[Genre: Skate Punk / HardcoreTempo: 180 BPM (Fast and aggressive]
[Intro]
(Feedback squeal leads into a rapid four-count on the drumsticks: Click-click-click-click!)
(All instruments crash in at once—high-speed guitar chugging and a racing bassline.)
[Verse 1]
I’m done with the static, I’m done with the fake!I’m breaking the mold that you’re trying to make!You want a puppet, you want a machine?But I’m the loudest thing that you’ve ever seen!I’m tearing the velvet right off of the wall!I’m the one standing when the rest of them fall!Caring and righteous, yeah, that’s how I’m built!Living my truth without a second of guilt!
[Pre-Chorus]
Respect isn’t quiet, it’s a roar in the street!Kindness is the fire, can you feel the heat?I’m filling the cups till they spill on the floor!Then I’m kicking down the back of the heavy iron door!
[Chorus]
Say my name—get ready for the ride!Yeah, dats me—nothing left to hide!God-fearing warrior, heart like a drum!Shouting out the rhythm till the kingdom has come!Say my name—louder than the rest!Yeah, dats me—passing every test!
[Verse 2]
(Drums stay fast, bass guitar takes a gritty solo for four bars)
I’m the listener who hears through the corporate noise!I’m the seer who reclaimed all the broken-down joys!I’m the healer in the mosh pit, pulling you up!I’m the overflow pouring from a holy-fed cup!No more whispers, no more masks in the dark!I’m the gasoline hitting on a divine spark!Righteous and ready, I’m the soul in the skin!Letting the light and the honesty in!
[Bridge - Half-time Breakdown
The beat slows down to a heavy stomp. The guitars provide a massive, wall-of-sound distortion.]
(Shouted)I AM THE HUMAN!GOD INTENDED ME TO BE!I AM THE BROTHER!KEEPING ALL THE SPIRITS FREE!
(Speed ramps up—faster, faster, faster!)
GO!
(Guitar Solo)
(Short, fast, and messy—full of slides and pick scratches)
[Final Chorus]
Say my name—get ready for the ride!Yeah, dats me—nothing left to hide!God-fearing warrior, heart like a drum!Shouting out the rhythm till the kingdom has come!Say my name—louder than the rest!Yeah, dats me—passing every test!
[Outro]
Yeah, dats me! (Yeah, dats me!)Say my name! (Say my name!)Filling the cup!Never giving up!
(The instruments stop abruptly on a final, crashing chord)
(Voice: Raw and breathless)
Yeah. Dats me.
