SAY IT LOUDER

Intro Nah. Don't stop now. Say it louder.

Verse 1 You had a whole damn sermon while my back was turned Had every table leaning in to watch me burn Now I'm facing you and suddenly your glass Needs more attention than the mouth you ran so fast Funny how brave travels better secondhand How a whisper grows a spine passing man to man You painted me ten feet tall when I wasn't around Now I'm three feet away and you can't find the sound

Pre-Chorus No, no — I liked the version from across the room

Chorus Say it louder I don't think the back wall heard Put your chest behind the bullshit If you're proud of every word Say it louder Don't let eye contact change your tune You were ten feet tall behind me Now own every word in this room A rumor's just a coward With somebody else's mouth So if you came here to talk shit — Don't whisper now Say it louder

Post-Chorus LOUDER.

Verse 2 I heard I'm broke, I heard I'm scared Heard every mile I made was luck getting there Keep going — by closing time You'll know my story better than I know mine You know my business better than I do Must be exhausting, being me for you So here's the floor, professor — finish what you spun And if you borrowed my name for courage Give it back when you're done

Pre-Chorus Come on You had so much to say a minute ago

Chorus Say it louder I don't think the back wall heard Put your chest behind the bullshit If you're proud of every word Say it louder Don't let eye contact change your tune You were ten feet tall behind me Now own every word in this room A rumor's just a coward With somebody else's mouth So if you came here to talk shit — Don't whisper now Say it louder

Bridge Here's what scares men like you — Not fists Not scars Not me It's the five seconds after somebody says: "Go on. We're all listening." That's when borrowed courage Starts checking for the door

Final Chorus Say it louder Say exactly what you said Put your own damn name On the bullshit that you spread Say it louder Let this whole room decide You don't have to like me, brother Just keep that same voice when I arrive A rumor's just a coward Trying not to own the sound So say my name again — I'm standing right here now Say it louder

Outro Thought so.
