Prompt / Lyrics
I’m just bein’ me, I ain’t tryna play tough, Yeah I take things serious, that’s how my folks raised us. When it comes to my job, my heart, and protectin’ my kin, I put my boots on tight and give it all I can. You walk in talkin’ loud like you’re runnin’ the scene, Tryna act too cool, but that ain’t impressin’ me. Sayin’ “lighten up, bro,” like we’re lifelong friends, But I don’t spill my story ’til I know a man. (Pre-Chorus) You’re tryin’ hard to fit in, runnin’ mouths just to stand tall, Talkin’ ’bout me and others—man, that ain’t real at all. ⸻ (Chorus – Longer & With God) ’Cause respect is earned, not handed out for free, You want it from the world? Start with who you’re tryna be. I work hard with pride in every job I got, Ain’t chasin’ the drama, I’ve got enough at my spot. I keep my head down, stay true, stay real, God made me steady, and that’s just how I feel. You can talk your talk, but you don’t shake me— I’ve walked through storms that only God helped me beat. So if you don’t like me, then let it be— I don’t give a dang who does or who don’t, ’Cause I’m just bein’ me… yeah, God made me me. ⸻ (Verse 2) I mind my own business, stay quiet, stay grown, Clock-in is business, clock-out I go home. I ain’t judging your hustle, don’t you judge mine, We all got battles we’re carryin’ behind our eyes. You say you want respect, but you’re throwin’ dirt names, Actin’ like a victim when you’re stirrin’ up flames. Man, I walk the line steady, that’s the way I was taught, My word, my honor—both things God bought. (Pre-Chorus) I’ve seen enough of people talkin’ loud but standin’ weak, Respect comes from character, not how loud you speak. ⸻ (Chorus – Longer & With God) ’Cause respect is earned, not handed out for free, You want it from the world? Start with who you’re tryna be. I work hard with pride in every job I got, Ain’t chasin’ the drama, I’ve got enough at my spot. I keep my head down, stay true, stay real, God made me solid, and that’s just how I feel. You can talk your talk, but you don’t shake me— I’ve walked through storms that only God helped me beat. So if you don’t like me, then let it be— I don’t give a dang who does or who don’t, ’Cause I’m just bein’ me… yeah, God made me me. ⸻ (Bridge – Teddy Swims soulful rise) I ain’t perfect, I ain’t flawless, But the Lord knows I’m honest. If that ain’t good enough for you, Then walk on through—He’ll see me through. ⸻ (Final Chorus – Big Jelly Roll + Luke Combs energy) Yeah respect is earned, you gotta stand on your own, And God’s the one who taught me how to stay strong alone. I work hard with pride, and I sleep just fine, ’Cause He keeps my heart clean and my soul aligned. And if you don’t like me, man, set yourself free— I don’t give a dang who does or who don’t, ’Cause God made me me… Yeah, God made me me. ⸻ (Outro) I’m just bein’ me… Real as the dirt on these old work jeans. Thankin’ God for the man He let me be… Yeah, I’m just bein’ me.
