[Intro-Spoken]
They say blood’s thicker than water…
but I’ve drowned in both.
[beat pause — heavy inhale sound or bass rumble building]
[Verse 1]
Bled for the fam — still called ungrateful
Fed every plate — still labeled hateful
Break my back — you don’t blink twice
Still keep score — like you own my life
Every move I make — you twist that shit
Act like my phone’s — a smoking clip
One night out — I’m a scandal queen
Nah — you just mad I ain’t on your string
[Hook]
I love you — but fuck your crown
I won’t bow — I won’t stay down
If me being me — makes me the bad guy
Then suit me up — watch me multiply
I love you — but I cut that chain
You can keep your guilt — I’ll keep my name
[Verse 2]
Respect don’t come — with a birthdate stamp
You ain’t a king — just ‘cause you’re cramped
Talk your shit — but I’ve paid my dues
And I don’t dance — when you pick my shoes
Say I’m cold — ‘cause I draw my lines
Say I’m lost — ‘cause I don’t play blind
Truth is — I just stopped breaking my spine
To hold up a throne — that was never mine
[Bridge]
Nah — I’m not bending ‘cause it makes you calm
Not your shield — not your quiet bomb
Not your blame — not your easy mark
You can’t snuff out — what you didn’t spark
[Hook]
I love you — but fuck your crown
I won’t bow — I won’t stay down
If me being me — makes me the bad guy
Then suit me up — watch me multiply
I love you — but I cut that chain
You can keep your guilt — I’ll keep my name
[Outro]
Still blood — still kin — but I’m done being small
I’ll climb my own ladder — let you guard your wall
If my freedom’s your crime — then bring the fight
‘Cause I’ll take my win — in broad daylight
