No Apologies
Written by Levi Kreis

I was born in the hills of East Tennessee
Grew strong on fried chicken and sweet tea
Had a God-fearing family
Went to church every time the doors were open
In the crib Granny Jones had a prophecy
She said look out cause that boy can sing
Granny knew before anyone
Music was the life that I’d be living
And I wouldn’t change anything
What I am is what I am

I might be country
I might be poor
I might have sang so long for Jesus
That you say that I got soul
I might get trashy
I might be simple as can be
But I got my roots, I got my pride,
And I got no apologies

Here I am a young man with a fancy dream
Out of place on the streets of Los Angeles
With a soulful sound, a southern drawl
And a mind that I’ll be speaking
Ain’t it funny how it really doesn’t matter what’s in
When you’re feeling this comfortable in your own skin
You’re a superstar, don’t you know that you are the one and only
And I wouldn’t change anything, what I am is what I am

Ch

You better know yourself
(I’m into that, I’m into that)
Before you love yourself
(I’m doin’ that, I’m doin’ that, ya’ll)
You better reclaim yourself
(I name it brother, I claim it sister)
Embrace yourself
(Sho’ nuff sho’ nuff )

Ch.

No Apologies
I got my roots, I got my pride, and I got
No, no no no no no apologies

Levi Kreis Nashville, Tennessee

I"m a singer and songwriter from East Tenessee. Since my debut album in 2005, I've explored a myriad of genres from piano pop to rock to Americana soul. I'm most at home when it feels a bit gospel, a bit country and a bit poppy. You'll usually find my lyrics explore personal growth and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable with you. Thanks for being here. It's good to meet you. ... more
