[Verse 1]
You're made to sign
but I was made to stand
mama said don't ever depend
on anybody but yourself
and be sure that you are real good man
Dry those eyes
pick up that lip
Tie your shoes
it's time to—
[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to hold my own
time to walk alone
if I shake, I shake
but I don't fold
Mama made a map
in the lines of her hands
said real love starts
where your feet land
[Chorus]
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I'm standing tall tonight
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I won't need saving
[Verse 2]
I wore your doubt
like a coat too long
I dragged that weight
down every road
til my name got loud
in my own throat
Now I know
what the mirror meant
when it looked at me
and said repent
for every time
I begged to bend
[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to hold my own
time to walk alone
if I shake, I shake
but I don't fold
Mama made a map
in the lines of her hands
said real love starts
where your feet land
[Chorus]
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I'm standing tall tonight
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I won't need saving
[Bridge]
If I fall down, I rise clean
if I break, I break free
I got my own two feet
and they know me
Dry those eyes
I can see the dawn
what she gave me
keeps me strong
[Final Chorus]
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I'm standing tall tonight
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I won't need saving
Pick up that lip
pick up that lip
I'm my own good man
