Chains are open in mind

(Verse 1)

Wake up early, sun ain’t out

Same old hustle, same old doubt

Pockets empty, but my mind’s alive

Dreamin’ ‘bout the day I don’t just survive

Dirty hands, but a clean-cut plan

One day I’ll stand where no boss stands

I’m stacking hope with every scar

Gonna own my time, gonna raise that bar

---

(Chorus)

No more chains on me, no locked door key

I’m gonna run this road ‘til I’m finally free

No clock to punch, no rules to please

I’ll build my throne from my blood and dreams

---

(Verse 2)

These tired boots know every mile

But I walk them roads with a crooked smile

‘Cause I see a light they’ll never see

A fire burnin’ wild inside of me

They sell me time for a nickel wage

But I’m writing life on a bigger page

They’ll know my name when I sign that check

And I’ll be my boss, yeah, what’s next?

---

(Chorus)

No more chains on me, no locked door key

I’m gonna run this road ‘til I’m finally free

No clock to punch, no rules to please

I’ll build my throne from my blood and dreams

---

(Bridge – gritty and slow)

Every dish I washed, every floor I swept

Built the backbone they won’t forget

I ain’t made to crawl, I was born to lead

Watch me break away, watch me plant that seed

---

(Chorus – big and triumphant)

No more chains on me, no locked door key

I’m gonna run this road ‘til I’m finally free

No clock to punch, no rules to please

I’ll build my throne from my blood and dreams

---

(Outro – soulful)

So here I stand, the crown I claim

A working man with a burning flame

No boss above, just destiny

And a life I carved for the world to see
