Intro (feedback, slow chug)
Let it drag… then slam.
Verse 1
Sun baked lies and a plastic crown
Florida chewed me up, tried to pin me down
Palm trees hiding rotten deals
Smile for sale, nothing real
Bills climbed higher than the tide
Had to choose if I lived or just survived
Pre-Chorus (build, toms rolling)
I won’t rot where comfort kills
I won’t bow to empty thrills
Chorus (half-time, crushing)
I crossed that line with fire in my chest
Left the heat, left the mess
Didn’t run—I broke the chain
Traded noise for blood and grain
No beach gonna own this man
I plant my boots in Alabama land
Verse 2
No neon saints, no fake parade
Just calloused hands and debts get paid
Kids breathe free, nights stay dark
Stars don’t hide, they leave their mark
Work still hurts, but it means somethin’ here
Silence louder than my fear
Pre-Chorus (snarl it)
Truth don’t shine, it scars
I’d rather bleed than wear their mask
Chorus (full force)
I crossed that line with gasoline
Burned the life they sold to me
I wasn’t losin’, I was done
Chasin’ heat instead of sun
This ground answers when I stand
Alabama land
Bridge (drop everything but bass + vocal)
Florida fed me smoke and shine
Alabama gave me time
No ocean roar, no paper crown
Just dirt that don’t let you down
Breakdown (slow, nasty)
CHUG — CHUG — pause
You can keep your paradise
Built on debt and dressed in lights
I choose weight
I choose pain
I choose roots
I choose my name
Solo (wah + southern bends, then chaos)
Final Chorus (double vocals, octave scream)
I crossed that line, no lookin’ back
Cut my losses, carved my path
No crowd owns my breath or hand
This life’s earned, not planned
If I fall, I fall where I stand
On Alabama land
Outro (last hit, let it ring)
I didn’t flee—
I reclaimed who I am.
