From the recording Boxland Music Collection 3

A defiant blues anthem about standing your ground when faced with negativity. The protagonist refuses to compromise their authenticity for people who pass judgment. With each verse, the narrator grows stronger, transforming hurt into empowerment through the cathartic release of blues music. The chorus hits like a knockout punch: direct, unapologetic, and liberating. It's a song for anyone who's ever been dismissed or underestimated – a blues battle cry for self-respect.

Lyrics

### Verse 1
*Well, you walk on by with your head held high*
*Got that look in your eye, like I ain't worth your time*
*You whisper and you talk, think I don't hear what you say*
*But I've been down this road before, ain't gonna ruin my day*

### Chorus
***You don't like me – then f* you***
***I ain't gonna change for you***
***You don't like me – then f* you***
***I'm gonna do what I do***

### Verse 2
*You judge my shoes, you judge my blues*
*You judge the way I sing my truth*
*But I got scars that made me strong*
*And I got a heart that still beats on*
### Chorus
***You don't like me – then f* you***
***I ain't gonna change for you***
***You don't like me – then f* you***
***I'm gonna do what I do***

### Bridge
*I've walked through fire, I've walked through rain*
*I've carried burdens, I've carried pain*
*But I'm still standing here tonight*
*And I ain't backing down from this fight*

### Verse 3
*So take your poison tongue and go*
*I got my guitar and my soul*
*I got my people who believe*
*And that's all I'll ever need*

### Final Chorus
***You don't like me – then f* you***
***I ain't gonna change for you***
***You don't like me – then f* you***
***I'm gonna do what I do***
***Yeah, I'm gonna do what I do***

### Outro
*[Slide guitar wails as the harmonica cries out one final time]*
*Yeah... f* you*
*[Music fades with a defiant guitar sting]*
