[Verse 1]
Yeah, you throw your mess my way
I catch it, toss it, keep it moving
I got calluses on my patience
I got grit in the ribs of my shoes, yeah
You talk big, I stay calm
Hands in my pockets, mind in motion
I been trained by the hard days
Now your bull crap just adds to my focus
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe in, count to ten
Let it pass right through my hands
What you swing at me
Turns me into something stronger
[Chorus]
I got thick skin (thick skin)
I shovel through the mess
I got thick skin (thick skin)
You make me strong, I guess
I got thick skin (thick skin)
I turn pain to gain
I got thick skin (thick skin)
Thank you for the gym
[Verse 2]
You can try me, I won’t crack
I bend low, then I come back higher
I been bruised, I been tested
Still I move like a blade through wire
Every jab is another rep
Every lie is another mile
I watch you lose your own control
While I build up my quiet smile
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe in, count to ten
Let it pass right through my hands
What you swing at me
Turns me into something stronger
[Chorus]
I got thick skin (thick skin)
I shovel through the mess
I got thick skin (thick skin)
You make me strong, I guess
I got thick skin (thick skin)
I turn pain to gain
I got thick skin (thick skin)
Thank you for the gym
[Bridge]
I don’t need to swing back
I just lift, I just rise
Every ugly thing you handed me
Turns into muscle in my mind
Yeah, I see you clear
And I still stay grounded
You were heavy for a second
Now I’m better for it, count it
[Chorus]
I got thick skin (thick skin)
I shovel through the mess
I got thick skin (thick skin)
You make me strong, I guess
I got thick skin (thick skin)
I turn pain to gain
I got thick skin (thick skin)
Thank you for the gym
