No Chains Left

(Slow menacing beginning)

(Verse 1)

Yeah, I hear you talking like you’re ten feet tall,

But you crack like glass when it’s time to stand at all.

You point your finger at me —

Go screw yourself, clown —

I’ve been fighting uphill while you just run your mouth.

You want respect?

Then earn it, kid —

I built my name on every scar you hid.

I don’t break,

I don’t fold,

I don’t quit —

You’re just noise in the background,

A tantrum I outgrew quick.

You say you’re real —

I call bullshit.

You tried to cage me,

But I burned through it.

I’m not your puppet,

I’m not your shame —

You want me silent?

Too bad, not today.

You keep pushing,

I push back harder —

I don’t walk away,

I hit back smarter.

You want a fight?

Then say my name —

‘Cause I’m done with your crap,

And I’ve got no chains left to break.

I’ve carried dead weight longer than I should,

Tried to fix things for people who never would.

You talk big online like you run the streets —

Man, you’d trip over your own damn feet.

I’ve seen real hitters,

I’ve seen real pain —

You’re just thunder with no damn rain.

Keep swinging wild —

You’re missing the point:

I’ve been forged in heat

You couldn’t handle at half the joint.

You say you’re real —

I call bullshit.

You tried to cage me,

But I burned through it.

I’m not your puppet,

I’m not your shame —

You want me silent?

Too bad, not today.

You keep pushing,

I push back harder —

I don’t walk away,

I hit back smarter.

You want a fight?

Then say my name —

‘Cause I’m done with your crap,

And I’ve got no chains left to break.

[Bridge)

You want the smoke?

Then step to the front —

I’ve dealt with tougher clowns

In a five-minute stunt.

I don’t need your rules,

I don’t need your throne —

I built my power from the ground up, alone.

(Guitar solo)

I’m not your puppet,

I’m not your shame —

You want me silent?

Too bad, not today.

You keep pushing,

I push back harder —

I don’t walk away,

I hit back smarter.

You want a fight?

Then say my name —

‘Cause I’m done with your crap,

And I’ve got no chains left to break.
