My Voice
Embracing Authenticity: My Voice
Lyrics
Sugar is for suckers, tricks are for kids
Sugar is considered foolish, and tricks are for children.
Pretended that I liked it, but I never did
The persona pretended to like something but never truly did.
Spoon fed, candy coated
Describing something as easily accepted or pleasant but superficial.
Take the f-bombs out of what you wrote if
Suggesting to remove explicit language for radio play.
You want the radio to play ya
To be played on the radio, the content should be radio-friendly.
Make it sweet like a cherry lifesaver
Advising to make the content sweet and appealing.
But they'll probably never play me cause I'm not a boy
Speculating that her music might not be played due to gender.
And guess what I can't change
Accepting the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
The sound of my voice
Referring to the distinctive quality of her vocal sound.
So get used to the sound of my voice
Emphasizing the persistence of her voice in the industry.
Cause I'm sticking around
Committing to staying despite hypothetical choices.
Even if I ever had the choice
If given a choice, she wouldn't change her voice.
I wouldn't change the sound of my voice
Reaffirming the refusal to alter the distinct sound.
Too rock for country, too country for punk
Feeling out of place in traditional music genres.
But who said I had to pick either one
Rejecting the need to conform to a specific genre.
Tattoos at the Opry
Mentioning unconventional elements in a traditional setting.
I could cover em up but it's not me
Choosing authenticity over hiding tattoos.
If I stick to the script when I'm talking
If she follows a prescribed script, her song may become popular.
Sit on some laps then my song'll go top ten
Implying compromising personal integrity for success.
Nashville's cranking out Chryslers just like it's Detroit
Comparing the music industry to car production cities.
But guess what I can't change
Reiterating the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
The sound of my voice
Encouraging acceptance of her unique voice.
So get used to the sound of my voice
Continuing the theme of persistence and presence.
Cause I'm sticking around
Stating commitment regardless of hypothetical choices.
Even if I ever had the choice
Expressing the refusal to alter the distinct sound.
I wouldn't change the sound of my voice
Emphasizing the value of her unique voice.
The only time I'm gonna be boxed in
Declaring that she won't be confined until death.
Is when I'm six feet under in a coffin
Asserting that restrictions will only come with death.
Over my dead body will I stop making noise
Committing to making noise until death.
But guess what I can't change
Reiterating the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
The sound of my voice
Repeating the unique quality of her voice.
The sound of my voice
Reaffirming the distinctive sound as a constant.
So get used to the sound of my voice
Encouraging acceptance of her unique voice.
Cause I'm sticking around
Stating commitment regardless of hypothetical choices.
Even if I ever had the choice
Expressing the refusal to alter the distinct sound.
I wouldn't change the sound of my voice
Emphasizing the value of her unique voice.
No I can't
Asserting the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
I can't, I can't change
Repeating the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
No I can't
Asserting the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
I can't, I can't change
Repeating the inability to change a fundamental aspect.
The sound of my voice
Reiterating the unique and unchangeable nature of her voice.
The sound of my voice
Reaffirming the unique and unchangeable nature of her voice.
