what you think Tell me what they say Throw me all your hate Put it out there on display [Pre-Chorus; Acoustic guitar and drum beat building leading up to the chorus] You can keep on talking all you want It won’t take away every-thing I got~[Aggressive belting vocal, drums speed up rapidly, acoustic guitar stops] [Chorus; Aggressive vocals made to prove a point, heavy electric guitar and drums] Cause I’ll keep going till I’m flying high It’s only failure if I don’t even try So go ahead and talk your talk While I walk my walk But if you’re gonna be a bitch Make sure you know me before you talk shit [Brief electric guitar riffs and drums] [Verse 2; Acoustic guitar starts back, drums, keeping a moderately fast beat throughout] Around this time last year I had a gun to my head Then things became clear Now this time I’ve got a mic instead The devil threw me down And cut off my wings But that doesn’t mean That he pulls the strings [Pre-chorus; Just drums building] We all have our reasons We all have our scars Don’t judge mine ‘cause I’m not who you are~ [Chorus; Aggressive vocals made to prove a point, heavy electric guitar and drums] Cause I’ll keep going till I’m flying high It’s only failure if I don’t even try So go ahead and talk your talk While I walk my walk But if you’re gonna be a bitch Make sure you know me before you talk shit [Hard drum solo leading into a heavy electric guitar and acoustic guitar arrangement that goes back and forth between the electric and acoustic at a faster pace until dramatically stopping and going back into the slower drum beat from the intro] [Verse 3; light acoustic guitar with slow light drum beat to keep the verse flowing until the pre-chorus] I’ll be that voice in your head when the truth gets loud I’ll be the one who went and made his family proud I may have my scars but I haven’t lost the fight I’ve been stuck in the dark but now my fires bright I’m running on fumes but I won’t lose my stride This is my shield that keeps me alive~ [Pre-Chorus; Beat intensifying leading up to the final belting vocal] Every stumble Every bruise Every person that I had to lose This road I’m paving for me and mine Don’t mistake my patience for wasted time~[Instrumental silence during the belting of this vocal] [Chorus/Outro;] Cause I’ll keep going till I’m flying high It’s only failure if I don’t even try So go ahead and talk your talk While I walk my walk Yeah, you go right on ahead, I heard everything you said But if you’re gonna be a bitch Make sure you know me before you talk shit.
