You look at me like I’m to blame Like I was born outside your frame I keep my head and walk my lane You throw your doubt but miss your aim You build a case off what you see Decide my worth before you speak I stand the same, I don’t retreat Your verdict don’t mean much to me Pre-Chorus I won’t bend just to ease your mind Chorus You shut me out, I’m still right here You try to drown me in your fear But I’m not going anywhere Verse 2 You talk like you can read my skin Like you can name the place I’ve been You draw conclusions paper thin And call it truth you’re standing in I don’t exist to fit your mold I won’t be bought, I won’t be sold Your narrow view is getting old My ground is firm, my voice is bold Pre-Chorus I won’t bend just to ease your mind Chorus You shut me out, I’m still right here You try to drown me in your fear But I’m not going anywhere (instrumental) Final Chorus You shut me out, I’m still right here You try to drown me in your fear But I’m not going anywhere
