[Intro] Static in my skull Teeth on the wire Boots on the concrete Gas in the fire (hey!) [Verse 1] I was raised on "stay in line" Sharp tongue, dull life, steel spine Teacher said, "Pick one lane" I broke the road, set blaze, left flames Bus pass, punch clock, same chair Same cheap jacket, dead stare Now my name buzz round their boardrooms Same kid they said would die bored soon I don't fit in your spreadsheet squares Barcode dreams, plastic prayers You sell fear like flavored gum I chew it, spit it, load my lungs [Chorus] I got a firewall in my veins (veins) Every rule you write, I bend the frame (frame) You build those walls, I climb, I carve my name (name) You wanna shut me up? You gon' learn today I got a riot under my skin (skin) Every "sit back down" just pulls me in (in) You lock that door, I kick it off the hinge (hinge) You wanna shut me up? Watch me make you listen [Verse 2] Clock hits 9, whole block on mute Same grey sky, same cheap suit But my block speak code in the bass line Side street sermons in the brake lights Mamá said, "Mijo, be safe" But safe feels same as the chains So I lace my faith in the chaos Turn every "later" to "say what?" They sell futures in plastic bags Quick high, long fall, toe tags I want land deeds, free schools Big sound systems, strong tools [Bridge] Hands up if you tired of the script they wrote (hands up) Hands up if you drowning in a shallow vote (hands up) Hands up if you broke but your dream too big If you sick of being data in a rigged spreadsheet [Chorus] I got a firewall in my veins (veins) Every rule you write, I bend the frame (frame) You build those walls, I climb, I carve my name (name) You wanna shut me up? You gon' learn today I got a riot under my skin (skin) Every "sit back down" just pulls me in (in) You lock that door, I kick it off the hinge (hinge) You wanna shut me up? Watch me make you listen
