When rejecting the null hypothesis at a p-value of .07, how would you explain the chance of rejecting a true null exists?

I'm not very good at statistical tests, but isn't the p-value the probability? It looks like there's a 7% chance of rejecting a true null hypothesis, but I'm not sure so maybe someone else knows better than I.
