[Verse 1]

You talk loud from a distance
Like a storm that never lands
Got opinions in your pocket
But no dirt upon your hands

Every rumor that you're sellin'
Every whisper that you spin
Keeps my name up on your tongue
While I'm busy cashin' in

[Pre-Chorus]

You keep watchin' every move
Waitin' for me to fall
Funny thing about your spotlight
I don't need it at all

[Chorus]

Keep talkin', keep talkin'
I'm already gone
Dust flyin' off these back roads
Long before the dawn

Keep hatin', keep hatin'
If it helps you sleep
I'm too busy buildin'
To be losin' sleep

Throw another stone
Try to dim my view
But the higher that I climb
The smaller lookin' you

[Verse 2]

You measure every step I take
Like it's yours to own
But I built this from the ground up
Yeah, I built it alone

If my freedom makes you angry
That's a weight that ain't mine
I won't shrink to fit your story
Or apologize for shine

[Pre-Chorus]

You keep countin' every win
Like it belongs to you
I built this from the ground up
Ain't a thing you helped me do

[Chorus]

Keep talkin', keep talkin'
I'm already gone
Dust flyin' off these back roads
Long before the dawn

Keep hatin', keep hatin'
If it helps you sleep
I'm too busy buildin'
To be losin' sleep

Throw another stone
Try to dim my view
But the higher that I climb
The smaller lookin' you

[Bridge]

Rearview full of faces
Tryin' hard to slow me down
I don't stop for road signs
Painted by a jealous crowd

Every word becomes a mile
Every doubt becomes a flame
You were busy talkin' 'bout me
I was busy makin' a name

[Final Chorus]

Keep talkin', keep talkin'
That's all you know to do
I'm still ridin' past the limits
You're stuck with nothin' new

Keep hatin', keep hatin'
Say what you believe
The only thing I'm carryin'
Is the future up my sleeve

Throw another stone
I got skin like proof
Every time you doubt me
I raise another roof

[Outro]

Rearview gettin' smaller
Miles ahead and clear
You can stay behind complainin'
I'm already disappearin'
