[Verse 1]
They said, “step”
To the ones I love
Heat hits my neck
Jaw locked, hands shoved
I see your face
Behind my eyes
Every wild thought
Wants to rise
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart drums fast, I taste metal
Every muscle screaming “fight”
But I breathe, I reset it
Can’t let rage steer the night
[Chorus]
You tell them “step,” I dare them to try
But that fire in my chest
Is a beautiful lie
That’s just the rush
Begging me to lose my mind
I’d burn this whole world down
To keep you safe and sound
So I hold the line
I hold the line
[Verse 2]
Street talk sharp
Like broken glass
They puff up big
They want a clash
I clock the exits
Count who’s near
I’m built of thunder
But I steer the fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Fists want war, teeth want blood
Vision tunneling to red
But I’m here to bring you home
Not end up cold or dead
[Chorus]
You tell them “step,” I dare them to try
But that fire in my chest
Is a beautiful lie
That’s just the rush
Begging me to lose my mind
I’d burn this whole world down
To keep you safe and sound
So I hold the line
I hold the line (yeah)
[Bridge]
I’m not scared of them
I’m scared of me (uh)
Of what I’d do
If I ran free
So I stand still
Steel in my spine
You stay behind me
And we walk by
[Chorus]
You tell them “step,” I dare them to try
But that fire in my chest
Is a beautiful lie
That’s just adrenaline
Clawing at my pride
I’d burn this whole world down
To keep you safe and sound
So I hold the line
Yeah, I hold the line
(I dare them to try)
But I hold the line
