(Verse 1)
Off the boat, scars on my skin,
Chasing peace I’ll never win.
They said America’s streets were gold,
But all I found was blood and cold.
Roman laughs, but the debts go deep,
Every favor comes with a price to keep.
I’ve seen war, I’ve buried friends,
Now I’m fighting ghosts that never end.
---
(Chorus)
This is Liberty, and there’s no way back,
Once you pull that trigger, it all fades to black.
Dreams turn to dust, hope’s on the run,
In this city of shadows, you trust no one.
I came for life, but I found the game,
Now every street just whispers my name.
I ain’t a hero, I ain’t a saint —
Just a man with blood in the paint.
---
(Verse 2)
Jacob's smoke, Packie’s pain,
Kate’s smile, lost in rain.
Dimitri lied, blood was spilled,
Everything I touch gets killed.
The money's fake, the fame don't last,
I'm just another soul haunted by the past.
Phone keeps ringing, heart feels numb,
I don’t even know what I’ve become.
---
(Bridge – emotional & slow)
I wanted peace, just wanted a life,
No more guns, no more strife.
But Liberty don’t forgive, it don’t forget,
You play long enough, you drown in debt.
---
(Final Chorus – bold & broken)
This is Liberty, and there’s no way back,
From rooftop deals to alleys black.
I lost myself to win this war,
And I don’t know what I’m fighting for.
But I’ll keep driving, keep moving fast,
Till this city fades into the past.
No happy ending, no clean track…
Just one more job —
And no way back.
