[Intro]
Yeah
Spread wings on ’em
Still caged?
Couldn’t be me
[Verse 1]
They told me “sit down”
I stood on the table
They offered me chains
I turned ’em to cable
Climbin’ up higher
Hands full of scars
Learned how to pray
While swingin’ at guards
Man’s world, built it
Out of our backs
We carry the weight
They takin’ the plaques
I’m breakin’ the frame
Of every old script
If power’s a plane
I’m hijackin’ the ship, like
[Chorus]
Eagle in a man’s world
I was born to fly, not fold
Middle of the storm, I soar
Freedom in my veins, I glow
Living my best life
Claws in the rock, I hold
Eagle in a man’s world
Eagle in a man’s world
[Verse 2]
Wake up, cold floor
Turned it to marble
Stomach was empty
Now I’m too full for the barstool
Walk through fire
Sweat smellin’ like metal
Heart been heavy
Now it’s the foot on the pedal
They wanna see me
Beg for a seat
I built the table
Then blessed the feast
Talk about “limits”
I lost that word
Only time I run
Is runnin’ up worth, like
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Head up
Chest out
[low vocal register] I don’t owe this place my doubt
Hands up
Fists loud
They can feel my faith from miles around
I was dirt
I was dust
Now I’m diamonds cut from rust
If they hate
Let ’em talk
I’m an eagle
I don’t walk
[Chorus]
