[Verse 1]
Woke up with a weight on my chest
Same script, same cage, same test
Clock ticking on a life I don’t get to choose
Every rule like a rope on my neck
Told me “sit down, stay in your lane”
But my heartbeat banging like it’s begging for change
I’ve been quiet, compliant, playing it safe
Till the pressure in my veins start carving an escape
[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life
I’m so tired of the restraint
I just wanna break my chains
I just wanna break my chains (yeah)
I just wanna live my life
Push that fear into the flame
If I crash or if I fly
I just wanna break my chains (break my chains)
[Verse 2]
They want numbers, titles, tags
Little box with a barcode stamp
Every “should” like a brick in a wall
I’m done trying to fit, I was built too tall
If my dreams too loud, let ’em cover their ears
I’ll be screaming till the ceiling disappears
Every fault that they hold to my face
I turn that shame to a spark, let it blaze
[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life
I’m so tired of the restraint
I just wanna break my chains
I just wanna break my chains (hey)
I just wanna live my life
Push that fear into the flame
If I crash or if I fly
I just wanna break my chains (break my chains)
[Bridge]
Hands up if you feel that burn
Heart heavy but the wheel still turns
Yeah we bruised but we built from the strain
Every scar is a key to the gate (woah)
Hands up, let the doubt fall dead
All that “can’t” just smoke in your head
From the ground we gon’ carve our name
Right now, right here, unchained
[Chorus]
I just wanna live my life
I’m so tired of the restraint
I just wanna break my chains
I just wanna break my chains (yeah, yeah)
I just wanna live my life
Push that fear into the flame
If I crash or if I fly
I just wanna break my chains (break my chains)
