[Chorus]
Fuck what they think about me
I was born like this, I’m proud, you see
Talk that talk, but they don’t know me
I’ma stand ten toes, I’ma be OG
Fuck what they think about me
I ain’t tryna fit in, I’m just tryna be free
If they hate on the kid, let it be
I’ma die as myself, that’s me, that’s me (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Country boy, same dirt on my boots
Same scar on my chin from the truth
They laugh when you broke, then they switch when you up
Either way, they gon’ talk on the stoop
Mama said, “son, don’t fold”
“Talk loud, but they heart stay cold”
So I carved my lane in this red clay road
If they point they finger, I just lift my soul (uh)
Gold grill flash when I grin
Tattoo on my neck, all sin
Still pray every night, I win
I don’t bend, I don’t break, I don’t blend in (nah)
They wanna see me stuck in the past
But I’m cut from a whole ‘nother class
You can whisper my name, you can trash my path
But you can’t rewrite my ass
[Chorus]
Fuck what they think about me
I was born like this, I’m proud, you see
Talk that talk, but they don’t know me
I’ma stand ten toes, I’ma be OG
Fuck what they think about me
I ain’t tryna fit in, I’m just tryna be free
If they hate on the kid, let it be
I’ma die as myself, that’s me, that’s me (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Big belt buckle, big dreams
Came from the gutter, ripped seams
Used to pray on a late-night beam
Now I toast to the pain with the whole damn team
They said I was too rough, too loud
Too dark, too broke, too proud
Every “too” that they threw like a stone at my house
Turned bricks, now I’m building my crown (yeah)
Hometown still talk in the bar
Say I changed when I bought that car
But they ain’t see the gas in the jar
When I rode on E just to chase that star
Look, I ain’t gotta prove I’m real
I ain’t gotta beg you to feel
You can judge my life from a screen all day
But I still wake up in my skin, that’s the deal (for real)
[Chorus]
Fuck what they think about me
I was born like this, I’m proud, you see
Talk that talk, but they don’t know me
I’ma stand ten toes, I’ma be OG
Fuck what they think about me
I ain’t tryna fit in, I’m just tryna be free
If they hate on the kid, let it be
I’ma die as myself, that’s me, that’s me (yeah)
[Bridge]
Hands up if you feel that shame
Turn it to fuel, turn it to flame
They gon’ talk when you lose, when you gain
Either way, it’s your blood in your veins (say my name)
Hands up if you feel that doubt
Turn it to drive, map your route
They can keep runnin’ they mouth
I’ma keep livin’ out loud, no drought
[Chorus]
Fuck what they think about me
I was born like this, I’m proud, you see
Talk that talk, but they don’t know me
I’ma stand ten toes, I’ma be OG
Fuck what they think about me
I ain’t tryna fit in, I’m just tryna be free
If they hate on the kid, let it be
I’ma die as myself, that’s me, that’s me (yeah)
