Unbowed

​[Intro] ​(Explosive distorted guitar riff kicks in with driving, heavy drums. A sudden silence, followed by the sound of a match striking and a heavy, sharp exhale) Yeah! You think you own this city? Think again. ​[Verse 1] ​Grew up on concrete, fed on the rage, Taught myself young how to break from the cage! Tape on my knuckles, direct to the jaw, I am the judge and I am the law! Five little souls behind me in the dark, I took every fire, I swallowed every spark. You call me venomous, call me a threat, 'Cause I never bowed and I never forget! White streak in my hair, eyes full of spite, Try to push me down — I will ruin your night! ​[Chorus] ​(Guitars explode into full volume, raw, powerful vocals) I’m the thorn in your side that you can’t pull out! I’m the scream in the alley when the lights go out! No crown, no throne, no masters to obey, I burn down the walls that you put in my way! Hit me, test me, throw me to the ground, I am the noise that you can’t shut down! ​[Verse 2] ​(Heavy 808s blended with aggressive rhythm guitar) Echoes of a gunshot freezing my chest, Ghosts in my mind, but I don't get rest. Digging through the ruins, chasing ancient dust, While the sun burns hot and my veins try to rust. Immune system failing? Pain in my head? I’m still standing here when you wished I was dead! Cards on the table, I double the stake, I don't bend, I don't bleed, I don't fucking break! ​[Bridge] ​(Music drops into a heavy, slow-paced bass groove. Voice drops low, husky, intensely dangerous) Touch my family... and you won't walk away. I don't ask for mercy, I don't ask to pray. Don't reach out your hand, don't pretend that you care, I pull my own weight through the smoke and the glare. (Guitars build up rapidly with heavy double-bass drum) I don't need your pity! I don't need your help! I RAISED MYSELF! ​[Chorus] ​(Maximum energy, screaming vocals blended with melodic power) I’m the thorn in your side that you can’t pull out! I’m the scream in the alley when the lights go out! No crown, no throne, no masters to obey, I burn down the walls that you put in my way! Hit me, test me, throw me to the ground, I am the noise that you can’t shut down! ​
