[Verse 1]
You drew a line through our front yard
Spat on the name on our mailbox
Thought we'd scatter like dry leaves
You misread the roots in these rocks
You talk loud
We talk less
We just tighten up our fists
Prayers written on bruised knuckles
Every scar a witness
[Chorus]
We stand up
Bloodline never bows
For my kin
I’m fire right now
You come for one
You come for all
We rise
We strike
We never fall
We stand up
Teeth against the crown
For our name
We never back down
[Verse 2]
You circle close
Counting numbers
I count faces I would die for
Sister shaking
Brother seething
I step forward
"You want war?"
I feel their fear behind my shoulder
I feel their faith inside my spine
If I break
They break with me
So I turn and draw the line
[Chorus]
We stand up
Bloodline never bows
For my kin
I’m fire right now
You come for one
You come for all
We rise
We strike
We never fall
We stand up
Teeth against the crown
For our name
We never back down
[Bridge]
I hear grandma in my heartbeat
"Guard your own
Don’t you run"
Every insult
Every ambush
Just more reasons not to turn
[Chorus]
We stand up
Bloodline never bows
For my kin
I’m fire right now
You come for one
You come for all
We rise
We strike
We never fall
We stand up
Teeth against the crown
For our name
We never back down
