Not Weak

Lyrics

Verse 1
They looked at me sideways
Like I lost my mind
Said I took the easy road
But they don’t see the climb
I sat with my own mess
And I chose to stand
Had to put the bottle down
Had to save my hands
They call it being weak
I call it getting free
I’m not runnin’ from the truth
The truth came findin’ me

Pre-Chorus
You can talk your talk
Let it roll right off
I been through the fire
I ain’t been knocked off
This choice is mine
I made it in the dark
Now I walk it out
With a scarred-up heart

Chorus
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I know what I need
That’s enough for me
Say what you want
That’s your view, not mine
If you feel froggy then leap
Go on, test this line
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)

Verse 2
I seen the old friends
Try to sell me shame
Like a clean new start
Was something I should blame
But I don’t owe nobody
A reason to heal
I’m doin’ this for my soul
That’s a deal I sealed
They can shake their heads
Let ‘em watch me rise
I got grit in my bones
And truth in my eyes
If you confuse my peace
With me backin’ down
That’s a poor mistake
And it won’t last around

Pre-Chorus
You can point and laugh
I won’t lose my ground
I was born in the storm
But I’m still around
This road got teeth
And I felt each bite
Still I chose the long way
To get my life right

Chorus
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I know what I need
That’s enough for me
Say what you want
That’s your view, not mine
If you feel froggy then leap
Go on, test this line
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)

Bridge
I’ve been broken open
I’ve been counted out
But I learned my name
When I stopped lookin’ down
You can keep your judgment
I don’t need your stamp
I’m still standin’ tall
On my own two legs in the dirt

Breakdown
Let ‘em talk
Let ‘em stare
I’m still here
I’m still there
Try me if you want
I won’t fold
I found my spine
I found my soul

Final Chorus
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I know what I need
That’s enough for me
Say what you want
That’s your view, not mine
If you feel froggy then leap
Go on, test this line
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
I’m not weak (I’m not weak)
