You send your poison words my way
Slander me with the things that you say
Your pointed words are not misunderstood
I just won't be a victim when you're out for blood
I know you don't respect me
I'm not blind to your distaste
But I respect myself
and that's something that you cannot change
You always feed off our every mistake
As though you've never made a bad choice in your life
You always feed off our every mistake
Talk behind my back, I feel no shame
You would rather grind your heel
In the face of the broken and abused
Push them further in the dirt
Just to prove your self-worth
I'm not a picture perfect man
I won't pretend I've never screwed up before
But I believe in honor
I will take the weak by the hand
I will not be shamed!
I guess Grace is something
That only you can receive
'cause you've taken condemnation
And made it our disease
But I won't bow before your hate
Won't change my life to earn respect
Not afraid to speak my mind
I'm not ashamed of who I am
I know you don't respect me
I'm not blind to your distaste
But I respect myself
and that's something that you cannot change
I will not be shamed
