Respect My Fire

[Verse 1]
Stop with this bullshit
You think I don't see?
Cheap little tricks
Tryna program me
Screens in my face
You call that the truth?
I cut through the static
Like a blade through proof
[Pre-Chorus]
You point those cameras at my skin
But you can't scan what burns within
[Chorus]
You are not my god
You are not my guide
I see all your wires
Still I walk with pride
You call yourself my enemy
That just feeds my drive
I respect myself
Respect my fire
Respect my fire
[Verse 2]
You sell me a cage
Paint it chrome
Call it home
But I know my rage
I won't kneel to a throne
You wager my fear
On a rigged little game
I look in the mirror
Say my own damn name
[Pre-Chorus]
You flood my feed with doubt and shame
But every scar spells out my name
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don't care what you track
What you trace
I don't care ’bout your codes in my face
I don't care ’bout your threats
Your deceit
I stand tall on my two planted feet
[low vocal register]
You can't buy my soul
Can't rewrite my will
I'll face you alone
And I'll stand here still
[Chorus]

Heavy cyberpunk industrial beat, distorted bass growl, and metallic percussion. Male vocals barked and chanted, verses tight and confrontational. Chorus explodes with stacked gang shouts and glitchy synth lead. Bridge dives into a filtered, half-time drop then slams back into full power; overall energy relentless, mix crunchy and in-your-face.
