Verse 1
I was boxed in by rules I didn’t write,
Voices sayin’ “stay small,” I’m like, nah, not tonight.
They tried to map my future with a pen full of fear,
But I tore up the page, now the vision is clear.
Every step I take echoes, concrete shakes,
They said I wouldn’t last, I said, “watch me elevate.”
I learned pain’s just fuel when you burn it right,
Turn scars into sparks, let ’em light the night.
Pre-Chorus
They love you quiet, love you in line,
But I was built to question every stop sign.
Chorus
I’m breakin’ the chain, yeah I’m cuttin’ it loose,
No strings on my hands, no cage on my truth.
I stand on my name, I don’t bend, I don’t fade,
This is freedom in ink, every word that I say.
I’m breakin’ the chain, hear the lock when it snaps,
Independent mind, never fallin’ back.
I don’t wait for permission, I choose my lane,
This life’s mine—yeah, I’m breakin’ the chain.
Verse 2
They measure success by the likes and views,
I measure it by how I stay true.
I don’t need a crown just to feel like a king,
Got a backbone strong, got a fire that sings.
I been doubted, counted out, laughed at, too,
But pressure makes diamonds, that’s facts, not views.
Every wall I hit taught me how to climb,
Now I write my future one bar at a time.
Bridge
No leash on my voice, no leash on my soul,
I’d rather walk alone than be owned or controlled.
Chorus
I’m breakin’ the chain, yeah I’m cuttin’ it loose,
No strings on my hands, no cage on my truth.
I stand on my name, I don’t bend, I don’t fade,
This is freedom in ink, every word that I say.
I’m breakin’ the chain, hear the lock when it snaps,
Independent mind, never fallin’ back.
I don’t wait for permission, I choose my lane,
This life’s mine—yeah, I’m breakin’ the chain.
Outro
Freedom ain’t given, it’s taken by will,
So I’m runnin’ uphill just to prove that I will.
No fear in my stride, no weight in my frame,
Say it loud, say it proud—I’m breakin’ the chain.
