lyrics

[intro]
Check, check
Check 1, check 2

He's not with you

Buckle up, tight lace, knuckle up, fight face
Often need to kick to create a little leg space

Choose big shoes

[verse 1]
He's not with you, wadin in the water
You got issues, blame it on your father
See what the kids do, make it teeter totter
Only you can convince you to take it like a martyr

Or take it like a man and stand for your ideals
Choose big shoes put your foot down right here
Speak with conviction, brass knuckle diction
Brock jaws don't talk, now they gotta listen

He went and dissed you, albeit it indirectly
Did he hit or miss you? I find it interesting
That you need a tissue, all that puff chesting
Slice like a ginsu right through your nesting

Or you could build your nest so it can't be brought down
Choose big shoes put your foot down right now
Transition, segue way
Opposition make way
Often need to kick to create a little leg space

[hook x2]
Yeah the one-two punch haymaker lays waste
Often need to kick to create leg space
Buckle up, tight lace
Knuckle up, fight face
Often need to kick to create a little leg space

Yeah the one-two punch haymaker lays waste
Often need to kick to create leg space
Buckle up, tight lace
Knuckle up, fight face
Often need to kick to create a little leg space

Stick to your

[bridge]
Stick to your guns, finger flexed on the trigger
Never pick up and run when you're pressed to be bigger
Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger
When you're pressed to be bigger

Yeah, Stick to your guns, finger flexed on the trigger
Never pick up and run when you're pressed to be bigger
Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger
When you're pressed to be bigger

[hook x2]

[verse 2]
Now who did you think you were foolin when you acted?
Knew it would leave you to ruin but you backed it
Do what you doin, but when it's that attractive
You gotta see through it, automatic tactics

Box full of matchsticks, maybe you should strike one
Explosive plastics, maybe just ignite one
You could cock the hammer back, tell em that the fights done
Choose big shoes, two roads, take the high one

Please stay seated while the coasters in motion
It gets a little heated when the drama's unfoldin
Like bombs are explodin all around the foxhole
Sellin you an escape, hero so you're not sold

Never gonna fold no matter what the hand you hit
Success isn't guaranteed, people gonna up and quit
Stronger and focused, built a little different
Choose big shoes even when they say they'll never fit

[hook x1]
