Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You can cross that line

And look me in the eye

Say my name like dirt

Try to make me small

I seen that kind before

At the end of a bar

Smile with your knife

And miss the mark

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need your crown

I don't need your nod

I been here, I been good

Through the whole damn fall

[Chorus]

Respect me or not

I still stand tall

Respect me or not

I won't crawl

You can keep your praise

Keep it in your jaw

Respect me or not

I still stand tall

[Verse 2]

Boots on a muddy road

Hands split by the work

I paid in my time

Every scar got earned

If you turn away

That's your own cold choice

I got my own name

And a louder voice

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need your crown

I don't need your nod

I been here, I been good

Through the whole damn fall

[Chorus]

Respect me or not

I still stand tall

Respect me or not

I won't crawl

You can keep your praise

Keep it in your jaw

Respect me or not

I still stand tall

[Bridge]

Let the room go quiet

Let your judgment shake

I know who I am

I don't need your weight

[Final Chorus]

Respect me or not

I still stand tall

Respect me or not

I won't crawl

You can keep your praise

Keep it in your jaw

Respect me or not

I still stand tall
