Goodbye to Chains

[Intro]
Goodbye, probation, dark days behind me
Step into the sun, now I finally see
Clock's been ticking, freedom's so sweet
Starting over, feeling complete

[Verse 1]
Two years chained to the wrongs of my past
Walking through storms, hoping it wouldn't last
Faces of doubt, shadows so long
But I held on, stayed strong

[Pre-Chorus]
They got all four signatures to set me free
Now I breathe easy, finally can be me
No more check-ins, no more red lights
Walking tall through brighter nights

[Chorus]
Hey hey now, goodbye probation
Breaking free, no hesitation
Hey hey now, goodbye probation
Living my life, no more flagellation

[Verse 2]
Carrying trauma, learned to survive
But now I’m here, feeling alive
No more texts or court dates
Just open roads, new fates

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m shedding the past, stepping into the day
Freedom’s a song, and I’m here to say
No more drugs tests, no more stress
Just peace, happiness, and success

[Chorus]
Hey hey now, goodbye probation
Breaking free, no hesitation
Hey hey now, goodbye probation
Living my life, no more flagellation

[Bridge]
Can finally breathe, can finally smile
Walking the path, mile after mile
CBD and drinks, the world’s wide open
No more chains, no more broken

[Outro]
I served my time, I paid my dues
Now it’s my turn to choose
Hey hey now, goodbye probation
This is my life, my liberation
