[Verse]
Chalk on my hands streets under my wheels
Don't care for your lessons they don't feel real
Bell rings I vanish like smoke in the breeze
Authority's chains? I hold the keys
[Chorus]
Skate or die yeah skate or die
Roll through the cracks while you ask why
Rules are lies yeah rules are lies
Only mine only mine they satisfy
[Verse 2]
Classroom's a cage I can't stand the grind
Freedom screams louder inside my mind
Concrete's my church sky's my stained glass
Every kickflip's a prayer every rail I pass
[Prechorus]
They shout stop
I speed up
They say drop
I jump up
[Chorus]
Skate or die yeah skate or die
The world’s a map and I’ll defy
Rules are lies yeah rules are lies
Only mine only mine they satisfy
[Bridge]
Bruised knees scraped palms scars I wear proud
Falling’s just part of chasing the loud
The quiet’s a death I can’t abide
Skate or die yeah skate or die
