Let me tell ya a little story 'bout 
how I was raised,

Every day work, every day pray

God, family, friends yeah everybody 
sins,

never wins,

greed,

a jealous man is weak, so think 
before you speak,

 hate let it go,

need slow,

real,

So listen up y'all cuz this is how I
 feel


[Chorus]

 E               G
I won't back up, I don't back down

 D                   E
I've been raised up to stand my 
ground

 E           G
take my job, but not my guns

D             E
tax my check 'till I ain't got none,

E                                 G 
(Hold)
except for the good Lord up above,


I answer to no one,
