Lyrics: Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor
Music: Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor
I walked down roads with the dust in my hair
Worked my fingers raw, while nobody cared
The smile on my face was there whenI'd go
But I learned real quick what I needed to know
Life's too short for fake handshakes
Too much pain in the love they make
So I pour my heart in what I do
And let the lies roll off like morning dew
Hate me all you want, Idon't care
Idon't mess with two- faced hypocrites, I swear
I'm gonna be me, and stay busy working hard and living free
You can talk your talk behind my back, Iain't got time for that kind of act
I'd rather die standing tall than live on my knees
Yeah, hate me all you want,I'm at peace
Some folks love to see you fall apart
They feed off your pain likeit's fine art
But I got a fire thatwon't go out
A soulthat's real,that's whatI'm about
Every scarI've earned, I wear with pride
They remind me who I am inside
You can keep your gossip, your plastic smiles
I'll be chasing dreams for miles and miles
Hate me all you want, Idon't care
Idon't mess with two- faced hypocrites, I swear
I'm gonna be me, and stay busy working hard and living free
You can talk your talk behind my back, Iain't got time for that kind of act
I'd rather die standing tall than live on my knees
Yeah, hate me all you want,I'm at peace
Let the thunder roll, let the rain pour down
I've made peace with this old town
Don't need no crowd,don't need no show
I'm found with the truth, I know
Hate me all you want, Idon't care
Idon't mess with two- faced hypocrites, I swear
I'm gonna be me, and stay busy working hard and living free
My hands are dirty, but mysoul's clean
Living my truth, chasing my dreams
You can hate me all you want,it's fine by me
CauseI'm free
Yeah,I'm free
