[Verse 1]
They told me sit down, keep my head low,
Follow every rule, never steal the show,
Paint by numbers, live inside the lines,
Trade my freedom away one piece at a time,
Teachers, bosses, critics in my ear,
Feeding me their doubts, trying to fuel my fear,
But I was born wild, never built to obey,
Got a fire in my chest that won’t fade away,
[Pre-Chorus]
You can push, you can pull, you can try to control,
But you’ll never own my heart, you’ll never own my soul,
Every scar, every fight made me who I am,
And I’m done being another cog in your machine, man,
[Chorus]
Break the chain! Break the chain!
I’m not living life inside your cage!
Raise your voice, let ’em hear your name,
We were never meant to play their game!
Stand up! Fight back!
Never let them put your spirit on a rack!
No fear, no shame,
Tonight we’re gonna break the chain!
[Verse 2 – Rap]
I’ve been counted out, written off, pushed aside,
Told to fall in line and swallow every ounce of pride,
Nah, I’m done with that, I’m taking back the wheel,
Everything I say and every dream I feel,
They love compliance, they hate when you think,
Want your head underwater while they’re standing on the brink,
But the louder they scream, the stronger I become,
A thousand voices rising beating louder than a drum,
I’m not your puppet, not your property,
Not another face trapped in conformity,
If freedom has a price then I’ll gladly pay,
‘Cause I’d rather stand and fight than kneel another day,
[Pre-Chorus]
You can push, you can pull, you can try to control,
But you’ll never own my heart, you’ll never own my soul,
Every scar, every fight made me who I am,
And I’m done being another cog in your machine, man,
[Chorus]
Break the chain! Break the chain!
I’m not living life inside your cage!
Raise your voice, let ’em hear your name,
We were never meant to play their game!
Stand up! Fight back!
Never let them put your spirit on a rack!
No fear, no shame,
Tonight we’re gonna break the chain!
[Bridge]
No kings, no crowns inside my head,
No lies deciding where I’m led,
Every wall they build, we’ll tear apart,
You can lock the door but not the heart,
Whoa-oh-oh!
We’re still standing!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Never backing down!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Hear the sound of rebels rising from the ground!
[Final Chorus]
Break the chain! Break the chain!
We’re the spark they’re never gonna tame!
Raise your voice, let ’em hear your name,
We were never meant to play their game!
Stand up! Fight back!
Light the fuse and never look back!
No fear, no shame,
We’ll be remembered when they forget our names!
[Outro]
They tried to own us, tried to make us bend,
But freedom’s where the story ends,
So raise your fists high through the pouring rain—
Together we’ll break the chain!
