about

This track was one of the first tracks I wrote for the EP. It's honest and a little spiteful. It's one of those anthemic songs that made me relive every embarrassing moment I had growing up, and lit the fire in my belly. It's me flippin the bird to the jerks in the world, but I've made sure the focus in the song is my journey and not theirs. I'm not wishing people the worst--I'm just wishing myself the best.

lyrics

You’re thinkin’ that hate makes you bigger
Cuz you know how to make me feel small
Well, I don’t intend to stay here
As a name scribbled on bathroom stalls

Oh
These sticks and stones
May break my bones
These sticks and stones
They just build up my score
Tell me you’re scared to the core
Your words don’t hurt anymore
No, they don’t hurt anymore

See, I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder
Reminds me I’ve got bigger plans
Tells me each day I get older
Is a day to celebrate what I have

Oh
These sticks and stones
May break my bones
These sticks and stones
They just build up my score
Tell me you’re scared to the core
Your words don’t hurt anymore
No, they don’t hurt anymore


Ohhh
Uhuh
I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder
Reminds me I’ve got bigger plans
