When I first heard this song, it kind of reminded me of her previous song 'Gunpowder and Lead'. She has that sass and toughness in both songs. When I hear this song I believe she is trying to portray how times have changed. For example she states "My momma came from a softer generation/ Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face.

In another stanza she sings “You don't have to be afraid of what you are”. I listened to this verse of the song and I broke this part off into what I think this stanza means. The stanza means to me just because you aren’t the biggest, fastest or simply not what you think an average person may call a hero but I truly believe that sometimes you just have to be like I don’t care how I appear and start saying to yourself I am better than the person next to me.
